Arguing that news outlets have a bias does not mean they are 100% biased. You will find examples of articles and segments against Harris on CNN, you will also find articles and segments against Trump on Fox News. It isn't the norm though.

The most telling for me is generally the photos picked by a news outlet. On CNN for example, photos of Harris (and Biden) are almost always picked to show them in a favorable light. They'll be shot standing at a podium with an American flag behind them and a big, natural looking smile on their face. Photos of Trump are from off angles with an angry look on his face, often taken mid speech where a face will look more contorted than when smiling.

Are news outlets 100% biased mouthpieces pieces? Of course not. But they have a strong bias towards one party or the other and they don't try very hard to hide it.

Saying stuff this obvious to debunk it's like AI skeptics saying "AI can't solve X" when it's literally trivial to try their query and then the AI system straight up just solves it.

Let's look at some recent CNN photos of each of them!

Two issues with you trying to debunk me here.

First, part of my claim is that you absolutely can find examples where CNN puts Harris or Biden in a bad light. To properly debunk me you would need an analysis of how frequently they show either party candidate in a good vs. bad light.

Second, and more importantly, you're trying to debunk what I clearly stated as my experience of viewing CNN. I didn't claim it to be a universal truth, only a pattern I have noticed when I have taken the time to browse CNN's site.

Debunking is useful when someone is proposing an argument as a scientific, or logically based, argument. Its pretty useless when the statement is only based on personal, anecdotal experience.
