    CNN has given a Republican her own show.

    S.E. Cupp.

    Juan Williams is used as nothing but a punching bag when starts making a point, they cut him off.

    S.E. Cupp has her own show on CNN.

    Morning Joe is the highest rated show on MSNBC and its hosted by a former Republican House representative.

    What's your point?

    They aren't Trump sycophants. It doesn't count.

    Anyone discussing whether CNN is biased or not has been led astray and is getting distracted from the issue.

    The reporter asked an unbiased non-hack question. The Senator ignored the issue and instead decided to issue a personal attack on the reporter. Whether CNN is biased or not is a separate issue from the fact that this lawmaker was unable to answer the question.

    I will check out the SE Cupp show. Thanks for the heads up. I have seen MJ. I can see where they would have a decently sized audience.

    Maybe they did maybe they didn't. But his question wasn't personal and was based on evidence, and comments of someone close to Trump and his administration.

    The bottom line remains that she was asked a nonpartisan pertinent question and rather than answer, she issued a personal attack on the reporter.

    So this isn't actually a thread on the 2020 election?

    50% of the country voted for Trump, so it seems logical that a balanced network would have someone who supported Trump's views on the network. S.E. Cupp does not.

    As far as balance goes though, independents don;t watch much news, but when they do they watch Fox News more than anything else. So do swing states. This suggests it is the most balanced of the big three.

    No. I don't agree CNN is balanced. I don't think you know who half those people are or you wouldn't have them on your list.

    Curious... are they not republicans? Not conservatives? Why shouldn't they be on "the list"?

    well he's responding to me saying 'half the country supports Trump so you should have some people on who share Trumps views'.

    He then listed quite a few people who obviously don't share trump's views. Either he missed the point of what I said or he doesn't know the views some of those people.
