True, "Liberal" would be too far to the Right! - Turner Broadcasting CEO: CNN 'Not a Liberal News Network'

Let us see what is typically on CCN:
"... turn on CNN right now -- this very second -- and what he'll see is what I've been seeing for over a week now: a network on a pro-same sex marriage crusade that gives zero time to anyone credible or thoughtful on the other side of the argument.When it comes to gay marriage, there is no difference between CNN and MSNBC.
Kent should tune into CNN during any hour of "Piers Morgan Live," because what he would see is a leftist demagogue feasting off a terrible tragedy and accusing anyone who stands for Second Amendment civil rights of hating children and being pro-murder."

Turner Broadcasting CEO: CNN 'Not a Liberal News Network'
 26 Mar 2013, 


In an interview this week with Broadcasting and Cable, Turner Broadcasting CEO, Phil Kent, talked at length about the future of CNN and what he expects from Jeff Zucker, the new CNN president. What's unsettling about the Kent interview, though, is that Kent doesn't appear to watch his own network. How else to explain this:

What’s the biggest misconception about CNN?
That it’s a liberal news network. It drives me crazy. It’s not.
So how do you change that?
I think [if] people watch it more critically and not just listen to what other people say about it-I won’t mention names-they’ll see that it [isn't], and I think one of the things we fix is make sure we have the right balance of voices on CNN. That we have good conservatives, good liberals, experts in all areas. It’s a serious news network.
