Now, lets see what WaPo thinks are "top stories" today:

• Pope urges Catholic leaders to ‘hear the cry of the little ones’ as Vatican summit on sexual abuse opens
• U.S. allies reject Trump officials’ request to fill military gap in Syria
• Mueller report — and a new political firestorm — may be imminent
• Power Up: Prosecutors say Mueller will tightly hug Justice guidelines in report
• Trump trains his sights on McCabe as the Mueller report looms
• Candidate’s son says he repeatedly warned father of N.C. political operative’s tactics
• The Trump campaign loved NDAs. An ex-staffer wants to nullify them with a class action.
• Coast Guard lieutenant planned a terrorist attack targeting politicians and journalists, court records say
• Pompeo rules out running for open Senate seat in Kansas next year
• Roger Stone due back in court after Instagram post that showed judge in his case

Not quite as loud as CNN, but the tone is still there.

And I thought "gun references" in political stories - see highlighted above - were defacto evidence of hate speech that could inspire violence??

I fail to see your point. First, comparing cable news to the WashPost is apples to oranges. Secondly, nearly everything Trump has done is illegal, unethical, unconstitutional, dishonest, traitorous, incompetent or otherwise debauched, yet you somehow blame news coverage for exposing this profound unfitness for office while you carry his torch while he shrieks "fake news" and "enemy of the people."

Meanwhile, your MAGAMedia outlets endlessly praise your Cheeto Benito and give air time to those who claim that he is divinely inspired and that his political opponents hate America, while promoting ridiculous conspiracy theories to undergird this tripe.

Give it a rest, MAGAMoron.

Every single one of those is a true, legitimate news story. If you want puff pieces about your illustrious Dear Leader, go to Fox News or talk radio.

Meanwhile, all the cable news channels today are providing non-stop coverage of the Jussie Smollett hoax rather than focusing on yet another MAGAMoron's mass murder plot against Democrats and journalists on the very same day that Trump shrieks more Stalinist "enemy of the people" rhetoric and the NYTimes editor warns of the dangers of this heated, vile rhetoric.

Meanwhile, just yesterday your Dear Leader shrieks "enemy of the people" Stalinist rhetoric and another MAGAMoron is arrested for plans to commit mass murder against Trump's political adversaries and journalists (after a Florida guy planned similar mass murders via pipe bombs).

Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks, Whell. You referring to yourself as an “objective person” has me in stitches! Keep up the comedy, we’ll all live long lives. :D

Yep, Whell's objective beliefs likely include that Trump is part of God's plan for the US because Sarah Hillbilly Sanders, that paragon of virtue and truth, said so.

Not surprising....:rolleyes:

The intent was to demonstrate bias. When you compare the leading stories from the various sites to CNN's lead stories, the bias on CNN is easy to spot.

IN WaPo's case, you state every story is legit. I'm not sure I completely agree.

For example of a speculative news item with an editorial spin in the headline: "Mueller report — and a new political firestorm — may be imminent". Is the report imminent? Who knows? Will it create a "political firestorm"? Maybe. Is it a story worthy of front page, leading story treatment? Don't think so, but apparently WaPo and CNN do. Is it a factual story that would demand that the paper write a retraction if it turns out that the facts are wrong? It should, but WaPo / CNN probably won't bother.
