Please stop lying to the public about 100,000 deaths in the US from Covid 19... we know that hospitals
And doctors are payed to write on death certificates that the cause of death was Covid 19, when it was not.
That is so, that they can put out the most fear to the public, directed by the global control millionaires.

Their only goal is to put Trump down. Nothing else. I am democrat moving to republican because of CNN and how shameless they are. Even when the economy was doing soo good (before covid-19) they would still find negative. Thank you CNN for opening my eye and how fake democrats are. I know trump doesn't speak well, but I don't care how well he speaks. He did really good for our economy.

CNN has always been my favorite, as I am democrat.
CNN has divided our nation, caused unneeded hostility and division, and overall I am embarrassed that I was ever a viewer I wish there was a news station that would just give the news, in a way that I didn't know what side they were on. Stop putting your spin on everything and just give non-biast info. Ratings would quickly go through the roof. We are all just looking for facts and some median that brings us together. Stop the hate and division.

Fake News
June 1, 2020

Fake News. Do not believe a word these people say. They censor the right, while validating anything and everything the left has to say. Look at who they employ; it's no wonder the people no longer trust CNN. People like Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon are a complete and utter disgrace. How can you possibly label yourself the free press when constantly restricting the flow of free thoughts and ideas? Does CNN truly believe it fairly covers the ideas of the conservative right the same way it coves the liberal left? How about CNN's reporting of Tara Reade, Obamagate, "Russiagate", and the like? I thought women were to be believed. Why was that only good enough for Brett Kavanaugh? Did Obama really have a scandal free administration, or did CNN and other media outlets simply choose to overlook the facts (fast and furious, billions left on an Iranian Tarmac, Biden's Quid Pro Quo in Ukraine, the unmasking of General Flynn, and the illegal wiretapping of President Trump (then presidential candidate), the caging of children that actually started with Obama, Michele Obama's constant racist/hateful remarks towards white Americans). The Obama's widened the racial cleavage in this country (Ferguson, constant racial remarks about White Americans).

The Obama presidency was a clown show. CNN frequently talks about President Trump's gaffs, but what about Obama saying that there are 57 states, or how about when he said he was a big fan of the Miami Heats (he was such a big basketball fan after all)? Obama claimed to be a huge sports fan; yet, he didn't even know the name of Comiskey Park located in his own home town. He called it Comiskey Field. Seriously. And CNN consistently failed to report this kind of stuff, while having no reservations about its flawed reporting of President Trump. These are the reasons CNN is considered fake news. Look at how CNN White House correspondents act at press briefings. Completely disrespectful. If anyone acted towards Obama the way CNN does towards President Trump, then it'd be considered outright racism.

These people are simply unprofessional. They completely lack any modicum of integrity. Shut down and go home.

Stop The Hate
June 2, 2020

Stop turning everything Trump says into hate. All you are doing is making things bad. How can you change his words around out of contest an have Al and I telling protester's on your show to hit white owned stores plainly. If you love family, God and USA you would tell the news like it is no matter if it is Democrat or Republican I can't believe how you preach hate. Sharpton should be fired. I love all and my family and you people are destroying everything we are all different. Just tell the news like it is.

Yeah, Evan Perez and Jason Hoffman wrote an absurd article stating Trump's declaration that Antifa was a terrorist organization was "unconstitutional", claimed the extreme right-wing was behind some of the rioting(false). The press really needs to be cleaned up of some of the immature, juvenile staff they have. No one is fooled by them anymore. Hint, do some quick research of the writers to find out what they're really about before taking them seriously.

This is the worst new Chanel period. They are only interested in picking at our president. And coumo is a complete idiot. Not one thing about Biden's comments about black people. Fox news is the one to trust.

I have felt like CNN is mostly fake news from the beginning and are more concerned about Trump-bashing than about reporting balanced journalism. But I have been even MORE disgusted as of late on their fear-mongering headlines about the corona virus. There are so many scared, anxious, and depressed people out there and we know that suicide rates have increased dramatically through all this. And I feel that your constant NEGATIVE and OUTRAGEOUS headlines have contributed to these sad outcomes. How evil! You should be ashamed of
Yourselves! STOP IT!

All I have seen from CNN is bashing of the president. It is disgusting. They should really be taken down. Sickening! Lemon is definately disgruntled. Anderson trys to play it off, but just the fact that he works for CNN brings him down. Chris Cuomo is another disappointment. All of them should be ashamed. Constant negativity Fake News (CNFN)

Lies

I am not a fan of Trump but I hate liars. After watching the Task Force daily I realize how badly CNN omits, lies, and only tries to hurt the US morale. They false report daily and I don't think they should even be considered news.

I have watched their (CNN) coverage of the pandemic, and honestly I have never seen such a biased reporting of the facts. It is clear their agenda
Has nothing to do with providing the public with facts, and everything to do with pushing their own political agenda. Unfortunately, I can no longer watch a channel that spins the news that way, especially at a time like this. Shame on you CNN.

Has anyone in the corporate office or CEO ever tried a new approach to the way this fake news is broadcasted let's be honest instead if bashing our government and coming up with supportive solutions instead of contributing to this nation's problems. Attacking the president and blaming this pandemic on him along
With everything else isn't going to fix your ratings being honest and start stating facts rather than opinions would go along way. CNN is without question a disgusting display of the 1st amendment. Your network is garbage as well as the news you're broadcasting!

Anderson Cooper is particularly guilty of reporting his opinion rather than the news and he does so with a fake tough guy attitude. His glare through those black glasses wouldn't scare a pedal off a rose. CNN replace this amateur with a pro "reporter" and instead of spinning the news go do some spinning in the gym!
