Since CNN is taking a hard Right turn, they no longer need Fact Checkers or professional journalists, producers, editors....

Today CNN had a piece about railroad strike, it was bit after bit asking if elected union leaders were willing to put Americas economy on the line by striking, asking the workers directly if they cared about the impact of the rail roads shutting down over sick days.

Why do I say this in relation to CNN and turning right? CNN isnt asking rail corp CEOS if they are willing to put Americas economy on the line because of a few sick days AFTER making record profits by reducing employees? If those CEOs are willing to keep profits high at the expense of both the workers and the American economy as a whole? Nope none of those questions, ever.

If CNN cared about the workers they wouldnt be supporting the corporations, and in my views the left is proworker, thats another discussion. MSM is strikeningly conservative in general as is.

Look into who is now running the network and his past. It's not as crazy of a statement as you think.

Licht worked with Colbert, it just seems like the only thing that matters here is money and the money and/or will to make CNN better is not there. So the plan seems to be to make CNN even worse and cheaper and hope that they can position themselves between MSNBC and Fox News, when that's obviously crazy for multiple reasons. (People who presently believe CNN is controlled by Satanists for being mean to Trump are not going to come to their senses)

uh. dude. they are just trying to be more middle of the road. you have to be a stalinist to think CNN is a hard right news network. they can't compete with msnbc for left wing eyeballs so they are trying to go a little more down the middle. you then act like its foxnews and want it cancelled.

rolls the eyes.

Not saying he's correct but you misunderstood. He's claiming they will be taking a hard right turn and you're responding to if they have taken a hard right turn. You'll want to ask him the specifics on why he believes that if you want to provide a good counterweight.

Laughable to suggest that CNN is taking a “hard right turn.” It’s aiming to present the news in as politically unbiased a way as possible.

That’s not hard right. That’s trying to be politically neutral. The aim is to be factual and not take a partisan slant.

So no obvious liberal slant like MSNBC and no obvious right-wing slant like Fox News. Shouldn’t that be what people want???
