CNN launched in 1980. The Gulf war was in 1990. Larry King Live premiered on CNN in 1985.

CNN has long been a mix of news and opinion, like all news media ever. That’s why media exists: to push facts and interpretations of those facts.

Media is not a charity: William Randolph Hearst and Ted Turner want something for their money: they want to control the narrative.

It has always been blatant: you just haven’t been paying attention. Hearst started a war! He was such a reviled figure that one of the greatest movies ever made was made to dunk on him.
