Not a news station
October 9, 2021

All they ever talk about is Covid and bashing Trump why not talk about all the catastrophes of Biden that are actually happening in this country? Oh yea because he's done nothing good to report on. No wonder your ratings are terrible I'm surprised you're still on the air!

Really CNN
September 29, 2021

CNN's main story is on finding Gabbys boyfriend or Trumps hospital visit. How about the Americans left in Afganistan, How about the border thats Biden is letting thousands of unvaccinated people walk right in, How about the Generals that told him to keep 2500 troops in Afganistan, How about Covid Delta out of control but " I will have it resolved by September 1st. C'Mon CNN, You really worried about Trump being overweight but you not worried about Joe Biden not knowing what office he is even running for. You really have to tell the TRUTH sometimes!

Our president has yet to visit the border. He offers no plausible solution to the border crisis that he denies. Our border czar Kamala Harris continues to divert attention to the border. She seems unable to articulate a cogent plan. Simply put, no concise strategy on how to secure the borders continues to linger. Meanwhile, the press feels ambivalent about attacking the president!

There is no mention talk of a Covid's threat with immigrants entering the country. Amazing? Only Americans are blamed for being unvaccinated. Biden allows millions of undocumented immigrants approximately one million, millions of Haitians, Afghans, and extended visa holders to remain in the country illegally. Our new residents who cross the border have been seized for selling 46 pounds of an extremely lethal synthetic opioid. Our government seems unfazed by these events.

Our Press refuses to blame the Biden administration. Homeless and needy people who are in dire help of assistance go unnoticed. Walk down Eighth Street in NYC and meet the desperate people who ask for a hand. These invisible people go unnoticed.
Instead, our government continues to accept people from all parts of the world and offers assistance.

Meanwhile millions of Americans continue to be in dire need of help. When will the Press hold the President accountable? I remain baffled on how not one undocumented immigrant has yet to carry or spread the covid virus. How is it New Zealand with one covid virus victim closes the border and our President has no clue on how to intervene and secure the borders?

Hold the President accountable.

Partisan Propaganda
September 18, 2021

I've been watching cnn since the 1st gulf war. This used to be a reputable news outlet that reported what happened. Now every show they have is an OpEd and moderately to extremely Biased against conventional American views. Often, nah almost always they Take a story out of context and wildly exaggerates or even out right lie completely fabricating a story. This is pretty prevalent throughout so-called news organizations that have shifted to the pushing left narratives even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Both they and msmbc are approaching Keith Oberman levels of insanity!

ZERO CREDIBILITY!
August 26, 2021

CNN is the most incompetent news on the planet. These people are doing nothing but propping up the Biden administration, I find it impossible to believe that they are not holding accountable the people in the government who are responsible for the HORRIBLE way this was handled. How anyone can defend this is the most sickening display I have ever seen. They are totally playing this off like it couldn't have been prevented. WRONG, the president and his cabinet's incompetents of them are 100% to blame. Every one of our service members who were killed and injured is on BIDENS hands!

August 22, 2021

CNN is ALL without exception FAKE news. They are biased and have no creditability. Fox News is a much better station. CNN is obsessed with President trump and blames him for everything. The blame is on cnn. Organization such as cnn are ruining America.

How about reporting on all of the people & young children getting murdered around all of the democratic cities around the country! Reporting the real news might help your ratings. Real news that is very disturbing! Yet you still can only continue to focus on our real president Trump of whom gave you great ratings with your continuous lies! COMO & SHELTER have nothing without Trump to constantly harrass like the cognitive test! Biden would have been gone a long time ago if he had to undergo the scrutiny you gave Trump daily. Biden is a cognitive disaster and destroying our country. Acknowledge that and to might get a viewer!

I have never seen a news network display activism as journalism until I turned CNN (London) on. After watching a segment with Becky Anderson with protesters in London trying to push her activist views to her viewers made me turn it off. Then, I find out the entire thing was staged which made me decide never to watch CNN again. If you have to set up props, bus in people and give them signs then display them as "protesters" for a news segment, you're just pathetic.

Everyone at CNN needs to be locked up for all the lies they tell and all the real news they don't tell! Journalists are supposed to give facts and real news. CNN has proven themselves to be nothing more than a political left leaning, liberal, America hating group of over paid and way overrated fake actors!

Hateful Opinions
May 15, 2021

CNN is not news it's all opinionated talk and hatred of republican people. Don Lemon is an ignorant dumbass racist wanna be white so bad he has to take white penis in all his holes to make him feel white. Anderson Cooper is exactly the same as Lemon very opinionated and too lazy to actually do research and seek real news so they go by what they hear on social media. Cuomo is a murderer just like his brother and starts lies cause he is too lazy to get out there and find real news to report. No reporter on CNN ever wants to debate with a conservative. They never have the people they love to talk about on their shows just other democrat liberal trash and their uneducated ignorant racist opinions. FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS... LIES LIES LIES LIES... Heres a little common sense for you to report dumbasses if you have had the China Common Cold AKA COVID then you dont need a mask or a vaccine. If you've been vaccinated you don't need a mask. If you are a child you should never wear a mask. You democrats and liberals need facts like how we all know you hate children you want to uneducated them, molest them, and abort them. You all deserve to die from your vaccine. I can't wait till next year when you all have side effects from it hahahaha. Science is wrong every day just look at all the lawsuits on medications. Your poles are always wrong because real republicans dont do poles. We work so we dont have time. The welfare trash that watches your fake news shows are the only ones doing your ignorant poles. TRUMP WON THE 2020 ELECTION. REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO DESTROY YOU. FAKE PEOPLE FAKE NEWS.

CNN sucks
May 14, 2021

I'd give zero stars if that were an option. CNN is basically only good for whenever you want to fill your head with utter rubbish and/or far left propaganda - which by the way, isn't any better than far right propaganda.
Their 'journalists' don't seem to do any valuable investigative work because the crap that they 'report' on sounds scripted, at best. Maybe that's why their ratings have plummeted?

Clown News Network
May 12, 2021

Imagine being so contradictory, So wrong, So disgusting, And so evil? As well as racist? Well, the "folx" at CNN don't have to imagine. They just are. Trying to make everything about race and then crying about racial inequality. Shut. Up. 24/7 whining and racism. These people will tell Latinos how to speak their own language using "latinx". Latin (language) X-terminators. So gross and racist. I'm not a huge Trump supporter, But go and turn your TV to CNN. I can bet all the money and property that I own that they're talking about "Trump bad/Orange man bad" or "White people bad" or "Republicans bad" or "Conservatives bad". Straight up bigotry. These are the same people who got so butthurt about a meme gif of Trump bodyslamming CNN that they found the creator and threatened to release all of his information. That creator was a minor (15), And CNN was well aware. All the anchors are whiny, Contradictory, Always resort to personal attacks, And so hard to listen to. So even if you agree with them, It's a challenge to listen to them for more than 5 minutes (Anderson Cooper to a lesser degree, However). You're honestly better off watching racial propaganda, Because at least they're not subtle about their disgusting behavior and words. I absolutely hate... No... DESPISE supremacists (of any color), But their sad excuse for "news" and "journalism" makes me want to be one. Ugh.

Ehh its alright
May 2, 2021

CNN is definitely biased - that's for sure. They most certainly do lean towards the left.

However, CNN still has integrity in its writing. CNN still facts-check their sources, still uses professional language, and does not post fake news. CNN is still a helpful and trustworthy news source that can be used.

Overall, if you are conscious of any form of bias in media, then CNN is not for you (Try Reuters or something). However, If you are just a regular person hoping for a good read that is based in fact, then CNN is all fine.
