[edit]- Thread retitled from
CNN is obviously a liberal media outlet
. WP:TALKHEADPOV O3000, Ret. (talk) 18:40, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
Why does the leading sentence of Fox News say "The Fox News Channel (FNC), commonly known as Fox News, is an American multinational conservative news and political commentary television channel and website based in New York City." but this one doesn't say liberal for CNN? CNN is obviously a liberal biased news outlet. Yusuf Michael (talk) 00:27, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
- CNN is only liberal in comparison. They're rather conservative by international standards. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:32, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
- CNN has Republicans on for hours every day. O3000, Ret. (talk) 00:43, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
- Correct. CNN is very liberal. To the point that they've been sued multiple times over the years for repeating false propaganda from "unnamed sources". ~2025-42603-49 (talk) 16:01, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
- We need to put "liberal" in the lead section Yusuf Michael (talk) 06:27, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- Not necessary. Fox News makes no attempt to have balanced coverage. Their primetime lineup appears as speakers and advocates at conservative political events in ways that no CNN anchor would be allowed to. CNN and Fox have dramatically different standards as to their coverage. Despite what American conservative politicians claim, CNN is not a liberal media outlet in the way that Fox is a conservative media outlet. If you want to include such a contentious statement, you should start an RfC on that topic. Since you have only found one anon who has backed up your position and there are four editors who have disagreed (myself, @Roxy the dog, @Headbomb, @Objective3000), this proposed change should not be implemented. I'm tagging in the other editors to assist them in keeping an eye out here. Bill Heller (talk) 18:19, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
Map of bureaus
[edit]The map shows Crimea as part of Russia which is an internationally recognized part of Ukraine. ~2026-25448-4 (talk) 21:11, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- Are you referring to the red blip under Ukraine's location in File:CNN bureau location map.svg? That color is probably referring to where CNN has a bureau—it is not asserting that the location is Russian. Johnuniq (talk) 23:38, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
- Pretty sure CNN doesn't have a location in Crimea, so yeah that's pretty much what the map is saying, that Crimea is Russian. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:58, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- CNN has a bureau in Kyiv and a presence in Crimea. O3000, Ret. (talk) 12:35, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
- Pretty sure CNN doesn't have a location in Crimea, so yeah that's pretty much what the map is saying, that Crimea is Russian. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:58, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Paramount acquisition
[edit]Did Paramount now owns CNN? That should be in the article. Wekknd (talk) 21:04, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
CNN hosts Netenyahu
[edit]CNN hosted Netenyahu the other day. This is a major divergence from its left-leaning journalistic viewpoint and should be mentioned in the article since it is a significant event. ~2026-39066-88 (talk) 12:08, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
- You have provided no reliable source that indicates this is a significant event. CNN regularly features right-wing and conservative guests. O3000, Ret. (talk) 12:19, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
