Where is the news?
January 9, 2023

Watched CNN for last time this morning. No news. Just one big promo for Harry and Megan again. It is Monday morning and the best they can do is two segments on Harry with "reporters" who are also on the Harry press junket. Follow this by a segment on anniversary of Bob Saget's death. Move these reporters to E where they can wear who they are fans of on their sleeve not a "news show". They are not serious journalist.

It is unbelievable how this network portrays (and perhaps believes) that they are totally above all other media outlets, both media and print, in presenting unbiased news. This is a platform for a totally biased group to talk down to their audience.

I appreciate CNN's news coverage, but there are far too many commercial breaks and whenever I hear the same 'music"? I run to turn it off. I go to BBC which has equally good news, but far fewer breaks. It is a great disappointment not watching CNN, but it's too irritating.

Less shows more news
December 26, 2022

To be honest I never used to watch the news but the war and everything to do with ex-president has me watching more news than ever I watch it daily as long as it's actually being shown. Just got home from work early today the 24th and from 4:00 p.m. my time in Colorado you're running repeat shows for 12 hours straight I run into this a lot when I work I work in the day I get home trying to watch the news around 8:00 at night is next to impossible you literally show shows and then repeat them from 4 to 6 hours every Friday Saturday Sunday oftentimes I don't even get to see the news which is kind of a bummer I'm trying to keep up on things I watch your news on the 24-hour channel and like today 12 hours in a row is nothing but repeat programs has nothing to do with the news I would wish that we could sneak in an hour or two of news mixed in with multiple hours of different programming I would really appreciate it if I can see the news before I go to bed at 2:00 in the morning but literally sometimes I get home at 7:00 and there's no news until after I go to bed that's 7 hours right there please please sneak in an hour of news every so often throughout the night I would really really appreciate it I wish everybody Happy holidays glory to your Ukraine. Appreciate the news people from CNN would not get my news from anywhere else other than the war videos that I watch:-) cuz there's not quite enough about the war in my opinion thank you so much Merry Christmas I hope someone gets to read this take care thank you Kevin from Colorado

I would watch HLN every morning. Robin Meade led an outstanding crew and was a truly great anchor. I have no reason to watch CNN any more.

No mobile phone app

I don't understand for the life of me why a network that earns so much from advertising doesn't have an app but rather channels you to a TV provider. CNN would still make a lot of money!

Why continue showing the attack on the school with children inside? It's a shame! Please stop! What's the end reasoning for the continue coverage? It's clearly depressing to see.

All Lies
October 14, 2022

CNN is the worst news agency to follow. Always have some political topic which they swing in favour of a political power or sponsor that backs them. It's a shame people are so narrow minded and can't see in-between the lines. I can't wait to see the FBI and other departments burn in the future. What happened to honest reporting? Clearly it's just money driven now. Society is already at an all time low then CNN takes it to a new low. Watch, they will blame someone else for what they have cause... this is civil war in America!

More profit less news
October 3, 2022

We have noticed more recently there is less news and more coverage of advertisements. It appears it is going in the direction of what happened to Boeing... more profits! We have decided to move on after being a CNN follower for many, many years.

They are putting out fake news about how this Akron police is traumatizing the family over rereleasing the footage, that's FAKE NEWS. The reality of it is. Akron police where being persecuted for not Rea leasing the rest of the body cameras sooner. In fact there is an investigation on why it was release to the public within 30 days. Nice try fake news. I live in the city and know the circumstances

CNN move to right
August 28, 2022

CNN has now become a mouth piece of the right. The new head is not an neutral person. He is destroying the network. It is having people on who spread their propaganda especially on state of the union on sundays. I will not continue to watch cnn because there is no objectivity in reporting. It is biased when it comes to the Israel/Palestinian issue.
