Iβm going to look for a non-cnn source on that piece
I'm posting your link here instead of having duplicate posts
Axel Springer is arguably worse.
Thanks for that. Most of cnnβs donations go to republicans.
No, their donations are pretty much split 50:50 between republicans and Democrats.
You also can't donate to CNN.
There's some billionaires like Bezos that gave millions to political commenters directly, under the cover of philanthropic efforts, though.
Your statement is false according to my source:
CNN doesn't donate but as your screenshot shows, it's parent company Warner Brothers Discovery.
Here are their tiny political contributions:

Maybe look into AT&T, but I already did and they watch out it's 50:50.
Your screenshot (which I wouldn't count a source without a link) seems to be wrong and way outdated, since it isn't called Time Warner since 2018, but I suppose the data is way older.

Please don't post pictures as sources, especially in a political context. In the same way, don't take picture sources at face value. That's just asking to fall for disinformation.
Here is a direct link to the source
Well, looks like they can't even have a proper date function for their comments and just display some template format. Top quality. lol
CNN is biased, but they don't outright lie when it comes to things like this.
I donβt trust media conglomerates like them
That's Fair.
If they're reporting government officials, they won't even attempt to fuck it up, though. They need to keep their status as a trusted source for the government. So they keep it neutral and factual. There's few better sources for this kind of stuff.
That's why the Diddy-Classy video was sent to them by the feds.
Political commentary, yeah forget it, their commenters are in billionaires pockets.
Don't worry reputable German newspapers and public broadcasting is also reporting this.
