CNN Vs FOX news Wikipedia definitions
Not really surprised that the Wikipedia article on "Fox News" refers to it early on as right wing. No mention of any leaning of CNN in the Wikipedia article on CNN as even being a "tad" left wing. \Am I surprised? No. Should it? Yes. Am I surprised? No. Come on people. Wake up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.91.29.158 (talk) 05:45, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- Just because another article has POV bias in it, doesn't mean that this article or any other related article should include such such bias as well. If the Fox News article does indeed include such things, you should practice due diligence and edit that sort of thing right out of that article as soon as possible. This is an encyclopedia, not a political rant/comparison site. Daydreamer302000 (talk) 11:04, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
It is noted that observers feel that FOX leans right. Why is there no mention of CNN or the other major medias leaning left. I am sure there are many observers who feel this to be true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.6.174.165 (talk) 21:30, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
- Create a separate article on the perceived regional political bias of the various American news organizations then? Since this is 'noted', you should have no problem finding references and defending the existence of such an article in the encyclopedia.Daydreamer302000 (talk) 11:04, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
The major media establish is liberal except for Fox News which is centrist but comparably it looks right wing. Statistics bare this out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunnbrian9 (talk • contribs) 04:15, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
suggest revision to early history
The main article History of CNN (1980–2003) was revised to include the significance of satellite capacity.
Suggest Early History be edited: "The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. EST on Sunday June 1, 1980, transmitted using Satcom 1 satellite; a lawsuit secured the replacement transponder after the intended Satcom 3 was lost upon reaching orbit."69.72.27.242 (talk) 11:52, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Crier & Company and CNN & Company should be listed as news debate shows that aired around lunch. I don't know precise years though I believe Crier & Company was the original name for the show. I recall the show definitely existed during the early period of the Clinton administration before the 1994 elections.
Conservative Bias?!?
This article says that CNN has been accused of promoting both conservative and liberal editorializing. I don't think that's correct. I believe that the vast majority of accusations against CNN have been from conservatives accusing it of liberal editorializing. CNN is the opposite of Fox News in this respect, Fox News is biased to the conservative side with all bias accusations coming from liberals, CNN the inverse biased to the left, though perhaps not as much as Fox News is to the right with most accusations coming from conservatives. --99.172.130.196 (talk) 13:43, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Additions to the Controversy section
CNN being called Clinton News Network and Communist News Network have been common attacks that should be noted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dunnbrian9 (talk • contribs) 04:18, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Name calling, even by 'reputable' people, has no place in this article. Daydreamer302000 (talk) 11:07, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Erin Burnett
Hi, I've been trying to find out some information about what's happening – AC will move to 8pm starting tomorrow, but Erin Burnett's new show isn't supposed to go on the air until September. So it is inaccurate to say that her show is on right now at the 7pm slot. Are they just going to do CNN Newsroom filler until they get her show online, or what? (They did this after cancelling Rick's Show but before Parker Spitzer came online.) I can't find anything online. I guess we'll find out tomorrow... hbdragon88 (talk) 03:42, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Confirmed that John King USA currently occupies the 7-8pm slot. I'll find out tomorrow what is in JKUSA's slot &Ndash; is TSR now three hours? (horror) hbdragon88 (talk) 05:12, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
I was looking at videos of 9/11 on youtube.com and I saw one where CNN is interviewing Jamie McIntyre on 9/11. I swear he says very adamantly that there was no plane that crashed into the pentagon. He was standing right there. It didn't look like a fake interview.Mylittlezach (talk) 22:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
