Media Bias Rating
STTPN rating: Lean Left
CNN's political coverage leans heavily on analysis and commentary that is more often critical of Republicans than of Democrats. Its straight news reporting is sourced, but its story choices and framing tilt left.
A rating describes the publication’s overall editorial tendencies in its market, not any individual article, and it is not a judgment of factual accuracy.
