The part where it's not clearly cited as an opinion piece in the headline gives it a deceptive nature and makes it appear not only as factual news but as CNN's official company thought bubble.
There's a reason CNN is fake news.

Yes, but every browser I've opened clearly cites it as an opinion piece. Odd that it's not in yours. What browser did you use?

They changed it once the damage was done.

Nice shilling

So CNN runs an op-ed on how paid family leave is bad *eight days* after Trump releases a budget including it, and you *still* refuse to acknowledge the anti-Trump bias?

Biases and hypocrisy are two separate things.

Sure, CNN has a bias against Trump!

But that doesn't prove hypocrisy. Hypocrisy requires two different people doing the same exact thing and only one receiving more criticism than the other. While, yes... having a bias for, say Biden, and against Trump; and only criticizing one for the same action as the other did, then that would certainly be hypocrisy.

At no point is such a contrast of similar ideas made apparent here. Furthermore, the article on how family leave is bad, which is easy enough to find, doesn't specifically blame Trump for it being bad but rather the policy itself. The criticism stems from similar past government-mandates being ultimately harmful and then goes on to constructively purpose an alternative that doesn't require such a mandate. There is nothing here that even begins to engage in hypocrisy.

Considering how much biased media sells, I don't think you really have a problem with it. Nor would anyone who truly favors such capitalism. On it's face, biased media is more of a pick your own flavor issue. Not inherently wrong that. A very American idea to choose your own media that adheres to your personal political bias. You can prefer Tucker Carlson and someone else can prefer Don Lemon.

If Carlson criticized Biden for something Trump did; then that would be hypocrisy.

If Lemon criticized Trump for something Obama did; then that would be hypocrisy.

If you watch and agree with Tucker Carlson but find CNN repulsive because it is biased; then that would be hypocrisy.

Its also hypocrisy if they do a 180 turn on a belief as soon as their opposition agrees with them.

How is releasing two articles with two different viewpoints by three different people by the same network hypocrisy on CNN’s behalf? Isn’t the news suppose to showcase the occasionally different viewpoint or do you expect CNN to only have the one narrative?

They are contradictory.

Because different people with different views wrote them.

They both work for CNN, so it's actually cnn's hypocritical opinion.

Both of these articles include the following:

Editor's Note: (Heather Boushey is the executive director of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, and former chief economist for Hillary Clinton's transition team. She is also the author of "Finding Time: The Economics of Work-Life Conflict," from Harvard University Press. Katie Bethell is the executive director of Paid Leave for the US, a new national nonpartisan organization dedicated to winning paid family leave for everyone in the United States. The views expressed in this commentary are their own.)

Editor's Note: (Vanessa Brown Calder is a policy analyst at the Cato Institute, where she focuses on social welfare, housing and urban policy. The views expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author. )

And how about this 2014 article. About paid family leave being bad for business.

https://www.cnn.com/2014/06/18/opinion/lerner-paid-family-leave

I guess CNN just can’t make up it’s mind or maybe it allows people with different viewpoints to express their opinion?

There is nothing wrong with not preferring CNN if they’re not catering to your political viewpoint as often as you like but the claims of hypocrisy presented by the meme are grossly exaggerated.
