Awful un news
January 31, 2017

CNN should never try to report the news again. This is the most biased reporting. If I wanted fiction, I would read a fairytale.

I used to enjoy watching CNN to get an overview of US and International news but can no longer stand even glancing at their headlines. The majority of their news has become a liberal, anti-conservative, anti-Trump propaganda war.
They appear to craft all political news headlines with the most negative, anti-Trump theme and no longer offer complete, unbiased information.
They're promoting divisive, hateful rhetoric and seem to have lost touch with anyone who's not a left-wing liberal.

This site is fake news and you should never take what it says at face value. They will distort, misrepresent, straight out lie, report on rumors and do overall bad work. They are not news, they are propaganda for the CIA.

News should fair and just. News should always be unbiased and provide equal and fair reviews and opinions from either side of the issue. I am appalled and disappointed as to the level this news organization projects current events to the public. Not only is the news feed provided one-sided but the reporters on your news station have no reservations to voice and use your social television influence as a platform for their own personal agenda. Until CNN begins to provide unbiased news, my family and I will no longer support your television station nor various social media avenues you also influence.

Don't be a puppet like Fox News, they are bias. They slammed President Obama every chance they could get but allow Trump to fabricate the truth and support his shananigans. Fake news is what's coming out of the White House and I will not believe a word they say (alternative facts)... embarrassing! CNN keep up the great work and continue free speech and press. In fact, don't shut up and tip toe around this president sensitivities like they want you to. I and lots more will continue to watch a fact checking news channel vs. what inexperience bullies from White House/administration want one to believe. For years every president took the heat of the Media... now this one can't take the heat so instead make the News media enemies when they should be focusing on keeping America safe (not helping) all this crap is peddy and irrelevant coming from White House/Bannon/administration (inexperience and true colors coming out; shouldn't been confirmed by Senate). All this inexperience don't know how to govern this country. Other countries are watching... shameful! Embarrassing! Shout out to CNN. Do you!

Disgrace!
January 25, 2017

Your news station, reporters and including your Spanish channel Univision are a disgrace for this country. Giving you a one star, maybe because sometimes you report some real news that are happening now. But other than that, there is no respect for our new President. Just bad remarks, no matter what our president says or does.
Shame on you as a recognized news media and reporters.

Canadians drop CNN
January 22, 2017

Enjoyed Jake Tapper today sunday January 22nd
It was fair and interesting.
The rest was repeat and boring.
Interested in news not editorial page all day long.
At the very least interrupt with news every 25 minutes.
Also, allow guests to finish their thoughts. Stop interrupting them.
Stop the proxy war you are having with Fox News.
We understand that you are not s news station but you could be.
We are craving news.

As a world traveler, CNN is often the primary western cable media outlet. I am shocked and amazed at the totally biased reporting, fueled by democrat supporting guests. The channel has become now almost unwatchable - so sad to see CNN destroying USA credibility round the world. Without doubt - more damaging than President Trump could ever be!

January 21, 2017

I think CNN is the worst news network on television, thay are paid threw the Democratic Party, I think the national enquirer is better than them, they are one sided bunch that I ever seen in my life, thay should drop off the face of the earth, thay probably paid a lot of people to start some of the bull that is going on, and these movie stars should pack there bags and go live in Cuba or some other hole, this is the USA don't like get out

Biased liberal garbage
January 21, 2017

CNN is unilaterally biased. Till the last day CNN kept predicting Hillary's victory, making Trump look like a villain. All CNN articles are one sided garbage. Announce fake news. It has become a desperate group of crying and complaining, whining pathetic "reporters'. Anderson Cooper has stooped so low in the past two years. I no longer watch CNN and don't visit their website. I automatically discredit anything they report.

You Just Don't learn
January 20, 2017

CNN I know you people are not the smartest on the planet but LISTEN TO THIS. We, the American people DO NOT TRUST A WORD YOU SAY OR PRINT! You taint every story to meet your personal opinion, WE don't care what your opinion is, we want the truth. With that said, you CNN are worthless to us, YOU CANNOT TELL THE TRUTH. It is about time for a career change, try fishing, that is a sport where everyone lies... YOU WILL FIT RIGHT IN.

CNN and MSNBC are by far the worst news Networks in the U.S. they constantly edit and edit again in order to mislead the American public. I'm not sure how they can even be classified as news Networks. Unfortunately the only real stories that these networks deem necessary to cover are real tragedies. I hope that American citizens will realize this and stop watching they're nonsense!
