Poor fella. In denial and perhaps gone insane in some people's views. He's right though, it's not liberal, it's outright socialist.

Prove that they are socialist

The further on the right you are, the more liberal the rest of the world looks.

Proof goes all the way back to 2018.

CNN thinks that socialism is cool. My grandparents from the USSR would disagree.

The founder of CNN himself....

Fact free bias. But I suppose to the extreme right, everything else is socialist especially if you ignore what @The Reverend Bob posted and the background that caused that chart to be developed. The Chart, Version 3.0: What, Exactly, Are We Reading? - ad fontes media - feel free to read it and rebut the logic in that web page.

The same reason Chris Cuomo lied about it being illegal to download the Podesta emails except for the press shortly before the 2016 election.

Fact free my ***. Lol.

Not when it's own founder is openly socialist and quoted as being such.

Not to mention CNN's more than obvious content which is purely pro-socialist to the max.

Lol, I'm so middle of the road -- honestly, I'm just a libertarian anti-authoritarian bent... I can't stand CNN for the same reason that Breitbart is ****: extremely biased, polarized, and fake journalism.

Based on the position of CNN which pretends to be news on that chart, and Infowars they doesn't even pretend to be news and just mostly airs opinion the whole rest of the chart is crap. (Esp. Infowars, they're "extreme Libertarians" if anything...)

Fox is certainly right leaning as a network, but many of their anchors and reporters are lefties. They also tend to pull in liberals for interviews on contentious subjects, something that CNN would never do.

They're not really as unbalanced as people present...

Anyway, no one on this forum would know a real fascist even if one bit them on the ***. Best to stop talking about such things, it's just a foolish discussion.

Lyndon · Jun 7, 2019

Look at the chart, Breibart is extreme right wing CNN is pretty much mainstream, Fox is much more right than CNN is left also.

Stalin was a fascist draped in Communist attires. Fascism is Right wing while Communism is Left wing. He was a dictator.

Yes. A highly destructive political philosophy passionately embraced by most Democrats prioritizing collectivism over individualism.

The VA hospital system is socialism. Barking ignorance is just so boring.

Do you blame him? He can't come out and say 'wake up and smell the coffee, CNN may as well stand for the Communist News Network!', can he? no.

Reality is all charts of news leanings have CNN leaning left or skewing left
