CNN is now the American version of Pravda during the Soviet heydays.
They don't even try to be honest anymore.
When are they going to file with the FEC for in-kind contributions to the DNC?
Add MSNBC to that list. These are now full 24 hour propaganda channels. News or truth has very little to do with it. They all but admit it. They are not ashamed of what they are doing at all.
These channels are part of the Leftist religious cult. Since they are acting on behalf of their religion they are on a Holy Mission. Therefore anything they do is justified by their God. Laws, rules, truth, credibility, etc., does not apply to them. They are above all this. Their 'holy mission' is more important to them than anything else on Earth.
