There is not enough balance on CNN and the EUropean version is even more extreme in showing their politics in the news coverage. Special Interest stories do not favor those whom they do not agree with politically. Yet CNN is popular in many European countries as the news channel of the US. In my opinion it is not an accurate portrayal. Ammanpour did a special on religion a few years ago that compared extremists of all 3 religions. She tried very hard to make moral equivalencies between Christian 'extremists, Jewish settler 'extremists' and Muslim 'extremists. As far as I am aware, the latter 'extremists' are the only ones who feel the religious need to kill people in the name of their God.
