Capitol Hill Blue Forums Misc. Topics The Media Has CNN made a right turn?

I was perusing the CNN show this morning CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt. I was surprised to see that they had no, zero, none, segments concerning the misinformation and lies being spread and pushed by Trump and the GOP. Those lies have caused issues for those gullible enough to believe them. And they didn't have one segment - 5 minutes - on the subject.

I have noticed this at other times too when Trump and the GOP have spread lies, the cat eating Haitians in Ohio for example. They had relatively small coverage on that topic as compared to other outlets.

I am disappointed in them. I used to believe that CNN was near center in reporting - meaning, they didn't lean as far left as MSNBC and also didn't lean as far right as FOX .
Maybe it was just that one show in this instance, but I have generally noticed this in other shows too. I think the change seemed to happen around the same time they left Don Lemon go from their employ.

Is it just me?

Try Scripps News, which is available live OTA on different broadcast channels, or streaming, or on cable.

Just go to https://www.scrippsnews.com/ to find it near you.
It's a lot like the news coverage we used to take for granted.

Thanks for the tip Jeff. I'm on my way there after here.

A very good friend of mine is a fellow film editor and she got her start working on documentaries for Scripps Howard way back in the early 2000's and she ended up editing the rebooted Carl Sagan series COSMOS a couple of years ago.
So I've always had a fondness for Scripps, but I only heard about their news channel a month ago, to which Mary replied in shock, almost "apologizing" because she had assumed I knew it was live on cable.

It is relatively new on cable but apparently they began streaming a couple of years ago.

CNN is simply doing what it can to garner more eyeballs. Capitalism - gotta love it!

Well, they mostly lost this viewer in their efforts. I don't need another FOX (although they're not that bad yet). I've started watching them only to compare what they are reporting on to see if they are leaning towards Trump - the only reason I watch FOX.

I thought maybe they are afraid they will lose their license when Trump wins again. They are being proactive to avoid that.

I watch but, i guess, not as much as I should. Its kinda interesting. Our TV media is in it for themselves. There is little or none of the old, newspaper stuff wherein they, obviously, are after truth and reality of the day. This seems to be proven, over and over, recently, that several of those folks have said they will not be going for one person, or another, for president. This is, as far as I can tell, because they fear the anger of Mr Trump. They do this because he will not be happy or nice to them and they want EVERYBODY (apparently) happy with them. The really bad thing is that if this is the case them watching them will be a complete and total waste of them because you cannot trust them.

This bothers me, and has for a few weeks now I know this is happening because some of those saying this about CNN have, later, done the same thing themselves. Apparently its also true of some newpapers too. All this being the case, one can certainly wonder about what is going on and also who should be trusted??
