Where to start reading reliable news? I d like to get more educated in this area. I've stopped reading newspaper after Trump's election. I have literally no idea whats going on right now

Is this an example of left-wing bias?

I think so because Tapper isn't consistent with his attacks.

How so? I think Tapper has a pretty good reputation for being tough on both sides.

Also, pointing out facts isn't an attack, lol.

It's not CNN's job to be a cheerleader for any specific legislation, they are there to be critical of what our government is doing and ask policymakers relevant questions. The tax cut legislation is going to balloon the deficit at a time when the economy is already doing pretty well. Inconvenient facts.

The president covering up a past affair with a pornstar by having his lawyer pay her hush money a short time before election day is a relevant political story... funny enough it was the WSJ that broke the story some months ago. CNN's American coverage is hyperfocused on what's going on in America, and they mostly focus on the day to day news. I know it would be nice if the media just ignored the stupid things president Trump says and does, but it's not going to happen, sorry sport.


Not all facts are created equal according to you, only facts that support one narrative must be covered meanwhile the other, just as important facts on a topic, could just be ignored because god forbid they be objective at the peril of saying that one of Trumps policies was actually beneficial in any way.

I think it's hilarious what a fan boy you've become for CNN. Every time it comes up you come to their defense, it's almost like you take it personally lmao.

CNN isn't the greatest, but they do an alright job covering American politics. I think Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper cover the White House in a fair way. Trump cultists like yourself don't like any news outlets criticizing the dear leader.

CNN is a shitty organization because they spend way too much time covering "controversy" (see the Malasia flight), not because they don't cover politics fairly.

Youre backpedaling from months ago when you said "bias doesn't matter"

If I keep pointing out facts about black crime, that could certainly be construed as attacking black people. How you present the facts is just as important as the facts themselves.
