Just the same as Fox, just the same as OAN, just the same as RT, just the same as MSNBC, just the same as ...

Some of these are way worse than others, they're not at all comparable.
I read all of these occasionally except OAN and I have no idea which one you are talking about.

They are all garbage and you can't believe what they write, though they may be useful sources.

They're comparable, but not equivalent.
Let's not change the subject with some whatabout-ism. We are talking about CNN.
It isn't "whataboutyou" ism to point out that essentially the entire news industry has become little more than fear-mongering clickbait (on one hand) or propaganda for one of the two political parties of the U.S (on the other hand).

CNN is just a symptom of a much larger problem and it's that much larger problem which needs to be addressed -which will continue until it is addressed.
