After any news conference with president, no matter how many important topics and information was given by present and his team or the experts, cnn commenter's start with the lease impotent of course, no matter what, nothing that president and his team say or does is never good enough for cnn! All the focus is how to show that he's no good. Negativity and hatred of your own president is appalling and ridiculous and of course so obvious.
How can you call yourself a journalist l will never understand, do you think that all Americans are stupid and they will buy anything you try so hard to sell them!
This chanel is for democrats only, they stupid enough to believe your fake news.
By the way l am citizen of different country and we can only wish to have YOUR PRESIDENT running our country. Let's swipe we give you Trudeau, you want have to worry much about the virus, you will be able to fly to any country you want and he will tell you to wash your hands, don't worry about sanitizers.
Cenceling your fake news Channel. Installing FOX NEWS!

I like to switch back and forth from CNN and Fox in a vain attempt to find the "truth" out there. As our president has increasingly lied I've increasingly watched CNN. But tonight when I'm desperately trying to find information on the SC primary I'm denied CNN coverage because I refuse to listen to the opinions of racist Bakari Sellers. Can't CNN find someone better than that?

Worst news source
February 25, 2020

CNN is no longer a creditable news source. They are exstremely bias to our president and have the worst story's ive ever seen. Don Lemon is an embarrassment to the world of news. He is unprofessional and makes a mockery of the system. Acosta is also absolutley terrible and disrespectful. CNN is everything wrong with todays news. Everyone i know bad mouths the network and i will do the same till theres changes. No suprise they have recently plummeted in ratings.

Are facts still facts?
February 7, 2020

This network attempts to be impartial but often fall short. 70% left leaning - 20% independent - 10% right leaning. Is it too much to ask to have the rights perspective presented by more competent and reasonable republicans. Rick. S is an acommplishled politician but he is not the best you can do. Please do better. Thank you

Out of curiosity, I watched a few minutes of CNN immediately after the Question and Answer break today. It is very obvious that that entire team is Anti-Trump. Their is no question about it. I now see why their ratings have dropped to an all time low. They did not even try to be objective. They might as well have Adam Shiff on there as a news anchor spewing hatred for President Trump. As an American Patriot, it made me sick to my stomach.

I don't care for FOX news, but at least they have Democrats on. With Don Lemon laughing at people that vote for Trump. I will never turn this channel on again. I can't stand to even look at Don Lemon face, he's a disgrace to all newscasters. He should be on a talk show, but I'm sure nobody would listen to this idiot.

Unbelievable
January 10, 2020

Can't count how many times disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti was on CNN trying to disgraced president Trump. Where is he now? Can't count how people on CNN said we are going to war this week where are they now? CNN will let anybody talk about anything with no consequences. I won't call it fake news but it's very very irresponsible.

Their portrayal of prime minister Scott Morrison as a despised figure in this country is as misleading as you get. The only ones criticising him here in Australia are the lefty voters who can't over the fact he won a recent election against all odds in a similar fashion to Donald Trump. As an Australian I am disgusted by CNN's biased coverage.

Your whole organization is horrible on every level and should be banished from conducting anything related to news. It is unbelievable that you consider yourself an American organization. Despite your failure rating for years on end you continue to create havoc from a President that is actually doing some good for once. He is best president since Reagan and will likely surpass any President in the amount of success created for America as a whole. It is time for CNN to close down operations as it is full of hate for al Americans.

Why?
January 4, 2020

After watching your channel after the US embassy was attacked and our military response and takes out a very prominent terrorist, you side with the terrorist country! Why are you against our country, our president and our people. We take out a dangerous terrorist that has taken lots of american lives. And you side with the terrorist country that hates America. Not happy with your agenda against our people and country. You should be ashamed of yourself. There is another option. Move to the middle east and live there.

Fake News
December 31, 2019

Continuous Negative News (CNN) I used to watch CNN until they began spreading propaganda trying to deceive the American viewers. Anything positive that our president does for the American people or the economy, CNN avoids talking about it. How many times have they been found falsifying facts or mis-interpret something someone said to make the president or his administration look bad.

CNN should be taking all the air all they do is nothing but lie and mislead the American people. The average person talked about somebody in public on national TV that other person could sue them for defamation of character but CNN must have some protection which is not right they should shut them down and all those people lose their jobs then they will get our reality check

I am giving you a two because every single day that I get up and watch CNN your channel glitches, cuts off at key points of the interviews and hearings. It's like your network is hacked. I have also downloaded your app, I have downloaded live news apps and they all do the same thing.
