CNN is not an honest news network! Avoid them at all cost if possible. They are corrupt and bought-out. They determine what's news and will only share what THEY think is news. You won't hear about plenty of news stories because it might go against their agenda. I would recommend going with Fox News, Drudge, or other similar networks.

CNN is by far the most biased, unethical, and useless source of "news" currently being broadcast. Its very existence is a plague on civilization and everyone that supports this network of misinformation should be ashamed of themselves.

Biased...
October 14, 2016

I used to watch CNN religiously but after the 2016 election will never watch this network again. Their coverage of the "news," if you can call it that, feels more like propaganda to try and push one candidate over another. Specifically, the constant coverage of the "locker room" talk video but no coverage on the leaked emails.
- CNN Anchor being caught coaching "undecided" voters during the second date
- Anderson Cooper denying that CNN had ever collaborated the story about Clinton laughing about defending a rapist and laughing about it
- Anderson Coopers obviously one-sided treatment of candidates in second debate

Bought and Paid for
October 14, 2016

This channel shouldn't even be allowed to call what it does "journalism." The company is paid by USA's political elite to provide a narrative to the American people. They don't care about ratings, because ratings don't make them money, politics does. They only serve to push far left views on the American people and do not provide an accurate representation of the country or the opinions of average Americans.

Their Viewership numbers are now less than the Garden Network.

They are willing to risk bankrupt Financials so they can maintain their role in the largest money Laundering scheme in World History (See "Clinton Global Initiative)

It's a joke. The actors on this network are blatantly being paid by Clinton and some of them even have spouses on Clintons' campaign committee. They show no regard for journalist objectivism.

CNN, commonly known as the "Clinton News Network" has abandoned all pretense at providing news, and has gone all out to try and influence the election, by creating narratives, ignoring real news that does not support those narratives, and slanting, exaggerating or outright fabricating stories to fit that narrative. This is not the CNN I recall from years ago. A shame that they have lost all credibility.

In any situation: hurricane Matthew, presidential election, lack of coverage of US-Russian relations, pipeline coverage, it almost seems like the entire channel is feathering away from being a news network.

This news network doesn't even conduct real journalism. They pick and choose on what to report on. Once they claimed to be non-partisan, that's one huge joke. Can't wait for this network to completely flop.

CNN is an obviously biased news site which functions as a shill for Hillary Clinton and her ilk. Worse than that, is they pretend to be a legitimate news source. Get your news online, this network is nothing but government propaganda.

Just Propaganda
October 13, 2016

CNN is not a news channel. It is pure propaganda and that would be okay, except they pretend they are a news channel. The best anyone can do is not watch it. Unless you only want government approved information. In that case, watch it. As for me, I won't watch CNN or visit any of their websites.

I can smell their bias from where I'm sitting. They cover the slightest thing on trump, even when it's offensively false, but won't delve into anything hillary related when it could hurt hillary's campaign. That's just negligence to not tell the whole story of both sides, and it really hurts their credibility.
