CNN is a hi-gloss machine, but it's extremely well-done. There is a reason why it runs in every hotel room on earth. But I don't have much of a choice, the two US news channels I get on my TV are CNN and CNBC (there used to be Fox News, but that is no longer offered). And remember: Associated Press and Fox News called Arizona days ago, CNN still hasn't (last I looked this afternoon our time). They at least attempt a semblance of neutrality although you always know where they are coming from.
CNBC looks very "handicraft" to me.
I like my news media with some professionalism. That is why I read Germany's leading conservative newspaper (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung or FAZ) and - just like Steve Bannon, if for different reasons - the unashamedly left wing British GUARDIAN as dailies.
I sometimes watch RT for its nay-saying dishonesty it so valiantly tries to camouflage. That is fun.
Afterwards I visit Breitbart for some more humor.
