What is infuriating about CNN is not that they are overtly biased,

[WCGreen]

because I do not believe over all that they are, but that they sure are inconsistent with how they report the news.

They will sometimes take a story right up to the edge and other times be frustratingly "bi-partisan" and omit obvious troubling details for appearance sake.

I think that is what happens when they have so many politically biased people as hosts or as regular commentators with the host rarely, if ever, questioning anything anyone says.

Perhaps they believe MSNBC is now Leftist and Fox is obviously Right so they are marking territory in the center. I understand the marketing decision behind that thinking.

But when you have obvious right wing wackos such Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs and no left leaning shows in the mix, legitimate questions are raised. I guess internally they consider Anderson to be left leaning but he is just Milquetoast compared with the rapid Beck and insane Dobbs. Centrist, yes, leftist, not on your life.

Personally, having pictures of Lou Dobbs with that obviously racist Obama Waffle thing should have been grounds enough for termination. When they let that slide without even a mention, well, that was shameful.

1. CNN is getting to be the most unwatchable station

Exactly for the reasons you state. But more so, the items they choose to discuss are straight off the GOP list. They may discuss it in a less biased way than Faux, but the topics are always the ones of interest to conservatives.

2. A shame. They used to have actual news, which is hard to find

these days. We get the BBC World News for a different take on everything, but they have their own spin.

It would be great to have straight news without spin, POV, or commentary.

I can't think of any place that does that anymore.

3. I think that, in a sense, CNN is the greater abomination cause they only really seem to care...

about money. Just the usual suspects all yammering away back & forth; even Christiane doesn't come out and play unless there's a really big mess somewhere on planet earth. And anchor man John Roberts!? Puh-leaze. As well the previously drifting Gloria Borger is made to sit beside disparate levels of whack and attempt to interject her experience between the pennies, nickels and quarters of CNN's commerce. And anyone that didn't see AC360 coming complete with website, fun facts and gear just wasn't paying attention. In the end I think CNN's bias is fully convertible not unlike a chameleon that always changes back into the color of money, no...

With FOXnews you know what you're looking at: a messed up neocon propaganda machine. With CNN they try to cover it all with adult toy/busy box bells, whistles, and squeak toys.

4. CNN is Worse Than FOX in that they are Much More Dishonest about their Bias

They try to paint themselves a moderate and do a better job of it...
