How to be an Objective Cable News Network

There are many clandestine ways to skew your cable news network to one side of the political spectrum. What stories you choose to cover, how the anchors describe the events, how they moderate, and of course-commentary. Until recently the networks still offered the audience balanced panels. I mean, an audience would be repulsed by competitions of four vs three, or five vs two etc. We all have an inherent sense of fair play. But now, CNN is perfectly content with a five vs one panel, with the moderator helping out… the five.
