It's getting from bad to worst. Was wrong big time on the election and till today still haven't get over it. It's getting more bias politically against a democratically elected President. Get over it. Give all due respect to the President and change the news reporting for the good of the country.

In any case, I am tired of CNN and has since switched to Fox News now.

Tired of CNN
March 6, 2017

I was a consistent watcher of CNN for almost 20 years... but they have lost it. 24/7 negative rubbish. Get over it CNN and report news - your hate is a complete turn off. Even cutsey Anderson Cooper has lost his alure. Your dropping viewer numbers are are apparent and you know why. For years considered my dad was senile for watching Fox non-stop. Now I watch it to get an inkling to the news.

A UK view of CNN
March 2, 2017

I'm from the UK and visiting the US so really don't have a pre-determined view either way of CNN. However, after watching recent news items and political debates concerning Sessions and Trump, I've got to say that there's no doubt in my mind that CNN appear to have a one-sided view of things against the Trump administration. They'll have one or two democratic talking heads on and then no counter-point at all and, quite frankly, this just isn't good journalism.

What a joke! A station that broke the bar for world news, is now a political, one sided, slandering and provocateur of fake news. To continually dig to tarnish the their own president. Shame on all of you for not trying to bring us all together, not divide us. Another lost lost viewer!

TOTAL GARBAGE
March 1, 2017

I am an Indian Immigrant and an American citizen. I can't believe this channel is allowed to do what they are doing here. I have not heard one positive news about Mr. President, come on now. Even positive stuff they will turn into negative, I feel like getting into the TV and punch that fool Don, Wolf etc, what are they trying to do to this country. Oh now they are airing a ATHEIST commercial on prime time, I could not believe my eyes. Guys we should get together and take some action, this is on freedom of speech. It's worst than a terrorist actually, they are trying to build opinion by fake reporting. Pushing pro Gay, Trans, women's, etc agenda. These politicians and media want us to keep busy and fight with each other on the basis of race, religion, sex etc meanwhile they pocket big money. It is divided and rule policy, open your eyes and see what is going on. I voted for Democrats or should I say Obama for last 2 terms, but was disappointed. That guy was just a good speaker, he did everything opposite to what he said. He let the banker's go free, went to wars and destroyed several countries and kept on printing more money and increasing our debt. Stupid people are worried here where the trans will go to bathroom, you should be worried about your kids future. Don't let the media mold your opinion, be an independent thinker. See what's happening around you and ask questions why is it happening. Why there are 60% divorce in this country, if you count people who don't get married and live together than it would be more than 80% rate. Why are kids doing drugs, why are people taking anti depressant pills, why are young men acting like wimps and women like maniacs, why are so many people on food stamps, why is black community suffering, why there is more crime in black communities, why does media and hollywood push gay, feminist, trans and anti God agenda. Ask yourself what's the motive behind these agenda, open your mind before it's too late. God bless America, it really needs help right now. Trump is doing great by the way, YES I AM INDIAN AND SUPPORT TRUMP. He one smart person, media has just portrayed him like a baboon. Fake very fake news.

I am so sick and tired of the liberal mainstream media BS! I am so tired of Hollywood stars using their platform to voice their political opinions. I pay for their acting skills, not their political or religious viewpoints. I'm so tired of people like George Seros who should be locked up for treason for stiring up trouble and paying for scores of protesters. How dare he? I'm so tired of Hilary encouraging protesters and pushing so called "Democratic" ideals - you lost Hilary, for a second time... grow up and the same to all the sore losers. Move on, get over it - you are all a bunch of spoiled babies. Hilary, all your money and "special interest" donations did nothing for you. You are and will always be dishonest. The media has lost touch with most of America. Report on non-bias news and you might get my vote. I won't look at CNN again until they discover what most Americans believe. That their far left liberalism is so far left field, they should be playing baseball and not spewing their own take on the news. You have tried to take this country down with your BS and liberalism and the people won't allow it any longer.

CNN is so extremely bias that their stories should never be trusted. They absolutely apply an agenda to add bias to any story. If you think that claims about fake news are wrong, you are an idiot! I will NEVER watch CNN or read their online content... never. They are manipulative and a joke. Journalism, once a respected profession, has officially hit rock bottom. CNN, oh how i wish you would just go away!

Hateful negative BS
February 25, 2017

What a joke CNN has become. Opinions is not news. Get over yourself, seriously. I used to listen to CNN the most and sometimes FOX, however, because of CNN whining and forcing lies and opinions down my throat I can't stand the taste of what you dish out anymore. Goodbye forever CNN!

A bunch of whining idiots

Used to switch back and forth from CNN to Fox to get both political views. Not anymore. Cannot stomach the complete negativity on CNN programs. They've now converted me into a loyal Fox fan. No more CNN = no more negative completely biased BS. GET OVER YOURSELVES!

Watch it for ten minutes, or better yet, don't. They recently claimed on air that 4 black teens kidnapping a white guy and streaming it, saying f... whites, was not a hate crime.

They also ran a headline, Are Jews people?

CNN, the least trusted name in news.

I was a long time viewer of CNN from back in the day when they were the first to bring breaking news into my living room. Those days are over. Biased angry commentators across the board. When a guest offers a different prospective they are attacked and vilified. This is not news, these are not facts, this is something altogether different - a cheap, in-the-gutter broadcast. I have moved to another network and will never go back.

Just look it up and find it on Reddit. They have a reddit post with just links of how CNN cuts their satellite interviews when they don't like what the other person is saying. It's actually really funny especially when they cut off Bernie after he said they were fake.

CNN a Hate Instigator.
February 21, 2017

Embarrassing to our country. Not accurate. Instigates hate nationwide. Trump may not be the best speaker and certainly has made is mistakes in communicating but he is honorable and works for the best interest of the United States.

We are all done with the corruption of White House militants all out to make their millions on the backs of US citizens.

Thank you President Trump for showing us the hard truth. What we suspected all along. Super wealth buying the laws for their personal gain and manipulation of citizens paying for protesters most of which do not even know why they carry these pretty pre-made and fabricated messages They are just there for the paycheck. I hope they are paying taxes on all the money they use and pay out for the propaganda

Racism is a big problem in the United States, but there is a very fine line between being racist and speaking the truth. Saying that illegal immigrants should not be allowed in the US is not racist. No one has a "right" to be in the US if they are not a citizen. CNN does not get the difference between legal and illegal. It's rediculious. Why it deserves a 1 star. It is dividing the country by giving everyone false information. It's rediculious.
