CNN cutting back on over-hyping everything as “breaking news”
They have a long ways to go to earn back my trust. CNN is outright just sensational commentary posing to be news. The broadcast outlets don’t focus on commentary, but the selective coverage and specific questions in interviews peak their obvious agenda. Then you have Fox News, who is unashamedly doing the same thing on the right.<p>The pandering to selective political ideologies and pushing particular agendas is pervasive across the American media landscape. I don’t know if it’s better in other countries.<p>I do think think social media gets a lot of criticism and disdain from these outlets, and sure I’m not a fan of FB or Twitter. But traditional American news media in my mind has been stirring this pot for decades, and they seem to get a pass. We talk about breaking up FB, but these American news outlets seem to get a pass.
