Bias upon starter sentence. edit
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Fox News mentions it's conservativeness in the first sentence, and when searching it up "American conservative news" or something. Nothing is mentioned about CNN being liberal. I feel there is bias here. Does anyone think it should be changed. IEditPolitics (talk) 17:09, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Discussed to death. Read through the archives, the link can be found at the top of this page. Zaathras (talk) 21:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- Best to avoid this battle. The left refuse these labels on any radical leftist media. It's the same for every leftist organization. You won't find one label. However if one leans right, it's mentioned within the first few words. This is the leftist bias of Wikipedia. 2601:18C:9002:3EC0:7CE0:7593:FF8C:C83F (talk) 06:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- @IEditPolitics Beyond the comment of the troll (IP ending with C83F)... I agree with you that there is a lack of isonomy on Wikipedia.
- Searching Google Scholar reveals reliable academic sources concerning the network's liberal bias:

- This is true. Just look at how often the label “far-right” is used versus the scarcity of the label “far-left” by the mainstream media. 2600:1017:B8C1:FE0:E953:2B25:60B1:3555 (talk) 19:52, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

CNN+ memory-holed edit
This thing mentions CNN+, a former Spanish news channel defunct for a decade. But the huge failure that was the CNN+ streaming platform is not even mentioned. 128.107.241.166 (talk) 00:03, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Update the "Carl Azuz" CNN anchor name to become a link to the wikipedia page that's being created for him. Bobbing for apples (talk) 03:02, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- Premature. The article has a sordid history of deletion and recreation, and Draft:Carl Azuz does looks like very unpromising, hagiographic fluff. IF it gets moved to article-space and IF it survives an inevitable deletion nomination and discussion, then it could be linked here. Zaathras (talk) 03:36, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
CNN considers Crimea to be part of Russia? edit
In this article there is a map called "CNN bureau locations" which shows Crimea as being part of Russia.
I believe the only six nations that recognize Crimea as being part of Russia are Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Syria, Afghanistan, and North Korea. Durindaljb (talk) 15:18, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
If Trump was found guilty of rape how come he has not been registered as a sex offender edit
if Trump was found guilty of rape why he has not been registered as a sex offender. 2603:6080:8301:3F2:267D:AB83:9F40:5AF1 (talk) 22:09, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Because it was a civil triaL, not a criminal trial. And this is not relevant to this article. O3000, Ret. (talk) 22:17, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
