Investigation of motives should always be the priority of any media company when it comes to reporting the real story. CNN is a corporate media company and there are protests against corporate rule. It is your duty as a media company to find out why these protesters are against corporate rule and biased news reporting on the part of corporate media companies. Fairness should never be compromised, a lesson learned from the days of YELLOW JOURNALISM. I will keep watching CNN for reliable breaking news coverage.
