Reply #157: CNN does not have less "propaganda" than Fox or MSNBC -- CNN's propaganda is just more subtle and

therefore less candid.

Every decision on what stories to cover, what order to cover those stories, who to interview as part of those stories, how much time to devote to those stories, which parts of the stories should be questioned and which parts should be accepted as fact without question, etc., reflects a series of decisions. Each decision is based on the idea of achieving a number of goals. Setting those goals is defining an agenda. CNN promotes an agenda to the same degree that MSNBC and Fox promote an agenda, but CNN is more opaque about its agenda.

You agree with me when you say: "'You may more readily identify the biases that Sean Hannity or Rachel Maddow promote' ...is exactly right."

Just because you are unable to readily identify the biases that Brooke Baldwin promotes does not mean there are no biases -- it just means the biases are hidden by a veil of pretend neutrality.
