CNN surrenders, admits liberal bias

Posted on 08/06/2007 10:21:06 PM PDT by mediainsider

Actions speak louder than words. Today, CNN began an advertising campaign on the discredited Web site, Dailykos.com. The campaign targets the site's visitors because CNN is seeking greater penetration with left wing viewers. By target marketing to this segment, CNN is hoping to increase its sagging ratings. Expect more biased coverage from the news network as News Corp's Fox News Channel continues to drub CNN and MSNBC in the ratings, even as News Corp begins building its new cable business news channel. Time to just watch the History Channel, the Disney Channel and ESPN, I guess.

"Time to just watch the History Channel, the Disney Channel and ESPN, I guess." When FNC goes of one of its frequent Anna Nicole Smith or <> coverage binge, that's what I do.

Where is your evidence of this? Are you sure these aren’t just contextual ads served up by an ad network?

Unfortunately for CNN, the Nutroots is a very small segment of the Democratic Party, even if they are getting most of the cash (Much of it from OUTSIDE America)

Remember, these are the people who believe that Ned Lamont “Won” something...

OK. Bad visual. Need ice picks.

The best thing we could do is post one good thread almost daily that gives examples of what KOS is all about. It’s best we not go overboard with hyperbole. Simply provide topics and comments as they appear. Letting folks see who KOS is would deep six the place rather quickly.

The 24/7 coverage on Paris Hilton is what did it for me. No more FNC, CNN or HLN. I’ve discovered other channels and shows due to the news channel’s constant coverage of that twit and I haven’t gone back.

I only tune in to FNC on Sunday to watch the “1/2 hour news hour”. That’s it!

And CNBC advertises on National Review Online. So what?

They’re advertising to their base, not admitting some journalistic bias. They’re putting their name in a place where a large chunk of their viewership will see it.

Great find. A million other eyeballs would write it off for the basic advertising it is.

I think it’s more apt to say it’s the death of the WSJ.

Little Green Footballs posts a kos screed two or three times a week. It is an eye opener to see the depravity and dis connect from reality the so called "Reality Based" community really is. Hatred and profanity are front and center at kos.

don't be too quick....

Murdock might just be positioning himself to have WSJ endorse Hitlery for Prez....didn't Murdock already donate to her campaign....

Good to know, thanks. It is interesting what the crowd sounds like that loves to talk about the angry right in the U.S.
