They failed both times.
As far as CNN is concerned...yes, they are liberal. Much the same way Fox is a right wing propaganda machine.

Now you are calling me sensitive, that is an insult. When you imply I am in a cult you are labeling me as supporting things I do not. That seems to be a game I see often on another form I belong to. Agreeing with Trump on the part of the Republican platform he aligns with does not make someone a Trump Cult Member as lefties like to label people.
My best example of most of the main stream media being liberal propaganda machines was how the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was covered. I had a friend who actually thought Rittenhouse shot black people as he was constantly referred to as a white supremacist and my friend was not alone. CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, etc all had the guy guilty. Any one that watched unbiased Court TV wondered why he was tried in the first place. The prosecution even called witnesses that proved Rittenhouse was acting in self defense.
Fox News is right wing but I don't consider them propaganda because I don't consider much of what I have seen broadcast as misleading or lying. Most of the news I see from them is local or Tucker Carlson.
I do watch PBS, quite often, but two things will get me to change the channel on a program, constantly saying "climate change" and bringing up race and sexual orientation.

'Sensitive' is an insult?
Grow a pair for Chrissakes. What's the matter with 'sensitive'? Is that an affront to your masculinity?
You remind me of another poster who got bent out of shape when I called him 'pal' or 'buddy'. Hint: he was right by your side in a recent thread - the both of you getting chastised by Mike.
Your last sentence (partly in bold) are two things you've been quite obsessed with lately. I'm not surprised you turn the channel when those topics arise. You've been on a 2-3 week posting tirade about both of those topics.

If you want to call me obsessed so be it, I have been "obsessed" about those topics for decades, long before identity politics were talked about. Identity politics are divisive. This overly PC crap is a joke. A person who notices differences between races, ethnicities or what you like to call them is driven into the ground as a racist. Of course getting driven into the ground only happens if you are white. Why do you bring up me and another member being chastised by the person who owns this sand box? I am sure both of us are shocked by his views, the demeaning attack from nowhere, but basically don't give a crap. I will still insist he made incorrect assumptions about me and there is more to the story on his side.

Good Lord man.
Our interaction in this thread began when you disagreed with my opinion that PBS is the best station on TV.
Now you've moved on to Kyle Rittenhouse, CNN, the mainstream media, race, and homosexuals.
'Obsessed' is a start, but it doesn't even begin to describe you.
Now go ahead and have the last word - I'm done engaging in this nonsense with you.

Ah PBS.
I often watch the old reruns of Midsomer Murders, Doc Martin and those train rides thru the Canadian Rockies, not to mention America Test Kitchen, Milk Street and 'Confucius Was A Foodie".
I even sit through those 1950s-60s Musical Memories fund raisers periodically. My late uncle once was a promoter and manager for some of those old Jersey doo wop music groups and that greatly adds to my enjoyment.
But that's about it when it comes to any interest of PBS.
PBS does have a far liberal bent in their documentaries, news reportage and especially, the "public" service/special interest shows. Deny that all you wish, lefties, it is true.

How would you know if it is stuff you would never investigate?

Because if it was on PBS, it had to be true: Ipso facto derelicto.

It's possible that sly ol' 46zilzal wasn't really talking about some liberal TV station.
As a once well-regarded Sartinista, zilly really wanted to discuss PBS speed figures- Pizzolla, Bradshaw, Sartin.
