They ought to eat more crow for their constant coverage of the Trump campaign last year, but whatever.

iPhone_7 07/06/17 1:01:02 PM #10:	Jon Stewart's criticism wasn't about hating the entire network. He mocked the major news outlets in general, most often Fox because of their constant pushing of fake news. When he targeted CNN it was because he wanted them to be the middle ground, to be balanced as opposed to the rightwing agenda on Fox and the leftwing agenda on MSNBC. --- Sig User Logic http://i.imgur.com/lA5fm7w.jpg <cite>iPhone_7 posted [p:882433470] in Jon Stewar...

When he targeted CNN it was because he wanted them to be the middle ground, to be balanced as opposed to the rightwing agenda on Fox and the leftwing agenda on MSNBC. He also mocked them for punting interviews, stupid follow up questions, and staging certain debate topics in 1v1 panel discussions that were more designed to cause conflict than they were to educate audiences. This last one is probably where CNN gets the most shade right now, that and continuously hiring certain people to disingenuously argue certain points on their air. How Conway made it back on air after the "Bowling Green" massacre should distress us because of the stark contrast it casts with the standards of yesteryear. We're basically one on-air suicide threat away from Network. --- https://i.imgtc.com/72JF7CA.jpg (by mark2000) 13 Transwomen of color have been murdered since 1/1/2017 <cite>hollow_shrine posted [p:882434054] in Jon Stewar...

iPhone_7 07/06/17 1:35:16 PM #20:	The thing he'd also criticize CNN for is pitting leftwing pundits and rightwing pundits to debate instead of cutting through the bulls* and stating the actual facts for the viewers. They'll invite conservatives and give them air time to spread their bs if it means it'll cause the rest of the guests to be shocked and outraged and draw in ratings. ZCheveyo posted... I don't watch a lot of news, but I remember growing up that CNN is the news people would talk about when they were talking about what was happening "right now" in the world....when exactly did that change?
