    There's many independent analysis available, showing Fox skews much further to the right than CNN is to the left.

    One perspective could say that CNN is biased for Biden; another could say that CNN is biased towards unbiased journalism. I'd say both are correct in a sense. It's obvious Fox is trying to discredit Biden early, which clearly goes against the moral standards of journalism. At the same time, CNN knows Biden is probably the Dem's best shot at beating Trump in 2020, which they want to see, so they'll push out 'news' to discredit any discredits towards him.

    Sorry - 'biased towards pointing out unbiased journalism'. Thanks for pointing out the typo, it was nonsensical.

    :) It's still a contradiction in terms. Biased is biased.

    Yes, CNN is a terrible news organization. They aren't even good at delivering their biased slants. I'm sure they must have some good professionals working for them somewhere, but they don't produce a good product. I won't bother to trot out a whataboutism or other defense on their behalf. They're trailblazers for what is wrong with American media.

    I’ve worked so hard in my career, that I promise you, if I’m elected president you’re gonna see the single most important thing that changes America, we’re gonna cure cancer,” Biden told a crowd in Ottumwa, Iowa on Tuesday.





    I guess he has the vote of John McCain's corpse.

    I'm assuming that's a rhetorical question to him. The interesting questions are whether he knew what that outlet was, and what source put that link under his nose.

    It's just more bad judgement and that's light compared to his recent Cure Cancer talk. Dude is the gaff master.

    Why don't you trust that particular propaganda outlet? It's just as trustworthy as those other Propaganda outlets and is reporting the same things about this story. Mainly a widely reported quote. So let's talk about the quote cause this is a thread about Biden. Tell me your thoughts on Biden's claims that he'll cure cancer if elected president. I would love your take.

    Oh I knew.... I chose it from a list of search results because I thought posting RT might be fun. I wasn't let dow

    So tell me, how does RT's bias affect the accuracy of this quote?

    More improtantly, let's talk about Biden. Do you think this claim of curing cancer will affect his chances? Or do you think he even can follow up on that? Or is it taking advantage of people affected by this disease?

    It's actually not widely reported the only widely read sites that are reporting it are business week and slate has an opinion piece.

    Everybody else are heavily biased right wing sites like brietbart.

    USA Today... The Independent.... Yahoo News... HuffPost... and I think Business Insider too... and there are others. Gee so right wing. Not like it didn't get around and no one cares what stupid trite pandering crap the front runner says.

    LOL at the right-wing Trumpsters calling Biden a gaffe machine.
