Please show me the evidence that CNN was created in response to a Democratic scandal in order to consolidate their messaging and provide a friendly news outlet. Until then, you're "enlightened centrist" and "both sides bad" narrative reeks of conservative FUD.

John Stewart spend many years talking about how CNN was built for 9/11.

It's there to treat everything as 9/11 and blow every story put of proportion

He was off by at least a decade. It was the television of the first Iraq war that first captured the continuous news media.

So you're admitting that it's not the same and that CNN wasn't created explicitly by Democrats as a response to a scandal in an attempt to control their narrative for decades? Thanks for that.
