I love you guys at CNN. I DISAGREE with one thing. It was NOT a travesty that Donald trump was not there. It was a blessing He would have made it a disaster with his frowning face and stupid looks. Thank you Jesus he wasn't there. One more thing you guys are smiling. Something we haven't seen in four years so let's be grateful for what we got today. It was amazing thank you

Anytime you read an article made by this company it's really a joke. I have never seen a more left leaning News outlet than them really. Case in point today 1/20/21 I read an article that started out with a long winded sentence that was just about Name calling Donald Trump. Not really sure why they had to call him a pirah, egotistical, etc person. All a fair and non-biased article needs to say is "As Former President Donald Trump left office today, skipping the inauguration..." which is all facts, they had to make it an opinion piece which is so extremely left winged opinionated it makes me sick to think this is how people are told to view others. Find a better place to get your news, and that's the bottom line here. Do better for yourself then these A holes.

This is in response to Don Lemons airing of every person that voted for Trump is white supremacy or a nazi which he said he 100 percent agrees with! What total crap, this guy is such a racist and needs to be fired! First of all I am a Democrat who has voted for both parties. Seems to me when we voted in Nov of 2020 there were 2 people on the ballot. It is our right to vote for who we believe represents our values! CNN says that everyone needs to boycott Fox News because they are right wing news, NEWs FLASH CNN you are only left wing news reporters! Everyone in America has a right to watch what ever news station they want that is what makes America great! I think we all need to be deprogrammed from the media news on TV as it is bad for our mental health! Maybe the news should actually hire real journalists instead of actors on reality TV! As for me I'm done watching news only local news from now on and as they said on CNN you can all go away!

Ridiculously biased news
January 12, 2021

It is disgusting how disrespectful and biased this news network is! I cannot understand how they even call themselves a news network. It should be illegal to conduct business the way that they do in America! And use Network like this belongs in a third world country like North Korea. They do not have true accurate news. All they do is push false propaganda to make everybody believe the way that they want us to believe. This is what they do in North Korea! This should not be happening in America!

I get nearly instant vertigo & headache when I open CNN.com. For 4 years over 80% of its headlines and story titles amount to hostile rants toward Trump which it expects readers to receive as unassailable fact. In so doing, they step onto the stage they are supposed to observe and they influence events. I would even argue that they have a hand in shaping how Trump evolved and what he's become.

Their news is fine, plus I balance it by watching MSNBC, Fox, and PBS among others.
My problem is with trying to reach them. I have tried multiple times to reach them by all the methods listed on they website ie: filling out the feedback form, trying to email them and even calling. The feedback form tells me their is a problem and I should try later (I've done this 3 times with no success), the email I send (also 3 times) keeps getting rejected by the mailer daemon and calling the number on their website gets me Time Warner which says that CNN won't accept the transfer. Very dishonest!

Very disappointed
January 11, 2021

Cnn it's a shame I can't give you a minus star rating.
I as an American am very disappointed in cnn. You have let yourself go right into the gutter. You should be so ashamed of yourself for the bias lying sneaky reporting you do. I can remember when you told the news as it was without being ignorant.
Anderson Cooper is such a waste of flesh he sits there and lies about everything. He says trump is a disgrace, no Cooper is a disgrace,
Cnn you keep talking about the capital being attacked. What about the cities being destroyed. That's alright baby you because they aren't part of trump.
You're sitting there talking so highly of biden while he ruins America.
I'm ashamed of you and I'm ashamed of the Dems and their communist ways of thinking.
I'll be glad when you have to close your doors

CNN sucks. It belongs to the conglomerate of defeatist fake news in the mainstream media. It is far too obvious that widespread voter fraud took place in the presidential election, the house election, and the senate runoff in Georgia. Ballots for David Perdue were found shredded, but CNN claims that the democrats won fair and square. CNN is an obvious lie and joke, and the reporters are clowns. I am a moderate Republican, and this voter fraud I can't take anymore. I am never gonna watch this scumbag of CNN ever again. They support voter fraud, unscientifically based COVID lockdowns and wearing plastic bags over your head, aka masks. I will never support CNN ever. They are as corrupt as they get, and they belong to the deep state.

If I could give less then 1 I would! I use to trust and watch CNN fairly regularly. I am sickened by the "news" they projectile vomit. Not only have they incited nation panic with false reports, they are truly untrusted worthily with the blatant lies they continue to spew! How their reporters can hold their heads up is beyond me. WILL NEVER TRUST THIS NEWS STATION AGAIN. It is a joke among almost every other news media.

Raccoon found in Christmas tree. Customer at restaurant leaves big tip. Dead dad leaves money for son's first beer. This is what you call news in a pandemic and a corrupt administration threatening a coup? I look to CNN for import breaking news and this is what I find. I expect stuff like this on Yahoo which is overrun by liberal females on an agenda, but CNN should be an example for journalists, not the joke it's become. Also, it has utilized news space for advertising purposes, telling me what I should get mom for mother's day or what meal kit they think is the best. Truly wretched, going from top notch in 2000 to pure garbage in 2020.

CNN used to be acceptable but the site is now impossible to navigate, has a dated appearance, and its articles are filled with grammar and spelling errors. Please put it out of its misery.

We know the truth, we know that Trump one, we know that all Biden can do is read from a Teleprompter, we know that the Biden family are CROOKS and that any minute Harris will be elected as president because even she knows that Biden is incompetent. This is OUR country, not YOURS big tech JERKS!

Last night was it for me. They finally get a Republican to come on and speak... so what happens. Chris did NOT let him speak. He asked him questions and ANSWERED his questions. He spoke to him in a condescending voice, he belittled him and raised his voice when he would hear what her didn't want to hear. They ALL do that. The shut people up and wont let the truth come out. Just horrible! This is NOT a news station.
