I've watched CNN off and on for 20 years. I used to enjoy the special investigative shows that would air. But during the election cycle of the 2016 Presidential election, the coverage by CNN of Mr Trump became almost slanderous. They have been caught given debate questions prior to the debate to HRC. They have been caught interviewing their own cameramen acting as protestors. Disgraceful. You have lost me forever as a viewer.

Cnn is veryOne sided and skews the news to their oppionions and is very bigoted and biased to conservatives. They have called Republicans Raceist, and the Alt right and made it clear they only give false news. They used to be very objective and offered both view points. They are stirring up hate and a big divvide in this country. I believe they were very unfair to Conservatives and Donald Trump during the election and now. They will keep losing viewrs if they don't stop slanting the news to their libral ideas. They have become the fake news. It is unfornate, because I used to think Anderson Cooper was one of the best, but he has been bashing people too. I don't think I have a place there, since they are so hostile towards Conservatives. Give the new president a chance and please quit stirring up hate.

CNN is a great example of a state run media source. The truth is no longer important to them. They only seem to report what causes chaos among our country and sadly, Americans believe the BS they report. It's not the truth, it's the entertainment that makes them the spotlight.

False news reporting
December 3, 2016

The news should represent the truth, not opinions of the staff and management of the studio/station. The complete lack of integrity is appalling. Misrepresenting the nation and continued attacks on our future president will lead other countries to increase their hatred of Americans. This could lead to social, ecomonical and political unrest. If another world crisis is started, I hope CNN is the first to get shutdown.

What happened to CNN?
December 1, 2016

For many years I was a frequent viewer of CNN and HLN. I didn't question anything, actually trusted what CNN reported and sadly accepted it as correct and true.
About two years ago I realized there is another side to the news. And a bias side of that! I actually felt betrayed and stunned to see the difference in how and what news was being reported. I am so thankful for a real "NEWS" channel FOX NEWS.
I have learned that CNN can be extremely bias, misleading and reports just what they want you to hear. Many times you may not even hear some important news because it didn't fit their way of thinking. What about us the average person?
What about the truth? What about the news! All the news! Not just part of it or have news weighted one way or another. All I expected from CNN was news, real news. Not have it twisted to fit your own political agenda. I don't need your opinion, I need to know what's really going on in the world. CNN is a STRONG left political tool. It's so obvious it's ridiculous. I left CNN two years ago but have checked in a couple times just in case. No change yet. Don't waist your time here. You could be disappointed...

Bias
November 24, 2016

CNN I have recently given you a chance, switching from FoxNews because I can't stand to see, watch or hear Megan Kelly. What I have found is "white lash" and bias. I'm not able to watch your station either so I will have to get my news directly from a reliable source, Donald Trump directly.

I'm from Canada with no real political affiliation. After following US election on CNN. I will no longer watch CNN. This network has lost all credibility. I've determined that 90 percent of content is biased descrimination. Probably all scripted, with very little real news.
I believe what they are portraying is very dangerous to the American people. Implication of racial descrimination, and lack of respect for law enforcement. I will be getting my news from other sources.

Don't call me a conservative either and blame that. You have shown the public you bias this whole year and have earned this review. I don't trust anything you say. Everyone is racist, cops are evil, Trump is Hitler. Give it a rest try reporting an actual news story for once

I believe CNN can not report on any political event or news without being extremely bias.
CNN is reporting opinions and using propaganda to disrupt the U.S. political opinions with false and misleading information.
They are basically " worthless" as far as getting any news involving a political event.
