CNN's slant these days is basically pro-corporate, I think.

CNN is pure fear-propaganda.

FOX tends to be more sensationalist, but CNN is a strong runner-up.

I was subjected to CNN in various airports, and I was struck by how often they
felt the need to run their "CNN: The most trusted name in news" promo. Trying
to apply the old "oft-repeated lie" principle, perhaps?

Perhaps they saw how many people had swallowed Fox "Fair and Balanced" News'
tripe..
As distressing as it is to contemplate, CNN might actually *be* "the most
trusted name in news." (which says nothing about their accuracy, just about
what television-news viewers are accustomed to accept as reporting.)

CNN was the only station I could find that showed a Hubble photo of Mars
tonight. It was *much* better than with my binoculars (which only served
to prove that I shake....).
I look at CNN headline news to get some idea of what has happened recently
of the headline variety, not expecting with a "trusted name" or "fair and
balanced". There are other sources that are better for those. My biggest
gripe is that there is only maybe 25% "news": the rest is advertising and
grandstanding.

Exactly. I use CNN to find out what the heck is going on, and then find
may other sources to find out the more indepth "why's".

CNN Healines news still looks like an exploded web page, with news
stories put into some mixer and randomly presented.

I usually try the BBC's web page first, then go to CNN's out of
desperation if the BBC doesn't have anything about whatever bit of
breaking news I'm interested in.
