All these placements are subject to debate.

How do you scientifically measure a topic as fuzzy as bias?

We'll, for starters, CNN has been caught in lie after lie after lie. They lie and they mislead actual facts. I know this because I pay attention and watch. To sit there and even suggest CNN tells the truth is just plain stupid.

When they edited footage of Trump and the Japanese pm feeding Koi so it looked like Trump overfed them like a buffoon.

When Don Lemon said the missing airliner could have been swallowed by a black hole.

When chris Cuomo said it was illegal to read or possess the wikileak dumps except for CNN.

Just off the top.

Trump/Koi — Lol? Who really cares tho?
Lemon — Idiotic, but to be fair, this was a big perplexing mystery for a long time. Sure he wasn’t joking?
Cuomo — Whopper if true

These might be why CNN scores so abysmally low on the accuracy front compared with other mainstream media outlets

Honestly, this chart is pretty critical of CNN I think but you could lower it even further if you wanted I guess

Anything else?

Because they lied to smear Trump as stupid. Duh! You asked for lies.
No. But Lemon's an opinion guy although CNN plays as straight unbiased (LOL) news, unlike MSNBC who admits to bias.
Again, not the biggest thing but it was a lie that they never retracted.

They also have cut off at least 5 people I saw that started talking positively about Trump or that went against their narrative and blamed technical difficulties like 'losing the feed'

Their CEO Zucker also dictates to the anchors their talking points.

The WAPO, NYT and BCC are in laughable positions. MSNBC should at least be level with Fox after Maddow's 2 years of conspiracy theories, if not lower.

The whole chart skews to lefty bias.

Y’all are gonna make me have to do FOX News in a sec when I have time, and it’s not gonna be pretty

Honesty though, all TV news is kinda bullshit, so I might not even waste my time

If you want unbiased reporting, just go to the mainstream “original fact reporting” print sources listed at the top center of this chart.

But there is a place for opinion journalism too. Which I virtually always read in print, and with the grain of salt I always bring to the table when reading opinion pieces.

"Trump/Koi — Lol? Who really cares tho?"

Umm, anyone who still believes journalism she be fair and truthful, no matter what the story is, for starters.

They lied when they backed up Democrats when the Democrats tried to ruin Brett Kavenaugh.

They ran with the story of Jussie Smullett (sp?), believing him about Trump supporters beating him up and putting a noose around his neck. And they still talk about it as if he isn't lying.

Just two examples is all you get for now.

Sheesh, for someone who turned a comment into a pretend joke that swooshed over me noggin into a whole day fest yesterday, it escapes you that my hyperventilating mispellings above were tossing my reply into sarcasmundo territory on max? Or did you truly think those were typos?

Do you require Google Translate to assist you on your pedantic quest for the gist of what I said?

Usually do? Fella, you take this crap far too seriously and personally.

You could argue with the exact placement of a lot of these but it’s a good starting point

CNN is cringey, superficial, and leans a bit to the left, but is not really wrong

They got the Sandmann story wrong and what else exactly?

How about the time they got Anderson Cooper to stand rib-high in a depressed ditch to exaggerate legitimate flood conditions?

One time in PR me and my little cousin were riding on a dirt road snaking through this wooded area on the side of Luquillo Beach. So there's these occasional big puddles and I told him to be careful cuz some might get deeper in the middle, but nope, "It's ok," and straight through he kept going with this big goofy Chesire Cat grin.

Anyways, I got around the edge of a road wide one and warned him yet again. Again, "It's ok" and peddling through he goes and ......... goes............ and........... then............ he starts to slow......... and suddenly his bike halts, and he's trying, but the bike ain't moving - forward that is - until finally it starts tilting sideways and splash into the freshly churned muddy water he goes.

Naturally I stood on the side and laughed while the dumbass had to get up then get his bike out as well.

Lesson learned?

So I thought, till a few years ago he and his famly were visiting here, and I related the story and they start cracking up. They live in Ft Worth now and him and his wife ride trails round there and yup, he STILL does the same thing to the same result! This is decades after!

I've considered the first part of your meme too.. I mean unless you're actually a journalist, you are relying on some form of "news media" to get your information. If you're not a journalist and not relying on the media, you're basing your opinion on a narrative or a feeling.. in which case- you'll never be able to provide any sources without being hypocritical.

If news wasn't biased, I wonder if it would still exist.. Any idea if there is any truth to Trump's repeatedly stated "failing new york times"? I've heard print media is not doing well at all but I'm not sure about the rest. Clicks = money.. if you're not sensationalist / biased it might be hard to compete with others who are. Not saying thats a good thing, just saying it seems possible.
