I remember CNN being called the "Communist News Network" and the "Clinton News Network" by right-wingers, as well.

I'm in favor of using accurate names for things and organizations that have official names. I can write, "Fox News is not a reliable source of news, and is heavily biased toward the right." I often have done just that.
