CNN has truly become a joke, and it's pretty clear now for all to see that the rottenness came from the top. It's amazing to me that they are getting ready to launch a streaming service. Guess that must be their best brand alternative at this point, considering the ratings and scandal. Out of sight, out of mind.
And hopefully, this will bring down CNN International as well. One of the big reasons that the world is so grossly misinformed about the US. Last couple of times I traveled (Greece, Italy and Peru), they and the BBC were the only sources of international news in those countries. Two peas in a pod, for the most part.

Foxnews.com is turning into a tabloid. The sensationalist headlines and stories using walls of Twitter responses to discredit something a looney leftist said is sad. It really used to be a straight up news site, not anymore.
You aren’t kidding about CNN International and BBC. I’ve been stuck in a hotel room for the last four days in Spain and the TV has been turned off almost the entire time.

And oddly enough, CNN.com lately seems to have become (almost) less about editorializing and more about semi-objective reporting, at least the stuff I've read. Maybe they realize that's about all they've got left that might be viable.
CNN.com has gotten better lately. It still has a bunch of entertainment stuff I wouldn't call news, and a bunch of speculative opinions and political horserace crap off to the side (Chris Cilliza is a hack and no one should read his articles) but the news it does have seems to be pitched directly over the plate.
NPR.org also does a decent job with their straight news, but they mix it in with hamhanded articles trying to bring in the latest mixed race transgender asexual Lenape underrepresented person for an interview so they can claim the mantle of diversity and inclusion.

NPR is massively left wing biased under the guise of evenhandedness, IMHO. They are worse by far than CNN. AND partially funded by our tax $, which does grind my gears a bit. CNN at least doesn't hide who they are anymore, and exists on thier own dime.
NPR is as leftist as is gets.

On the radio, in Florida, NPR is about as left as it gets. In terms of news websites, though, NPR.org is pretty middle of the road. It follows the same pattern as CNN.com. It's hard to be suggestive and derogatory in print, while it's very easy in audio. That's why I always try to read my news rather than watch it or listen to it.
There are radio programs that are too far left for NPR. Democracy Now is one.
