Interesting to see that Baboon-ou's favourite source Breitbart is regarded as "nonsense that is damaging to public discourse".


Also interesting to see that CNN's very slight lean to the left is nowhere near as extreme as the alt-right Trumpanzees try to make out and at least it's regarded as a fair interpretation of the news while Fox News is Extreme/Unfair interpretation of the news bordering on Nonsense.


Let's have less scorn for the typical MSM targets like the Washington Post and CNN and less respect for the fairytales that fake news outlets like Breitbart and Fox News spew out.

I am not so sure about CNN - to my mind they are not providing fake news - but they are very left-leaning and definitely not "slight lean to the left".   The other media in the same category is The Guardian - the mouthpiece of the Labour Party in England - the Gaurdian is definitely seriously leftist,     

They have become the mouthpiece of the Democratic leftist members,

Ou maaaikie you are so clueless. CNN and the Guardian are Globalist propaganda outlets. CNN is VERY fake news.

Anybody not seeing that is as dumb as a rock!

Poor Baboon-ou. I actually feel genuinely sorry for someone who is so technically challenged, so unimaginative and so helpless that he doesn't even know how to use the horizontal scroll bar.

Ou Maaik, as per the graph, CNN has a very slight left lean. 
Before you call the graph rubbish, at least go to the link they provide where they explain their methodology and usage info. If you still disagree then explain why. Don't just tell me the graph is wrong and you're right.

Rooinek

I watch CNN quite regularly and I do not doubt my statement that they are extremely leftist in what they produce.   They have attacked conservative senators like Cruz. and  Rubio all out even though they are not part of the Trump executive.

There reporting on the French problems are also extremely one-sided with them claiming falsely that the workers  are incited by the rightwing parties and not mentioning anything about the leftist one which is really full time involved.   

I do not need to read the assessment. I can see with my own eyes what they are trying to achieve.   A mouthpiece of a leftist like the Labour Party under the leadership of a Communist sympathizer says enough about them, as well.

A tree is measured by it's fruit. Fruit looks legit, but how can we be sure? Rooi wants to believe it, because it suits his agenda, but these things are way more complicated than yes/no....too much subjectivity to be really empirical.

Actually, it's quite a sophisticated and credible system they use if you bother to actually read about it instead of just yapping ignorantly about something you know nothing about.

Total nonsense. There are several major Fox figures who are anti the current administration, like Shepherd Smith. I can't think of one person on CNN that is pro the administration. Nor is the Economist right leaning, it's clearly left leaning. More to the point who do viewers trust: 'A new Gallup/Knight study on the media has found that Fox News is the most trusted news source among those surveyed. Fox News, which has dominated the cable news ratings for more than 15 years, was rated the most trusted news source by 24 percent of respondents. CNN was a distant second at 13 percent with BBC in third place at 10 percent. MSNBC–a network loved by liberals–lagged far behind at 4 percent.'

I did read it rooi and what they say they are doing and what they are actually doing is not necessarily the same thing. 

It sounds too subjective and untill one sees how they actually scores an article it is pure propaganda, wrapped in Christmas paper to fool the gullible...that's why I asked what in particular impressed you, for incase I missed something.
