CNN NEEDS TO GROW UP
February 16, 2017

CNN cries like a baby when it comes to President Trump. Like most other's I am so sick of the attack's CNN throws at the President. He was elected fair and square. All Americans should have the President's back, not continually throw him under the bus. I only wish the writer's and editor's for CNN would literally get thrown under a bus, a train, etc. The are the worst news outlet this great country has. Fox is so much more professional and tells the truth for the most part. I done with this sorry and pathetic so called news company.

Not a news channel
February 15, 2017

If you want real world news. Try your local channels. You will find more news there. The only Investigating CNN does is to find people with opinions like their own. I want news not opinions. Therefore I will not be tuning in anymore.

CNN - Censored News Nuts
February 13, 2017

CNN, once a well respected and trusted news outlet, has now become the news outlet which censors anything that is not in line with their far left liberal views. CNN does not represent all sides of the stories. I now consider CNN a tabloid news outlet - and will seek my news from more balanced sources, both on the left, right and middle, who have more responsible journalists. If I could put -0- stars, I would.

CNN is the most bias network on TV, MSNBC is not far behind, then there is NBC, CBS, and ABC. None of you bereave in fairness, or facts. I just watched Al Franken on CNN, that idiot should have never have been elected to the Senate. I am a Canadian so I do not have horse in the race, just giving my opinion.The only Network that is fair and fact based is Fox News Network. Thanks Ted Smith Calgary Alberta Canada.

I used to watch CNN daily, and love it, but now I only watched it when I felt curious to know what "story" CNN might produce today for their only purpose - hurting Trump! I truly believed that CNN has helped to elect Trump. Why? If CNN had only reported the true stories many people might not felt the sympathy or "love" for Trump - Trump might have many weakness as a person but at least he speaks out of his heart. CNN's daily-overreacted reports has greatly harmed the Democratic Party - sorry, CNN made you look like a liar! If CNN only reported the true stories and reported less "comments", "hearsay" or "opinions" - people might not be sick of your same-tone reports, but better use their own judgement to figure out the truths from your real news - the result might better than you hoped.

So what can be the CNN's news today? - I don't have to turn on the tv; it must be same as yesterday - more new stories in headline - using an event rewrote/edited the news in a tone which can only hurt Trump! Can you just report the events/news without any of hearsay!

Now I have a new habit - watching FOXNEWS! Between CNN and FOXNEWS I try to find out the real news. However, FOXNEWS seems to be the better one!

Biased news
February 11, 2017

Is this station owned by the Democratic Party? None of the host seem to have a mind of their own. They are like negative robuts, saying the same thing over and over again.

CNN racist
February 10, 2017

I can't believe symone Saunders makes fun of a white trump supporter who was pulled from a car and beaten by 4 black youths. Her comment was "poor white people" she has also said that 4 black youths torturing a $#*!ed white teenager and yelling racial slurs at him was not a hate crime.

This woman is lethal to black rights, how CNN can keep a racial hate monger on is beyond me. CNN rates 1 out of a 1 to 10 scale.

CNN I will not watch
February 9, 2017

CNN is a prime example as the verse in the Bible. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Everything that is Biblical Moral This Net work is Against I pray For You all one day every Knee will bow and Tounge will Confess That Jesus is Lord

After wikileaks exposed them, they just got more biased and manipulative. I can't see myself tuning into CNN or NPR anytime soon as they really showed their true colors after Trump got elected. They are making Fox seem reasonable and fair at this point.

CNN = Propoganda
February 7, 2017

This is no joke... CNN ran an article on 1/19/17 titled "Ethics Office fires back at Tom Price", and literally the SECOND SENTENCE of the article reads, "The OGE tweets did not specifically cite Price, his financial holdings or the Senate hearing." The ethics office never even mentioned Tom Price. If that isn't fake news, then I promise to recuse myself from society.

To combat the above fabrications by liberal news outlets, I have started compiling screenshots of every fake news article from CNN as well as any articles with misleading titles. Believe me, they are in ABUNDANCE. I check CNN every morning to see what their new lie of the day is.

Is it possible for an average American to sue a "news" agency like CNN for slander?

Not sure why this is called 'News'. Nothing but fake, fabricated stories that they produce to further their agenda. Why would anyone waste their time watching this channel?

I would give them a "0". I hate watching any "so called news" from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and many others because it is completely biased. They have no respect for others opinion. They cry out foul when they feel harassed, oppressed and bullied... yet that's exactly what they are doing. They have no respect for any authority, like wayward children they have gone astray and what is so terrible is that their actions cause a divide in our country. They don't care for truth or what's right. They just want to push what they interpret as truth and use this media pedestal to preach their nasty hateful speech against anything they don't agree with. What I see is that those involved in the riots and boycotts, want to be heard but they are incensed with hatred towards any opposing view, which they feel justified in damaging things and hurting people. This is truly selfish and they want things to be rectified no matter the cost but these same people say that it's under the banner of freedom. As far as the ban is concerned, if it came down to it... would these same people give up their spot in America to give others a chance to live here... because then you really would believe in the safety of others over your own and therefore it would bring merit to your protest. I just feel they are all hypocrites and as for me and my house, we won't listen to their "fake News" anymore.

It's not news
February 5, 2017

This is terrible excuse for a news, it is nothing more than properganda. Pushing an agenda and if you don't agree with that agenda your racist or you have a phobia. When did and how did patiotism become fascist. Maybe they need to get out of the city and ask the rest of America how it feels. It's a bull$#*! network

Wow just wow
February 5, 2017

I never realized CNN was so good at running a biased network until these elections. As soon as the threat of someone willing to fix our nation was mentioned they went on the attack and haven't looked back. Every story they have report since the campaigns has been totally fabricated. Its funny they went on the defense when Trump said they are fake news, as if they had any argument and they all studdered to defend themselves show after show instead of actually reporting any news! They are just so caught up in the drama and I think someone higher up is controlling them. They are like robots that repeat the last broadcaster with the same exact story and the same exact belief. Stop attacking our president just like democrats in government are. All for the average American to be the one to suffer. God help us all.
