    I’m going to look for a non-cnn source on that piece

        Thanks for that. Most of cnn’s donations go to republicans.

          No, their donations are pretty much split 50:50 between republicans and Democrats.

          You also can’t donate to CNN.

          There’s some billionaires like Bezos that gave millions to political commenters directly, under the cover of philanthropic efforts, though.

      CNN is biased, but they don’t outright lie when it comes to things like this.

          That’s Fair.

          If they’re reporting government officials, they won’t even attempt to fuck it up, though. They need to keep their status as a trusted source for the government. So they keep it neutral and factual. There’s few better sources for this kind of stuff.

          That’s why the Diddy-Classy video was sent to them by the feds.

          Political commentary, yeah forget it, their commenters are in billionaires pockets.
