Is CNN non-partisan?

[chanel]

CNN has launched a new advertising campaign, claiming to be the only cable network without an ideological ax to grind. “If you want to keep them all honest, without playing favorites, the choice is clear: CNN, the worldwide leader in news,” the on-screen message argues.

So, did CNN “play favorites” during the midterm campaign? MRC analysts reviewed all of the guests and commentators on CNN’s primetime weekday programs from October 4 through October 29, the last four full weeks before the November 2 elections. Guests were grouped into three categories: “Democrat/liberal,” “Republican/conservative,” and “Other.” The latter category included all non-political guests, as well as guests who were not associated with a clear political point of view.

About the Media Research Center


About the MRC

The mission of the Media Research Center, "America's Media Watchdog," is to bring balance to the news media. Leaders of America's conservative movement have long believed that within the national news media a strident liberal bias existed that influenced the public's understanding of critical issues. On October 1, 1987, a group of young determined conservatives set out to not only prove — through sound scientific research — that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values, but also to neutralize its impact on the American political scene. What they launched that fall is the now acclaimed — Media Research Center (MRC).

please detail the studies/information they have skewed.....

 

[NYcarbineer]

Mediaresearch tries to impugn someone ELSE"S credibility by showing, or claiming to show, that they have a partisan bias?

Isn't that a bit ironic?

Every News Network is serving It's own interest first.

MRC doesn't claim to be unbiased. Their mission is to reveal bias in the media.

Ah, so you're saying that just because a source might have a political leaning it doesn't mean that you can automatically dismiss their stories, research, claims, etc.,

on that alone? That the material itself might be factual? Might be credible evidence?

lol, tell that to all those on the right who try to immediately dismiss anything sourced to mediamatters, or the huffingtonpost, thinkprogress, etc., etc.

 

[Truthmatters]

They are partisan hacks paid for by wealthy muthers who want you idiots to believe shit that makes you vote for their interests instead of your own.


Dont for get you guys hate science, higher education and history.

Polls are part of education and science so you have to hate them remember.

Neither does mediamatters.

Foxnews, on the other hand, claims to be fair and balanced. I wonder if mediaresearch did this same study on their primetime guests for October.
