1. CNN's parent company is AT&T, which has something like 12 billion dollars in defense contracts. Of course they will be hawkish.
2. This is the network that uninvited Tulsi Gabbard from the presidential debates even though others who were no higher in the polls were invited.
3. After another debate with Second Tier candidates, one that included Gabbard, the after-debate analysis by CNN addressed the positions of every candidate EXCEPT Gabbard.
Bottom line: it is no surprise when CNN gives warmongers free publicity and silences peace candidates. Their bottom line is riding on it.
