CNN Parent Company CEO Argues Network Needs ‘Both Sides of Every Issue’ Day After Amanpour Slammed ‘Bothsidesism’
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav told the MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in New York on Thursday that CNN needs “to show both sides of every issue” in order to rebrand from a “left-leaning” network...Amanpour offered a concrete example of when telling both sides of a story is not always warranted in her view, arguing that journalists roundly report Ukraine “is the victim of a Russian imperialist illegal aggression” and do not give equal weight to the Russian view of the war.


So, if bothsidesism is CNN's new norm, when do we watch interviews with mass murderers, insurrectionists and pedophiles...oh wait, CNN already interviewed Trump.
