CNN may be left leaning in its coverage but it isn't on the same galaxy of dishonesty as Fox News is.

CNN is just as dishonest in that they simply omit covering some news.
For instance, the incident in Afghanistan where an American fighter jet bombed and killed some Canadian forces on the ground.
Yes, when it came doown to the trial of the American pilots, CNN provided coverage, but the original incident was basically omitted.
I was talking about this with some American friends and they basically told me they did not think the incident happened and would check for themselves. They did confirm with me after, that yes, they had found info about the initial bombing, that it did happen, but had basically received no coverage.
