I don't really get it. Anyway, I'm gonna use this topic to just post the front page of CNN's website everyday. Let's see what the typical top stories on CNN look like.

If you're gonna do this, why not do a side by side comparison with Fox or something.

For example, Fox avoided the hell out of Trump knowing about the Russian bounties for over a year

Honestly considered it, but Fox's page doesn't lend well to screenshotting. Then I considered it wasn't worth producing the comparison anyway because it legitimizes the argument that they are the same thing a different direction. I think just the demonstration that it's not 'two scoops story' land is fine.

Today's front page:



"Covid competitions", wtf?
During a presentation to the City Council this week, Fire Chief Randy Smith also said young people in the city are throwing parties with a payout if they catch coronavirus, McKinstry said.
The first person confirmed by a doctor to have coronavirus after the exposure wins the money made off the ticket sales, she said. Over the past few weeks, there have been several parties in the city and surrounding areas, and probably more that officials don't know about, she added.

... Fuck these people

Must suck living in a world where reporting the news is "constantly lying."

The narrative up that CNN only talks about Trump is destroyed in two posts.

I didn't say they only talk about Trump (doesn't even make sense) I said they keep lying

And they have done for over a decade now.

CNN is no better than Fox News. It's full of bias, misinformation and lies.

I remember during the big flooding events from the hurricane that hit the Texas/Louisiana area a couple years back, there were people on this site talking about CNN was faking a segment where their crew helped a person get out of their car before the flooding swept it away

The evidence they used was that there were two CNN people in the video showing the rescue but neither was the anchor. So where did the third person come from?

I had happened to be watching live and they acknowledged all three people by name, the third person was the mic guy... But this conspiracy theory about CNN faking the rescue apparently had some legs, since the people posting it here got it from Twitter

The senate Republicans said they'd never find him guilty, not that he didn't, two very different things.

I've seen posters reference this event still as "that time CNN faked a rescue".

That's how these things go. People accuse CNN of faking something. It gets thoroughly disproven, but then people only remember the accusation.

No, it does mean you should defend CNN. Because no matter how biased and lacking they might be they're not a megalomaniac buffoon who thinks being president means abusing his power and mobilizing his horde of dimwit cultists into bullying those who speak out against their misdeeds or simply have different views.

From my perspective the bigger issue is that they thought to cover that story at all. That's whats undercutting their integrity as a news organization, not that they're an ethicless corporation that wants to protect it's brand
