'CNN’s Jim Sciutto dismissed Bloomberg’s scoop on Susan Rice as “largely ginned up, partly as a distraction from this larger investigation.” However, the journalist failed to mention that he has a connection to the key figure in this story, as he once worked at the State Department during the Obama administration between 2011 and 2013.'

I guess CNN doesn't care about appearances that Jim Sciutto worked for the Obama administration (2011 - 2013) at the same time as Susan Rice.

so much for conflict of intrest

News flash dickweed....all news is partisan, except maybe the weather.

All you have to do watch each network and see all the different spins they put on it.

Susan Rice should be in jail or did nothing wrong, depending on who is reporting.

My point is, it is all spin...or politics.

So the fact is they're all opinionated. The same tool in WTF's tiny toolbox. Here's another WTF fact: all politicians lie, all the time.

The facts usually lie somewhere in the middle. CNN is closer to the middle than either MSNBC or FOX.

But then , I'm biased and think I'm a tad left of center and you're an extreme right wing nutcase.

Who cares?

Going on CNN is just about the closest you can get to going into the witness protection program without actually doing so.

Even when CNN is shown on airport terminal monitors, hardly anyone watches except when there's breaking news such as a fresh terrorist attack or a war. The network is so fucking boring that it should bill itself as an effective sleep aid.

Both Fox and MSNBC probably do not watch it because they think CNN is boring.

Your knee jerk reaction/counter argument is to berate those who demand some semblance of objectivity.

Of course we all have biases. You think everyone but you is naive and throw out this argument to dismiss valid criticism.

It happens on both sides...it is the new age media.

When Trump gets praised by CNN, will he be calling them liars?

It is wtf it is. I'm not saying I'm more 'moral' or above it. Don't Shoot the messenger

But let's get real here. Fox News and MSNBC are pretty fucking boring most of the time as well. The cable news networks are little more than a giant wasteland; a huge time suck. You can uptake at least an order of magnitude more information by reading than by watching all that crap. (Unless, of course, your reading comprehension is about on the level of Munchmasterman's.)

Yep, that just reporting facts is so tedious.
That's why everybody has their faces buried in their phone.
Face book is just so informative, right?
Their news is much less boring than that hour long news cycle.

We're not talking about getting news form Facebook, dumbass. There are plenty of excellent publications and sites from which you can become and remain well informed. But you do need to possess at least a modicum of reading skills.

Too bad. You should have stayed in school.
