CNN off the Rails

I had not watched CNN for any length of time since the national election a year ago. Today I watched it for several hours to see if it had improved a little.  Not so.  During that period, there was only one story that did not involve President Trump.  I mean that literally, not figuratively.  CNN is absolutely fixated on the President.  All the stories were negative towards the President, two of them inferring that he was a liar, or a representative lied for him.  That was followed by analysts who talked about the stories that were told, each with a different angle on the lies.

I wonder what has happened to professional standards in journalism.  Journalistic integrity has gone out the window.  CNN no longer pretends to be unbiased .  They no longer want to find the “truth”.  They seem to be bent upon defining it.  It is disgusting.
