Yes, I watched a couple of minutes of it and mentioning some thing for Ratings is something ALL NEWS does. It is no different with CNN vs let's say FOX NEWS every day for a two year period pushing the Hillary Clinton email story with continual unnamed secret sources allegedly were insiders with a scoop, and all of these supposed experts like Napolitano, and Judge Jenine and Rudi Giuliani that were certain she should go to jail and all kinds of bull shit coverage....they ran with what their audience WANTED TO HEAR....
Yeah, I don't spend much time with Fox. Unwatchable for the most part.Yes, I watched a couple of minutes of it and mentioning some thing for Ratings is something ALL NEWS does.

CNN is NOT lying in all of their coverage, they are pursuing a story...that could be something...just like the Washington Post pursued the Watergate story for 10months after bernstein and woodward's first story, BEFORE anything was confirmed in the open with the hearings...and proving Bernstein and Woodward were truly on to something....
And YES, if their coverage is an outright lie, then they should RETRACT it and apologize from here to high heaven!
I don't want government news like Russia or any communist or Dictatorial Country...we have a first amendment to protect us from that....
You can TURN THE CHANNEL if you do not want to hear their news focus...
I can't tell ya how many times I have screamed at Fox News on TV and just ended up changing the channel....
Well, THAT is the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE of the past which all conservatives and republicans have been against reinstating, where the News was REQUIRED to cover both sides of the story, not just the station's point of view...or the Station's preferred focus.Yeah, I don't spend much time with Fox.

But regarding CNN and other media outlets, there is a significant difference between reporting something that is false, or lying, and being blatantly biased in the way the news is presented. I've sat there and watched as CNN and MSNBC ran panel after panel after panel of non-stop Trump-bashing, with only an occasional Trump supporter tossed in as a token (and one of the especially goofy ones at that).
I realize we're past unbiased journalism at this point (sadly), but I do think a reasonable person, an adult with intellectual curiosity, would want a better attempt at presenting all sides of a discussion. Give me the straight facts, don't color or bias them, and I'll draw my own conclusions. No one is doing that at this point.

Not that I'm aware of. The righties are doing with "fake news" the same thing as the lefties do with "snowflake" - the term wounded them so they've co-opted it.Well, THAT is the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE of the past which all conservatives and republicans have been against reinstating, where the News was REQUIRED to cover both sides of the story, not just the station's point of view...or the Station's preferred focus.Yeah, I don't spend much time with Fox.

Outside of the ONE STORY that is being focused on now, where CNN did not check and verify their sources before reporting on it, and has retracted and apologized for it.... I don't see this "fake news" that is being claimed.... even the supposed CNN guy in the link DID NOT SAY they made up stories out of the clear blue, he simply said they are focusing on the Russian investigation because it is bringing them higher ratings...no where did I hear the CNN producer say they were fabricating fake stories as all of these right wingers are claiming?? Did he say they were fabricating stories???
