'The most trusted name in news'
School District Just Banned CNN From Classrooms - Washington Free Beacon
The Norwin Star reported that the Pittsburgh-area Norwin School Board voted 5 to 4 on Monday to halt daily broadcasts of CNN 10 during middle school homerooms. Banning CNN 10 was among the campaign promises made by new school board members Christine Baverso, Alexander Detschelt, and Shawna Ilagan, whom parents voted into office in 2021.
Parents have objected to the bias of the program. One said broadcasting it gave her son the message "that CNN is a label you can trust."
CNN 10 is a digital news program that produces the "big stories of the day, explained in 10 minutes," according to its website. The show is anchored by Carl Azuz, a self-described gym rat and purveyor of bad puns. At the beginning of each broadcast, he promises to give a "down-the-middle explanation of world news."
Recent topics covered by CNN 10 include "chimpanzee empathy" and "crude oil, gas prices, and inflation are rising: Are they connected?" After noting that inflation hit "its highest level since 1982" last month, Azuz attributed the rise to Russian aggression.
