I went to https://www.cnn.com/politics and the article title is right there: "Analysis: Trump takes his war on masks to new lows." The "Analysis" is even in bold font.

> You would have to be incredibly dishonest with yourself to read that article and not conclude that CNN is biased against Trump.

I read it as a non-values neutral piece, and that is not a slant against Trump so much as it's a stance against a pattern of behavior with harmful ramifications for the country's public health. Do you think there's a neutral ground between recklessly endangering public health for political gain versus not doing that?

> But it is foolish to think that private media corporations are unbiased, altruistic arbiters of the complete and objective truth.

I don't know who you're arguing with on this point.
