> If fact checking were a thing CNN wouldn't have been used as an example of "left-leaning" media. CNN is fairly mainstream, which isn't to say their reporting lately isn't garbage.

CNN is left leaning but that is not the source of my gripe with them. I don't like the "hair is on fire" 24/7 style reporting they do, and I find that their quality work gets lost in a mess of exactly that kind of "everything is fucked and we're all going to die" style of reporting.

There are plenty of what people would call left leaning orgs out there that do excellent work. CNN is not among them IMHO.
