At my new job,CNN is on the screen directly in front of me for all 8 hours of my shift.
The other day, after fighting my way through a sudden urge to recycle and vote for Obama, the savior of all mankind, I noticed something rather shrewd about this channel.
Whenever there's a "bi-partisan panel", the Liberal up there has their name - followed by the phrase, "Political Contributer".
Whenever it's a Conservative they get the label, "Republican Strategist".
CNN - You're choice for the most balanced coverage.
