I think CNN is too one-sided. And prejudiced. And judgmental. And they have Larry King (whom I find extremely irritating).
I don't think CNN is too one-sided. I think they try desperately to look that way in a feeble attempt to look like Fox News. More than anything, they are now pathetically inexperienced and run like a rip-and-read journalism chop shop.
CNN shot themselves in the head once Ted Turner was shown the door. Now they all talk about being THE experienced cable news network and all, but they made it an open programming/financial policy years ago to fire all their experienced journalists and replace them with young mounds of clay with airbrushed faces and blank stares -- inexperienced automatons so eager to be on TV that they willingly take on near-minimum-wage salaries.
In the name of competing with their eroding market share in the U.S. to Fox News, CNN decided that infotainment was the ultimate market and not journalism...chasing more of Fox News and what they do, and being only second best at it. Idiots. They're getting what they deserve: more market share erosion.
CNN's motto should really be: "CNN: trying to be Fox News on the cheap"
