Is CNN biased in its coverage?

CNN has been criticized for biased coverage, particularly showing a slant against conservative viewpoints. Ben Shapiro argues that CNN often masquerades as an objective news outlet while exhibiting a clear anti-conservative bias. He discusses instances where CNN has had to retract stories due to inaccuracies and criticizes the network for not adequately separating news reporting from opinion, suggesting that the network caters to a specific audience rather than maintaining journalistic neutrality 1 2.

Additionally, both Shapiro and discussions on different shows highlight that while all journalists may have biases, some networks like CNN are perceived as more biased due to their presentation and choice of stories. This notion suggests an inherent challenge in consuming news from sources perceived as biased, emphasizing the importance for viewers to distinguish between news and opinion 1 3.
