Let's Be Honest...

I came across a friend's blog (which hadn't been updated since early 2009) that had a list of links.  One of the links read as follows: "People Who Are Openly Biased."  Curious as to where this link lead, I clicked on it and was led to CNN's website. 


This struck me as odd for a number of reasons.  1) It was CNN.  I'm surprised they're still relevant.  2)CNN has such a wide assortment of hosts and contributors that it is near impossible for the network to have a prevailing bias.  3) Labeling CNN as "Openly Biased" is just plain stupid.  If there is an open bias at CNN that is still better than the obvious but denied bias (and bigotry) found at Fox News.  Remember, Fox News maintains that they're "Fair and Balanced," an Orwellian mantra if there ever was one.  


Assuming that CNN is an openly biased network, then it is still a more honest and genuine source of news when compared to a network like Fox News, that is obviously biased and persists to masquerade under the pretense of being "fair and balanced."
