Just because CNN began as news operation without an agenda, doesn't mean they haven't become one now.
No, it doesn't. Just the same, they haven't become one. CNN's agenda is exactly the same agenda as every other liberal MSM news outlet, that being they are favorable to liberal ideals and pursuits. That's a bias, not agendized news. CNN doesn't propagandized the liberal agenda the way Fox News propagandizes the Conservative agenda like. I know you want to lay down in aisle 3 and go, "WAAAA WAAAA WAAAA CNN is
JUST AS BAD as Fox News! WAAAA WAAAA WAAAA! Stop picking on my Precious!" But that's just not the reality.
I'm not saying they are a propagandist news operation,
When you say they are "agendized," that's precisely what you are saying.
Fox News exists solely to propagandize the Conservative agenda. That's what they were invented for and is why they still exist. People who belive Fox News isn't agendized are the same people who genuinely belive Fox News is Fair and Balanced.
If Fox News was one, they wouldn't provide the other side in their news. They clearly do.
No they don't. Not in any kind of unimpassioned journalistic fashion. First of all, if they had any journalistic principles there wouldn't be another "side" to present. "Sides" only exist within political opinion. Second, the only time Fox News presents the "other side" is when they do it in bowling pin fashion, in order to knock it down by mocking, derision, or ridicule.
They also wouldn't have Shepherd Smith bashing their supposed chosen candidate on his news show.
You keep bringing up Shepherd Smith as if somehow citing the exception to the rule will somehow prove the rule. One, he doesn't stray from the Conservative agenda very far or very often. He doesn't bash Trump while praising and promoting Hillary. Two, Fox News' chosen candidate was Jeb Bush, and then Marco Rubio as backup. As an organization they have the same split on Trump as does the RNC and the beltway Republican elites.
I don't know if CNN has received marching orders from the DNC,(I don't have access to the WikiLeaks file on them.)but a lot of the time it looks like they do.
Of course it looks like they do. You see a bias from them that doesn't confirm your own bias, therefore since they aren't with you they are against you, and thus they must be on the actual roster of the other team.
The bottom line is Fox News is a propaganda machine and a joke, and the vast majority of the MSM is biased to the point of being absurdly unreliable and untrustworthy. It's pretty sad that if you want to get unbiased, unimpassioned news in this land where the free press and journalistic principles are invented, you need to look at Al Jazeera, RT, and the BBC for news.
But there are those who will continue to get their news from the broadcast networks, MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, The Daily Caller, Hot Air, Breitbart, Huffington Post, WaPo, and the NYT, and think of themselves as well informed, and worse, correct in the opinions they have been fed.
