Over the years, it has tried to field those not in that particular mindset to maintain a sense of balance. But balance was never there. In recent years, as CNN attempted to work with those who are more open critics of generally accepted liberal dogmas, the Left Wing audience bolted and threatened to boycott CNN once and for all. So after such luminaries as Lou <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Dobbs<\/span> were dispatched, and the leash let loose on hosts like Anderson Cooper, <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">CNN\u2019s<\/span> own leftward lurch continues to be obvious. From Christiane <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Amanpour\u2019s<\/span> famous \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/God\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>God\u2019s Warriors<\/em><\/a>\u201d special (you know, where she examined such murderous radicals as Islamic terrorists, violent Zionists, and Christians who taught abstinence and tried to influence politics (a real insight into the secular liberal mindset)), to Anderson Cooper\u2019s recent attempts to suggest its time to end this tolerance for people who refuse to celebrate homosexuality (including guests willing to take it to the legal limit), it\u2019s almost impossible to miss it\u2019s post-American leftist tendencies. When <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Fareed<\/span> <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Zakaria<\/span> interviews the Prime Minister of Malaysia, and allows him to get away with saying Islam is about peace and can never be associated with violence, you know objectivity is out the window. Imagine Mr. <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_7\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Zakaria<\/span> letting someone say Christianity is about peace and therefore cannot be associated with violence at anytime throughout its history! Yes, <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_8\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">CNN\u2019s<\/span> bias is a little larger than American Conservatism vs. American Liberalism.
