If I hadn’t seen the headline, as above, the lede sentence would have set me up for a take-down of CNN, unless I also realized she works for CNN:
If Jonestown had had a television network, it might have aired something like this.
Instead, she pities the poor journos, forced to do as the boss says.
Another view is that she “parroted the CNN company line by condemning Sinclair Broadcast Group as nothing more than state-owned propaganda.”
Cupp talked this up on CNN, basically blaming Sinclair for giving conservatives favorable (fair? not?) treatment and covering more conservative issues. But make it CNN doing this for liberal issues, and you have a match.
Later: While we’re on the subject, take note, please that deciding what’s news and what isn’t is key to the bias debate. If every story is accurate, it’s still a story the editors (writers too in most cases) picked. There’s the rub, my friends.
