Yeah, remember when CNN threatened to dox someone? Remember, this is the network with Chris Cuomo, who was allowed to interview his own brother, giving him softball questions. The network where Chris Cuomo faked part of his Covid-19 quarantine. The network that was talking about peaceful protests while showing flames from the riot in the background.

CNN is the lowest of the low. At this point, it's simply Weekly World News with a thin veneer of fake respectability based on past accomplishments. I think people are remembering what it used to be and not what it has become. I think many media outlets are coasting on previous reputations since most people do not read most of their news from a single source. So you might not notice the bad CNN stories, if you only see the few stories that are mostly okay. But those stories are definitely becoming fewer and fewer.

I think this is a problem on both sides of the fence, this is the second coming of yellow journalism. I hope it doesn't last too much longer, because it's so hard to sift through biased stories and figure out what is fact and what is opinion.

Remember when OAN tried to help overthrow the government and trample on the Constitution by reporting completely unverified lies that our election had been stolen?

You picked out a few examples. OAN could beat that in an hour. They are still reporting that the last election was stolen and that there was massive voter fraud. They spent months reporting that Dominion voting systems stole the election by "switching votes" with their "algorithms" controlled from Spain or whatever. If it wasn't for the ongoing Billion dollar lawsuit from Dominion, they still would be. Their fact checking is so non-existent they have have had multiple guests on that turned out to just be trolls that aren't even who they say they were.
