3. Liars vs. Truth Tellers.

CNN is attempting to be the fox propoganda network and MSNBC while failing miserably at both.

There are way too many contributors on the networks attempting to be "fair" and normalize drumpf.

6. CNN only cares about ratings.

The Trumpets are there to make you mad, but keep you watching. They are the foils.
It must work, because their rates are up and the Trump cadets never leave. Basically, watching
CNN is for masochists.

11. Decades of the uncontested "liberal media" mantra has been highly effective.

That and media consolidation into the hands of just a handful of giant corporations has resulted in a preponderance of media lunacy. So-called "news" coverage is an absolute disgrace, which is one of numerous reasons why Trump is in the White House.

12. Agreed. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine and put those in jail who put corporation before country.

and do not forget that we got here (media consolidation) from the right wing following thr Powell Doctrine from the early 70's...do not argue with the liberal media...buy them.
