“”I know CNN has taken some knocks lately but the fact is, I admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story, just in case one of them happens to be accurate.

CNN (Cable News Network) is the original of the United States' 24-hour cable news networks, and now sits along with MSNBC, Fox News, ABC et al. Launched in 1980 by Ted Turner, it is the home of much news and opinion designed to look like news. Unlike Faux News, with its right-wing imbalance, and MSNBC with its liberal imbalance, CNN appears as the "centrist" news source. Pew Research found CNN to be the least biased of the three major cable news networks (with Fox and MSNBC having a much larger right and left wing slant, respectively).
With some "left-leaning" commentators like Piers Morgan and Fareed Zakaria it has been accused as slightly left-leaning. However, CNN's efforts to appear "balanced" has resulted in many cases where stories are reported with more of a right-leaning bias.[1] Since the late 2000s, much of the content on CNN consists of current events, misinformation, misinformation, more misinformation, opinion pundits, reruns, and other crap that not many people watch anyway, as CNN's ratings have continuously dropped.[2]
Everyone does love the occasional Anderson Cooper, though...
