Those of us on our side often view them as rightwing. The Rumpublicans attack them, and call them leftist news.

The simple and sad truth about CNN is that they really are neither. They are all about the clicks, viewers, and ratings. They are borderline tabloid worthy.

Whatever gets the most clicks, most viewers, most attention.. that's what they'll put out there.
