I’m not saying that CNN goes out of its way to investigate scandals involving left wing individuals or gives airtime to valid stories because it might hurt the liberal agenda, and that is dishonest for sure. However, there’s a huge crazy difference between CNN reporting and OAN or Fox News. They angrily make up things to ensure their conservative viewers stay angry at the left. (This is not a fact, it’s my observation and opinion)

@paul1967 During the Clinton predidency, CNN was All Whitewater, All Monica, All the Time; despite the fact that Whitewater proved to be noting more than a shady land deal in which some of Bill and Hilary's associates had a role, and the Monica Lewinsky affair was completely unconnected to the Paula Jones lawsuit. Her name came up as the result of a fishing expedition by Jones' lawyers into Clinton's private life, a deliberate strategy to find women with whom he had had relationships and then set him up in a perjury trap. There actually was a right-wing conspiracy to undermine the Clinton presidency, and CNN played along because it was great ratings.

What we call "scandals" are generally on two levels: personal or public. If a politician or other prominent figure is involved in a personal scandal, i.e. had an extramarital fling, is outed as gay, whatever, that's generally not of any consequence to their public duties, and we shouldn't care what politicians get up to in their private lives between consenting adults- except when that person is reknowned for touting a high moral standard and criticizing others who have flings, are gay, whatever. Then they're hypocrites, and that's something we should know when evaluating this person as a candidate or spokesman for a cause.
A public scandal, on the other hand, involves malfeasance related to someone's official duties, such as cooking the books or misappropriating funds, flying government jets on personal trips, etc. Those are fair game all day and night.

CNN has covered its fair share of scandals across the spectrum. They've also been suckered into airing conservative conspiracy rubbish in the name of "fairness", thereby getting this stuff out into the mainstream when it rightfully should be left by the side of the road in the dumpster fire where they found it.
