This "news" center does not inform, just reads out propaganda.

Lying to the public
October 17, 2016

Claiming that reading leaked emails is illegal for anyone but them, so we should wait for them to release the content through their lens.

What is wrong with CNN?
October 17, 2016

They no longer report the news. In light of Wikileaks, I'm not sure they ever did. Now they are saying it's illegal to read about their dirty unethical practices. CNN should rename itself to PNN, the propaganda news network. Shame on you all, you make me sick!

CNN's coverage of news stories took a massive plummet from 2008 onward. Their commentary is increasingly partisan and almost always reflects the best interests of the other financial holdings of CNN's owners. The technical name for this is a "corporate circle jerk." If you want to download corporate propaganda directly to your brain, just watch CNN.

I had used to have trust with CNN knowing that the information hasn't been tainted with blatant bias. CNN has turned completely bias in this election. The anchors has even said on air that they doing everything they can to get Hillary to win. I am not a fan of both candidates, but CNN needs to prove it self that it still has interest in independent journalism. They had also falsely claimed that seeing leaked emails from Wikileaks is illegal. However, they also said that perfectly fine for CNN to see them and we only find out about the leaks through them because seeing it for our-self is "illegal". Is this a propaganda machine for Hillary, or a news agency?

They've destroyed their credibility, what little they had, to help Hillary. They've been known as Clinton News Network since the 90s; the name is well-deserved.

CNN only shows pro-Hillary and anti-Trump stories. Anything else is censored. How is this a news organization?

I'm sorry but CNN went from valid news source, to watered down news, to outright propaganda and lies. SHAMEFUL

Most American's are now hostages of a CORRUPT Government starring Barrack Insane Obama and his leading Lady Schizophrenic Hillary Rodham Clinton both are clearly sociopaths. They are fighting for "OPEN BOARDERS" and "COMPLETE GUN CONTROL" they are demoralizing their pets: average everyday Americans particularly the police and boarder patrol including Ice agents. They have destroyed their country from the inside out via the common-core educational system, illegal immigration, medical care, DIS-information via Main Stream Media and news outlets, etc.

Now that the country is "waking up" to what damage has been done they are in panic mode! So they start blaming random things for this mess they caused often using "left-winged conspiracy theories" like "The Russians" are hacking all our systems, The Russians are fixing our elections, Global warming is causing Storms and Hurricanes, Donald Trumps language is causing ISIS to hate us, The sky is falling, the sky is falling... you get the idea.

Then they create FAKE/Hoax stories to back their conspiracies and plaster them across our TV screens. Quite disgusting and we NEED regimen change fast! If American's come November 8th don't vote for this change (ei: Donald Trump) then we are such idiots we deserve to be blown to smithereens by any and all countries we have meddled with and in. There won't be ANY "Safe Spaces" around. Free speech is a thing of the past and PC culture destroyed our rights to our U.S. Constitution and "Free Thought"

Absolute Propaganda.
October 17, 2016

The Clintons have proven that you can attempt to buy an election in 2016. Anything and everything anti-trump and pro-hillary is talked about on this network. You could say that about any liberal network, though. All we can do is wait and see if the American people stand up and reject this globalist BS on Nov. 8th.

Very Biased
October 17, 2016

Rather than report the news, they've attempted to start racial riots and sway the 2016 election towards Hillary Clinton time and time again. Every major headline is anti-Trump. Every opinion piece is a trump hit-piece. It's nearly turned into a propaganda network. Their slogan The Most Trusted Name in News has been tarnished, and many have switched off as their ratings tank.

Unreal
October 15, 2016

I think it's unreal and disgusting that a well known news show would intentionally put just one side of a candidate to the grave. People who watch thus show should not even vote because your not getting both sides. Boy Hillary Clinton must have paid them real big money.

Getting so tired of the one sided story. There are 2 people running for president you know. People deserve to hear both sides of the story so we can make a decision for ourselves instead of you guys trying to brainwash the American Citizens. Pulling the plug on CNN.

They moderate debates and even when theyre favorite canidate wins they never label it as a loss. There is video evidence of them telling focus groups what to say. They rig polls and debates. Propaganda news not real news.
