Sheesh... OK, if you think so!

Sure.. you can criticise almost every word that comes out from.. eg any reporter on the ground, and there "may" be biase in his report. It's not really about biase... more about obviously planned propaganda.

It's easy to do an armchair critique of the media in general terms, - the majority of editors and reporters are well-aware and try to do the best job they can with "content" - tho they may have, eg political leanings one way or other.

Oddly.. CNN, for what it is (and sure it gets the flag flying on the set background on occasion), but there are also some reasonable reporting staff employed by them and they manage to get their sound bites out in a near-as-damn balanced way in the time alloted. It's a commercial news org that is struggling to deliver news fewer viewing heads watch - what ya expect between the "feature program" of Viagra and home loan ads?

There is a massive void between biase, - intended or otherwise, and propaganda.
