CNN is bias news.
Well the other news groups did the same for Fox in the past. They may all be rivals, but there still part of the journalist brotherhood.CNN really isn't as biased as the right makes it out to be.
Now Fox News on the other hand, eight years of how Obama was the worst president ever and was ruining the country with his terrible plans - now they gush over everything Trump does like a baby taking its first steps, saying its first words, eating its first solid foods. . . . though, again, it's interesting how they have been coming to the rest of the media's defense and even calling Trump out on being unethical in his rude behavior toward them.
True, and again, during Trump's first televised press conference, where he blatantly attacked that reporter for doing his job, even Fox News came to that reporter's defense, on the grounds that he was well within his standards of journalistic professionalism, and that Trump's treatment of him was uncalled for, regardless if he's president or not.Well the other news groups did the same for Fox in the past.

They were among the outlets he actually allowed into the White House yesterday (in addition to Fox and Breitbart).Fox News has a blatant bias, CNN has a bit of a bias. I can't see any bias in ABC, CBS, etc. Don't know why Trump says they have one.
[Again with the Disclaimer because I want to make sure none of this is taken personally. I'm frustrated with the Trump voter mindset in general, but not necessarily individual people.]But just because people may believe bad behavior by President Trump doesn't give the media license to not fact check or check it's sources. The media's willingness to believe the bad behavior is clouding it's ability to report things impartially. That is a major problem. To me, that is a bigger problem than anything I've seen in the last election or since then. The media is to serve as a government watchdog. It's an important role in a democracy. The media should not become part of the political system and it has.
And as far as who really knows what really went on in that conversation? You had two people in the phone call. BOTH denied what the media has reported. And you still doubt?
Thank you! Somebody else gets it.What troubles me most is that Trump reacts rather than thinks.He's a man without humility, thoughtfulness or gravitas. These are not hippy partisan traits. They're the traits of a strong leader.As a fair person, I will admit that Obama many times thought too much before reacting. This is much worse.
