This is CNN? Primetime shows filled with liberal opinion, not straight news as network claims

CNN touts its primetime lineup as being straight, just-the-facts news, but anyone tuning in to the network’s evening programming can expect a heavy dose of liberal opinion, as “Anderson Cooper 360,†“CNN Tonight†and “Cuomo Prime Time†don't always align with founder Ted Turner's bare bones, objective approach to journalism.
"Anderson Cooper is a mix of news and opinion, but Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo are obviously heavy on opinion and use the news as a launching pad for those opinions," Cornell University Law Professor William Jacobson told Fox News. "There's nothing inherently wrong with that, so long as they are not mischaracterized as part of the news operation."

DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall told Fox News that CNN’s primetime shows “are not straightforward news shows in the traditional sense of objective journalism,†pointing out that the opinions of the hosts are often very bluntly presented.
