As a non-American, I am kind of disappointed Season One of the Trump show has finished although the finale really was something special. I hope there is a spin-off series to keep me entertained until Season Two starts in 2024 if the ratings call for it.

Looks like Moscow is trying to get their season of dictator picked up.

Have at it. Personally, I'm more irritated by "food" being used to describe the fast food industry. Maybe I'll take a hint from you and write a long self absorbed complaint about it. It will be really interesting.

The bias is obvious and so, agree. CNN doesn't stand for news. Neither does the "Fox News". There are other sources. Get a grip and move on. PBS is pretty good as well as NPR. While I laugh at the ego-centric attitude in your post, I also agree that CNN is not a dependable news outlet.

Opinion is cheaper and less legally risky than news. It also sells better. Can't blame CNN for looking at Fox and saying "that ain't workin'". Money for nothing and chicks for free.

CNN has definitely become more about opinion than news. I also get annoyed with Don Lemon’s sarcasm and Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo’s self righteousness to the point that I seldom watch them anymore.

I think the norm busting administration of trump has lead to this type of news reporting. While CNN may have taken a page or two from FOX’s playbook, they are not the propaganda tool of a political party like FOX is. CNN also isn’t as disingenuous as FOX and doesn’t spread lies or conspiracy theories like FOX does.

I trust the content and the reporting of CNN’s news coverage, I’ve just become sick of the sarcastic way it’s delivered.

While we might dislike the personalities, CNN and MSNBC follow professional journalistic standards and practices, and there is a consensus of opinion with the rest of the responsible media. There is more "editorializing" and analysis of the days events in the evening, or next morning like on morning joe for instance. Guests often include the journalists who break the stories and they too provide background and analysis along with paid pundits and experts. I see a lot of concern and genuine rage on the part of many people, the same rage we feel ourselves and this is reflected in the opinions expressed. Right now people want responsible government and that means justice too, an end to the Trump nightmare and recovery from covid, they want their lives back.

There are not two sides to this argument about Trump, democracy and the rule of law, or even about what direction the country should take in regards to many policies. Later as normalcy returns differences about policy and left and right ideologies will emerge, but within the democratic party. America must get Trump off the playing field to move ahead and he's committed enough crimes to take himself out. Once he's gone those who supported him will begin to fragment a bit and perhaps the republicans might split.

I don't have any reason to watch CNN so I really don't know if it is that they are bias, or that it is impossible to actually report on the Republicans and not come off as bias.

And as for Maddow, she's MSNBC, and I would argue that she actually does a decent job keeping her rhetoric in check about the crimes that have been going on the last few years. There is only so much you can do to not let emotions seep through when dealing when talking about things like our mentally abusing small children for years.

Or deporting retired vets. Or banning trans people form serving in the military. On and on.

CNN definitely has a bias but I don’t think it’s accurate to lump them in with the likes of FOX. I don’t watch MSNBC but from what I’ve seen in clips, there is a bias there as well.

Perhaps news outlets having a bias has become the norm. I have no problem with that as long as lies aren’t reported as truths. Most reasonable people can cut past the bias and see the story for what it is.

This is the point I was attempting to make. You said it better. Good post.

I can’t really say much about fox, I’ve watched a total of probably 20 minutes of it. What I saw was that bad. But CNN doesn’t seem professional to me compared to what I grew up with.

I agree. It’s become more sensationalizing than it was before. Why in hell is everything breaking news?

As bad as their delivery has become, they’re not intentionally telling lies and their reporting is still fairly accurate.

True, but you can understand why the idiots who support Trump are turned off by it. The more news is accessible to everyone, the better for the country. I wish I had time to watch the normal evening news once in a while, but my schedule never allows that. Wish they played that on repeat. I read 99% of my news.

It was great thank you. I stuffed it with pine nuts, raisins and basmati rice, bit of salt pepper. Then threw it on the bbq for 3 hours with maple chips basted and slow cooked it :).
PS and roasted asparagus :)
Oh one more thing it was -15 hence the slow cook :(
