I used to defend CNN as decent, but it’s almost entirely sensational OpEd talk show type stuff these days. The stuff I criticized FoxNews about. Although, CNN does lean liberal, they sometimes still invite a person from the conservative camp into the discussion. I never see that on FoxNews. They double down and have right and far right takes in their discussions as far as I can tell. It’s effective for brainwashing a populace.

I personally don’t think the 24 hour news cycle is healthy. I pretty much abstain from it except it’s so prevalent in our culture there’s a lot of second hand exposure.
