Id say they have a "liberal" bias, not a left wing one. Take that as you will

CNN supposedly has left wing bias. I've tried to spot it but couldn't. I don't know whether the version I get (CNN international) is the same they get in USA.Comment

Oh, and don't forget the weekly American Idol update, which is on the news immediately after the Idol episode. Blah.The Apolytoner formerly known as Alexander01

CNN has a wonderful axe piece this morning blaming Democrats for earmarks. Luckily, right-wing groups are opposing the practice.Originally posted by VetLegion

Why do people automatically refer to US media as CNN or Fox? Heck these two are zits in comparison to the exposure of ABC, NBC, or CBS."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

The left or right bias of the media is dependant on your left or right bias.
As a righty, I see the media (in general) as extremely left balanced, and they do so on purpose to get the all important tv rating. I also prefer FOX news because they more frequently spin the news the way I like it spun.
I am fairly certian that a lefty would fell almost the same way, only with the lefty/righty bias being switched and they prefer CNN.Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!
