Most of the time, CNN coverage seems to be fair. However, Lou Dobbs has leaned to the ultra conservative right on the question of where President Obama was born.

If one is a political conservative, will CNN's coverage of the Obama administration seem biased or relatively fair and objective? Which news shows will a political conservative want to watch? Why?

Yes but this does not answer the question. Would you agree that CNN and all the mainstream media handle Obama and his administration fairly? Would a conservative consider CNN or more FOX NEWS Channel for their coverage? I Fox why would this be?
Conservatives usually watch Fox News, while liberals prefer MSNBC. CNN has usually taken the middle ground.
I don't think it's a matter of fairness in most cases; it's more about emphasizing different opinions and aspects of Obama's policies. A bad economy and the health care issues are complex and each solution will favor some people and not others.
I suggest you spend a week or so watching the news on all three networks and make up your own mind about their fairness.

Folks like their basic biases and beliefs reinforced, if the views are not reinforced, anger, hostility ensue. Talk to a regular Rush Limbaugh listener for ten minutes to witness this.
