Hmmm...like most? The documentaries, but the delicious Anderson Cooper is a close second!
Dislike most? I don't usually stick around long enough to analyze it. I usually use the power of the remote instead!
Just my two cents!

Well I can't believe noone has brought it up - the irritating commercials!
They really are the pits. And so frequent!
You grab the remote and in my case watch a couple of channels that are adjacent. Then you go back and next thing you know - more commercials. Here in Europe they really are abhorrent for the most part, content-wise. You get desert sc**b*g states extolling their virtues, the tourist boards of places you've never heard of inviting you to go there and so on. They repeat them mercilessly too, the same crap over and over!

Btw it's easy to say switch it off, but it's the only English-language news channel I get!

I thought the one about India was quite good..... the first time - if I hear that bit with 'Incredible India' again I think I'll go find that woman walking down a sand dune as camels are going up same dune and say:
'Incredible India?'
'Excuse me!' -
then shoot her!
Some adverts are excellent, but should NOT be repeated ad infinitum.......

Was in Germany recently and did the coach potato thing a bit - watching the US general election run-up on both Sky news and CNN......... both drove me nuts in the end, then I found Deutsche Vella did a bit in English and it was just so different and refreshing in comparison to the same stuff repeated and repeated and repeated.

They're excessively biased. Which most are. The Campbell Browne "no bias-no bull" program is so freakin biased...
I do like Lou Dobbs...I see him as objective/independent thinker.

It is no longer a news organization. It is all about opinions, not news. What happened to "all news..all the time"? I don't care what a commentator thinks. Give me the news!

Ted Turner founded CNN. There are things I admire about him and things I more or less loathe about him.
Get it now?
