With a major nod to Rich Noyes at newsbusters.org, here, in two charts, is Media Research Center (MRC)’s intensive audit of a 19 hour period during just one day at CNN – last Friday, May 12th.
In reading it, please remember that CNN describes itself as a paragon of political neutrality.
First we have the amount of time spent on Donald Trump:
Ok, Trump was pretty much all the news that day. But it doesn’t mean CNN wasn’t neutral toward him, right?
However…
…this second chart shows the distribution of pro and anti-Trump guests during those hours:
Does that look neutral to you?
Other than, possibly, Hillary Clinton’s mother, I doubt anyone could have compiled much less neutral a list than this one.
Anything you want to know about what CNN is these days, and why Donald Trump refers to it as “fake news”, is right there in front of you.
i don’t think we should hold this against cnn, after all they did the same thing to obama. lol
