        Everyone just needs to focus on figuring out objective truth, rather than relying on someone else to do it for them.

        There’s nothing much wrong with viewing biased sources, in principle, so long as you do so openly and compare them against other sources with a critical eye.

        The bitter truth I was pointing to is that CNN is no longer the antithesis to Fox News. Maybe it was for many people, but they should be aware that the network has been captured and skewed towards a new bias.

        Trying to fill in a gap in the market between Fox News and MSNBC, giving away their credibility to cater to delusional both-siders. The corpse of Wolf Blitzer’s integrity is spinning in its grave with such velocity that a day lasts 20% longer. You might be thinking to yourself, physics doesn’t work like that. Well, yeah, you’re right.

        Yeah exactly, and I forget the details as well lol. But ever since then, back when they first had Trump on a debate on their network with a crowd filled with his supporters, they have been staunchly pro-Trump.

      “I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” he said. Then he suggested a model: “Fox News, in my opinion, has followed an interesting trajectory of trying to have ‘news’ news, I mean some actual journalism, embedded in a program schedule of all opinions.”

      Malone’s comments didn’t resonate much beyond a couple of places: At Fox News, which responded with glee, and inside CNN, where they sounded alarm bells.
