Bias upon starter sentence.
editThe 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
editThis 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?
editIn 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)

The "Big five" mainstream media conglomerates are primarily owned and run by five Zionists, four of them Jewish, Rupert Murdoch (Fox), Brian L. Roberts (Comcast), Bob Iger (Disney), David Zaslav (Warner), and Shari Redstone (Paramount), leading to the "homogenization of viewpoints presented to news consumers." 67.173.188.255 (talk) 14:28, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think the first two articles could be a useful inclusion. However, as for your statements:
Jews overrepresented in top positions, Jewish ownership/control, The "Big five" mainstream media conglomerates are primarily owned and run by five Zionists, four of them Jewish,....
I see nothing in those articles that even mentions Jews. Unless I'm missing something, I suggest you strike these comments as they appear ro be WP:SYNTH and, frankly speaking, antisemitic. O3000, Ret. (talk) 14:46, 27 July 2024 (UTC) - I don't know about the others, but Bob Iger does not own Disney. He will remain CEO until his contract expires in 2026. Rupert Murdoch retired back in 2023, and he has been replaced by Lachlan Murdoch. Dimadick (talk) 21:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
