CNN

CNN is widely derided on the right for a perceived left-wing bias that has led some to refer to it as the Clinton News Network. North Korea, on the other hand, accuses them of being shills for the Bush Administration:
Angered by the broadcast of a secretly filmed public execution inside North Korea, the Stalinist state has accused the U.S.-based CNN television network of promoting Washington's "regime change" agenda.
:
Pyongyang also hinted at banning the network from future visits.
:
"We have allowed CNN in our country for news coverage several times and guaranteed the necessary conditions, but with the incident CNN has dug its own grave," North Korea's official KCNA mouthpiece charged in a weekend commentary.
:
"[CNN] aired a videotape which seriously misrepresented the independent and fair and aboveboard measures taken by the DPRK for enforcing laws, without confirming their truth," it said.
:
...The commentary lashed out at the network, calling it a "reptile" and a "trumpeter" for the U.S. administration.
Tough crowd.
