Hillary Clinton is a liar. I don’t mean this as political conjecture, but a proven, verifiable liar. She lied about the Irish peace process, her vote in favor of the Iraq war, her reason for illegally using a personal email server, that her family was dead broke when they left the White House, about landing under sniper fire in Bosnia, where Chelsea was on 9/11, who she was named after, Benghazi, and the list goes on................................................
This is nonsense. Most of the things you listed can be easily refuted in 15 seconds -- a list like that can be endless when it has zero credibility. Clinton was willing to lose a presidential election because she wouldn't deviate a step from the vote she cast on the war in Iraq, that (the entire Congress was lied to); saying she lied about it is just moronic.

What's wrong with CNN's political coverage specifically?
I'll take this opportunity to give them some credit for their coverage this year specifically because I've been hard on CNN in the past. They've been absolute dogshit in the past, including last year when, on a daily basis, they aired Trump events uninterrupted with no commentary over the top which amounted to billions of dollars in free media. They've at least been more skeptical this year and have not just accepted his campaign's talking points willingly and then regurgitated them for him, though hiring his disgraced former campaign manager remains the worst hire in the history of journalism.
What made them bad in the past was that they were the absolute worst offender in false equivalence coverage, which is the biggest problem in American journalism. They've been better about not doing that this year, which is important because this is the year when we've needed people to understand the most that one of these candidates is not like the other.
