Here is an OPINION piece, that I found interesting:

QuoteIn addition to providing short propaganda bites under the guise of information, the "fresh pickings" of Bret Baier's "Grapevine" are also a shout out to the right wing. Wednesday night's (February 18th) "Grapevine" was a double shot for their target audience. In addition to providing affirmation for those who are upset about the gay community's boycott of those businesses who supported Prop 8, an issue that Bill O'Reilly reinforced in one of his many homophobic screeds, it also provided an example, to the target audience, of why they hate Bill Clinton. Surprisingly, the data was sourced. If the source was any indication of the target audience, it's pretty clear that they're sitting on the far right side of the aisle.

I really don't see how you can see CNN as anything to do with Christians. They are a liberal, socialistic station. That is evident in their reporting.

Really?  You might be right.  They do seem to have chilled on the push of religion, but at one time they were constantly pushing some faith-based bullshit story and I mean just about every segment, every day; Faith in America, Faith in Politics; Faith in Faith, etc, etc, etc.

Now, if you only know CNN from what you got from Fux Noise, then we probably don't have much more to talk about.  I prefer MSNBC and Bill Maher for in depth reporting...
