Sheryl worked with CBS for many years and has now struck out on her own as an independent investigative reporter. Smart lady.

Did you see their page yesterday? Obama was inaugurated yesterday or something.
A former President speaking publicly for the first time since his departure from the WH after a member of the opposite party was elected isn't newsworthy? I was interested in what he had to say. The same as I am W.

The entire page was Obama. I think Bo even got some play from CNN.

Sure. They ONLY thing you could read on the CNN website yesterday was about Obama?

I think I actually read a positive article about Trump's ambitions to land on Mars by his second term? That wasn't CNN?

Dunno. what page was that buried under. I don't dig into CNN. Never will. Top page is where there results come from, and it was all Obama.

I see some of the board red's favorites being waaaaaaay left.

If you remember Sharyl, she worked at CBS investigating Benghazi. She had her computers hacked, confirmed by CBS and an independent forensic firm.

I think this is pretty much spot on. I'd move Fox news more to the center, but since they are gaining their reputation on their opinion shows I'm OK with them being on the Right.

But you'll find more Leftists appearing on those Right leaning Fox shows than most other venues posting as "unbiased" or "neutral".

Have you watched CNN lately? It is all anti-Trump 100% of the time. Even Jake Tapper has gone off the deep end.
Well Trump is pretty much making their headlines for them, hard to put a lipstick on that pig. I assume them reporting this morning that the White House refused the bipartisan request for Flynn documents is anti-Trump or reporting on his false claims about the size of his inaugural or the things he put in his 100 day contract with the American people that he didn't do are anti-Trump also?

Not true. Trump has had some big wins. Gorsuch being the biggest followed by many executive orders rolling back Obama era regs. The bombing of Syria was big as is the confrontation with North Korea and his many, many meetings with world leaders. CNN chooses only to focus on the negative. Part of the unheard of 91% negative coverage. CNN has decided to go far left and compete with MSNBC. They are failing even at that strategy.

Trump's biggest victory was the reversal of the Congressional Reviews (CR's) he signed. The Congressional reviews effectively cut off unwarranted spending increases from agency to agency, and with that one EO, Trump has put a huge dent into some of the runaway costs built into the bloated Federal budget.

I know you folks on the Left don't think he's done anything, but I'm telling you that one was HUGE.
