That took me all of 5 minutes to find and I guess being lazy in complaining about lazy reporting is the ultimate irony?
Politically partisan reporting, not lazy reporting.

That does not speak to whether the bias is present in their organization as a whole to the same degree as other publications you might more readily consider biased.
There are always double standards for journalistic ethics for primetime anchors, it's certainly not a CNN nor even a US only thing, but this one is a bit too egregious to spin, surely ?
I would love to hear the discussions going on on the international side of CNN (which I would argue has fairly high standards to reporting)...
Instead, it seems the best way to get actionable news without the addition of bias from the source, is to get it from the primary source itself.
I've been thinking about building something to accomplish this for a while, a news aggregator that pulls news exclusively from primary sources.
If you think about it, the primary/original source for news in these major categories usually falls in these buckets:
- Business/Financial News: primary sources are company press releases, government regulatory bodies, etc - Political/Local News: generally originates from the websites of government agencies, or that of a particular politician's.
There are of course several other categories of news, but I'd argue these two make up the bulk of what can be considered "actionable news"

Funnily now people call for keeping politics out of it. In politics. This isn't about general media anymore.
