Desperate deflections are not newsCNN is unmoving in their bias and hatred for the Trump campaign, and, anything right of center in general really. It's clear their reputation is tarnished and much of this is their own doing.
Fox reported on Flynn's immunity offer, had it on their headline on their landing page and it was covered by various hosts (I catch it with online video). They also addressed the comments made by former deputy assistant secretary Evelyn Farkas to MSNBC in a live interview. Balanced reporting. Of course they focus more energy on the Farkas comments as they support a sitting GOP presidents assertions. I accept this discourse as all networks have their viewers.
Of course, the astounding, direct and informative comments made by Farkas is not worthy of coverage from CNN as it supports Trumps opinion about being targeted. Considering MSNBC is ideologically more in line with CNN than not, it's a clear omission. Clearly unbalanced reporting to the point of being embarrassing really.
Honestly, I never believed in bias of the media. I understood discourse and ideological leaning and accept it to some degree, but not outright bias and self censorship. The recent campaign and the constant focus on Russia for months without any evidence with no interest in the potential crimes and leaks going on by CNN in particular (because it's the network I watch, mainly because I am forced to as we don't get Fox here) is indefensible. Surely they can report both sides of a debate can't they?
I genuinely want to see CNN recover. I want them to be honest and direct. I used to respect Wolf Blitzer, now he seems to be wavering in his objectivity. I do really enjoy listening to Smerconish, based on the recent slide of CNN quality, they don't even deserve him. Otherwise, they are slowly becoming MSNBC light.
Neither are insane accusations about da Rooskies.
Oh okay. Here, tell the FBI about da Rooskies:
