Biggest hate starters
April 28, 2021

CNN only reports on crap to try and divide the Country! They don't care about anyone! They report fake survey results! No one has ever been asked what they Think About Bidens first 100 days yet they have a magic poll that says 53% of Americans approve of Biden! Not True! We need to be bringing the Country together Liberal CNN not breaking it apart!

News who lie, news who have no facts and do not represent them, news that should not be called news, news that are complete propaganda, news who have very strange people to do journalism, and the list will go on...

CNN IS A JOKE
April 13, 2021

CNN is one of the most detestable leftist propaganda machines of the modern day. The liars and morons employed by CNN like that cretinous bufoon, Brian Stelter, or that useless moron, Chris Cuomo. If you want trustworthy news, don't watch this pointless dribble.

If Cuomo could be charged for saying white kids need to be killed I would love to see it. CNN and himself need to do research. More white people are killed by cops in a year than black people but that's right you don't report on that. More than 500 whites were killed by cops and 250 blacks by cops. But that don't fit your narrative. You want your ratings to keep going down lower than what they are please keep reporting the way you are. You are the examples of white privilege.

Bias news
March 5, 2021

Brianna Keiler is the most one sided reporter. There is a crisis at the border and she is reporting how FOX news is only reporting right wing news. What a joke CNN is only reporting what the left wants reported. Very disappointed CNN used to report news not opinions

CNN should perform an investigation on their correspondent Zamira Rahim for publishing completely biased and false news condemning Indian government agricultural reforms. Firstly, she has no clue on the reforms and how it will impact the Indian farmers and secondly she's trying to instigate terrorism by supporting the khalistani population who are trying to divide the country. I would expect a reputed news channel like CNN to have both sides of the story and not just biased reporting of one person based on their personal whims and fancies. Last but not the least, Meena Harris is no spokesperson for American Indians, she seems to have her own political agenda. On the contrary, mostly all American Indians support what Indian government is doing for the growth and prosperity of the country (which btw was never done before).

CNN... COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK. I don't even believe them when they say their names. Absolutely grotesque, and anyone one who watches it and thinks they are hearing any truth just lights the fact our school system is failing to create rational thinkers. Just lemmings, jump.

Deserve a lower rating
February 18, 2021

If you want the truth about what's really going on in the world, CNN isn't your network. Sure, we'll gladly cover up election fraud, pedophila and nursing home murders by democratic colleagues (or siblings). That's all fine and well. But God forbid you speak in favor of Donald Trump, we'll spend hours labelling you racist, terrorist and every other name in the book. You see, the mainstream media tells you what to believe and just accept it. If CNN says wear two masks/take the vaccine, do it. They're the final authority you know. Even if their advise hurts or kills you. Stay away at all costs! Don't be brainwashed by the deep state actors!

I used to watch this station and loved it. Then it became something else. Anti American trash is what it has become. Lie after lie and is so obviously untrustworthy. CNN should be removed. Political propaganda!

Communist News Network
February 2, 2021

Once upon a time, CNN was the most credible news network on the air. That was during the first Gulf War. His name was Bernard Shaw. You could believe what he said. Novel idea. What do we have today with CNN? I don't have enough space to describe all of the lies, deception, and propaganda this station exudes. It is the voice of communism now. Hate for Trump is no justification for support of the destruction of America. CNN hates all Americans. You are truly the Communist News Network. Obviously, linked at the hip with the Chinese Communist Party. I wrote you off along time ago. It is so sad.

Your attempts to brainwash and indoctrinate my younger generations have come to its limit! Americans are taking a stand, unlike you, reality runs through our marrow and patriotism fills our veins. Fortunately 80 million (and growing) true Americans know you're nothing but a fraud, a laughable joke with every broadcast. CEO of CNN... you're a $#*!!

I use to watch CNN years ago, thinking I was getting genuine reporting. But, since Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, I have not been able to find a single report without personal feelings swaying the article or news anchor into a whirlwind of anti trump hate. Instead of reporting from a clean slate every time, it's just been a "bash the trump administration" teenage girl tantrum. I cannot give negative stars, so I guess they can just have 1 star, and know my disgust.

I've turned off all CNN's access. They have become another political satire rag, expounding on lies, making up sources which they call anonymous. It's such a sad sad day and I'm sure their ratings show it.
I WONT HAVE A PROOF OF PURCHASE UNTIL THEY STRAIGHTEN OUT.

CNN does their best to repeat gossip, and fake news, while trying to stroke liberal politicians. I'm sure they have strong government ties, who pull the CNN strings behind the scenes.
