Really? Robert Mueller? Really? (Insert Exaggerated Sarcasm)

Today, CNN's front page boasted the following headline:

After reading the article, I'm not sure if I would disagree with Joan Biskupic. But, I do not agree with such a boastful and emotionally swaying article. It's widely agreed that CNN leans to the left side of the political spectrum, but recently the hunt on President Trump has taken an angry and vindictive emotional tone from CNN. The artistic rendering of Mueller in front of the American flag adds to the "hunt" theme of the article and CNN's recent overtones.

The article itself isn't that bias, which can be read here, but does have one point that I would argue has Biskupic inserting her opinion. She says mid way through:

"In the documents released Monday, evidence is laid out in attention-getting detail, with tantalizing quotes ("Great work," a campaign supervisor tells Papadopoulos)."

I do not believe the word tantalizing in relation to this article, and especially in that sentence, is objective. Aside from that though, the article seems to be to be rather objective reporting, but laid out in such a way to further define the idea that,

"Robert Mueller is the most powerful person in Washington."

Which is a very subjective headline - and an emotionally charged one with the Democrats and left-wing activists that are supporting Mueller. 

In all, the article itself seems rather tamed and would be a wonderful piece if the headline and featured image were less bombastic and pandering.
