CNN and Red State both cater content to their specific audiences. That's where any honest comparison of the two outlets begins and ends.
CNN intentionally lies to its audience, Red State does not. CNN's many instances of lying (especially about our President Trump) are well documented. Project Veritas has CNN workers on camera admitting that they not only lied about Trump, but that specifically CAME TO WORK TO CNN because they KNEW CNN lied about Trump, and wanted to help.
CNN is crooked media, Red State is not. You know that, and tried to paint them both as being the same. That's why you got called CNN, because you are doing exactly what they do.
