CNN and CBS are largely supportive of the American agenda and viewpoint even if they are not partisan cheerleaders for the Republican party. It's rare to see any fundamental criticism of the American system on American telvision. Not everyone shares that American viewpoint, which soon becomes obvious when hearing the news reported from non American sources. Even news reported from close American allies like Canada and Great Britian has a different flavor and viewpoint. Like most large, powerful entities the United States has a very hard time listening to criticism and opposing viewpoints.
