How come my edit was reverted?

I am deeply disappointed in how Wikibias (described Tucker Carlson just yesterday) undid my edit. I tried to establish a fair point of view for both dems and reps. Let's take a look at CNN controversies, Wikipedia somehow reverts my edit that seeks to appeal to both liberals and conservatives. However, it was removed here. How come Wikipedia considered CNN, MSNBC, CBS, PBS, etc. as reliable news but not Fox News (WP:FOXNEWS)?

Now take a look at Fox News controversies where THIS is found upon entry: "Fox News has been described by academics, media figures, political figures, and watchdog groups as being biased in favor of the Republican Party in its news coverage,[1][2][3][4] as perpetuating conservative bias,[5] and as misleading their audience in relation to science, notably climate change.[6][7][8][9]".

How come my edit was taken down, but the above statement wasn't? WP is "neutral"? Tucker Carlson is correct, WP lost it's credibility as a reliable source a long time ago, even Larry Sanger says the same. RepublicanJones1952 (talk) 04:38, 24 July 2021 (UTC)RepublicanJones1952Reply

I think you may run into a problem convincing people that the New York Post is now a reliable source. Even if it is, the source doesn't really discuss CNN's reputation as far as I can tell. Larry Hockett (Talk) 05:10, 24 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
You should check out WP:NPOV. I am disappointed in how Fox News controversies mentions from the beginning about Fox News displaying bias. I wanted to do the same for CNN, it is an indisputable fact that CNN has and probably always will be left-wing. That being said, how come for CNN, Wikipedia does not state it is a left-wing source as the opening but have no problem doing so for Fox News by saying they're a conservative network?

Because a consensus of reliable sources does not so describe it. Wikipedia is based upon reliable sources. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 02:59, 25 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Disputes involving CNN Brazil

edit

I would like to quote here a remarkable case of controversy involving the journalist Alexandre Garcia (journalist). During his participation in the panel "Liberdade de Opinião", where he defended ineffective medicines against COVID-19. Can I add it here or do I need to put it on another page?

Are there no liberal, I mean "reliable" sources that show CNN paid him an undisclosed amount for defamation? Is defaming someone not controversial? 2600:387:A:982:0:0:0:64 (talk) 07:23, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

There are actually reliable sources that cover the settlement:[1][2][3][4] The article from Washington Post also mentions a previous settlement CNN made with Richard Jewell. I think a section on settlements would be fine; the sister article BBC controversies mentions similar issues.LM2000 (talk) 09:10, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
