text: CNN and its simple-minded and quite condescending new commercial may not be the best examples to start such an article with. What is remarkable about CNN these days is just how little it actually covers the news, overall. It is hard to find any news anymore on CNN not just about the rest of the world, but also about most of the U.S. I can't recall a real news program on CNN anymore, where news from around the world are reported impartially and factually. What we get instead on CNN, as far as I can tell, is a bunch of "media personalities", each with his or her own show, who follow each other and have their own talk shows, essentially. Generally, I find these shows to be biased to the point where no attempt seems to be made to even appear to strive for balanced and objective coverage of the issues. Guests seem to be selected mainly to agree with the host and each other, and the occasional guest who disagrees with the rest is there to be yelled at, ridiculed or rudely interrupted.
