Lies and more lies!
September 23, 2023

I really wish these guys would report the news and only the news they take sides on the presidential election. If this is what you really want in office a guy that falls asleep, inflation is out of control and he's scared to do anything about these other countries. So I say we have a free election so we need to elect somebody that is worthwhile not Trump not Biden, get somebody that can run our country and stand up to these other countries and not let so many illegals into this country until we start helping our own people. We can't even help our troops some of them are homeless. So if we can't help our own people first, we really can't help any other immigrants or other countries right now. We really need to start with this country if we want this country to be great again that means start with the people here.

Half of the airings consist of boring repetitive statements and adverts! When I hear "Afghan women are afraid... ", "If you can keep your head... ", "That was another controlled explosion", "It all starts here", not to mention all the African programs, I automatically switch channel (to BBC World). The most obnoxious staff are Quest, Becky Anderson, Amanpour, who are shouting at us and take us for idiots. I'v e had enough, especially of your airtime in support of Trump!

Trump news
August 24, 2023

Literally it doesn't matter what happens in this country or the world, cnn will only talk about Trump. It's so pathetic that they cover this man that much. I mean who cares. I'm not even a Trump supporter. I'll never turn this station on again. Grow up cnn

WHEN WAS IT EVER AGAINST THE LAW FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (OR ANY CANDIDATE RUNNING FOR PUBLIC OFFICE) TO DEMAND A RECOUNT OF VOTES BEFORE CERTIFYING AN ELECTION? LAW IS BASED ON PRECEDENT - WHICH MEANS THAT CURRENT LEGAL CAUSES ARE ADJUDICATED UPON LAW THAT WAS SET PREVIOUSLY. HOW MANY TIMES IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE THERE BEEN RECOUNTS AND NOT JUST ONE ROUND OF RECOUNTS FOR AN ELECTION AS REQUESTED BY THE CANDIDATES?
WHAT ABOUT AL GORE?
WHEN AL GORE RAN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AGAINST GEORGE W BUSH, AL GORE DEMANDED AS MANY AS THREE RECOUNTS FOR THE STATE FLORIDA BEFORE GORE CONCEDED?

DONALD TRUMP ONLY ORDERED ONE ROUND OF RECOUNTS FOR THE STATES CONCERNED FOR THE REASONS CITED - AND THAT WAS DONALD TRUMP'S LEGAL AND GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO DO SO AS AN AMERICAN!

CNN IS PURE "YELLOW" JOURNALISM - WHICH MEANS CORRUPT TRASH. CNN HIRES JOURNALISTS BORN AND RAISED IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHO CHEATED IN SCHOOL BECAUSE THEIR ENGLISH PROSE WHEN WRITING STORY HEADLINES IS EXTREMELY AWKWARD AND CLUMSY, IN ADDITION TO BEING FILLED WITH TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS BECAUSE CNN EMPLOYEES DOING THE STORY LAYOUTS ARE ALL HIGH ON MARIJUANA AND OTHER DRUGS AND DONT CARE.

I've watched CNN for years and always believed that it was a standup news outlet. Where I could get facts regardless of the news topic. I appreciated the fact that politicians couldn't come on air, lie and spread conspiracies. Now, and as of the last several months. CNN is now so closely aligned to another propaganda news station. I cannot tell the difference between the two news outlets. Our democracy is on the line and if our press does not do its job. We stand to lose our democracy! I can no longer watch this CNN until it returns to the forefront with sound principles!

I'm so tired of CNN's website - it does no justice to anyone with its click bait ad's (the latest is an antique car dealership who's ad's appear all over the site and automobile photo you click to draws you to a site that NEVER has that particularly snazzy car in stock - and this is the BEST of the click bait). Manipulative hyper sensitive click bait/ad links in scroll, unnecessary "instant refresh" that happens during scroll and booby traps your thumbs into click bait, and what's with the new video news stories that abruptly end as if someone dropped a house on the interviewers - is this supposed to get us to want more? As a network that has invested millions in a brand that begins with "Most Trusted Network" there is something to be said about a website that has more manipulation and trickery than any other website I know of. Shame on you CNN for listening to anyone who advised you that this is the face to the public you want to present.

Prime time anchor until 9pm is fine and good to watch. After 9pm it not interesting and is very boring. Hard to follow up since the new anchor pronunciation and communication is not very clear. The voice goes up and down. Hope CNN can find someone who can communicate clearly. These days I change CNN channel after 9PM

Was CNN faithful during the pandemic and liked the line up, but it seems the TV ads have taken over. I watched one news item for 90 seconds then had 3 minutes of ads, Then watched 2 news items for 2 minutes, then another 3 minutes of ads. The story goes on, Ads have taken over CNN, so I finally gave up and moved over to MSNBC. Sorry CNN but your constant ads is going to turn viewers off. Nice to have revenue but it has gotten completely ridiculous

Relieved to see that there is a much needed leadership change at CNN. Chris was running the network into the ground. NOW BRING BACK DON! Firing him was a mistake.

Dishusting
May 13, 2023

How low can CNN stoop! Groveling at the feet of liar, traitor, and a criminal, CNN sold their soul to the devil. If you organized a bunch of people to dance naked on the screen, CNN certainly will enhance your viewership.

Empire doesn't know the empire is naked!

Ditching CNN for good. Trump town hall was the last straw. Sad to see a once good news source become so bad.

I was a regular consumer of CNN on the app and streaming. I will not watch or read again until a public apology for agreeing to give an unhinged lunatic a megaphone from which to continue to spread his hideous lies. Collins did her best but the set up with all Republicans and Independents was untenable and gave a false impression to the viewing public that Trumps comments were true or funny. Someone should lose their job over this (Chris!). Shame on you CNN for the damage you have done to our democracy. Joe better get his airtime with all dems and independents?

Disappointed
May 11, 2023

I will never watch CNN again after they allowed a disgusting hour of lies be displayed by Donald Trump. I always thought CNN had some class but i was wrong. It's unfortunate because you have some great journalists that you don't deserve. You're right in the gutter with Fox.

What a disappointment you have turned out to be. Don Lemon was your last hope for me. And then to put the lady that spent the entire time of Trumps presidency fact checking him and then moderating his town hall was just ridiculous. You have stopped to a whole new level. Also have noticed how white washed its become. I dont identify as either political party but you are all the same between Fox and yourselves. CNN will tank because it was already going down hill. Major disappointment and failure. Will never watch you again. You have lost an audience member that has been around since you started. Good riddance CNN. YOU SUCK!

I am disgusted by the "trump " Town Hall"! I used to think CNN was a reliable news source. After the trump "town hall" you might as well be a Fox News affiliate! What a gross pandering to the lying, twice impeached, indicted, found guilty by a jury of his peers embarrassment. An audience hand picked by CNN filled with his supporters, laughing and cheering his hate speech? Really? No fact checking? Just letting him say whatever lies he wants to spew! I will never watch your "news" programs again. You have gone to the dark side of lying fake news. It won't help your viewership. Those aren't your people. The stupidity of the management of CNN is shocking. You have been infiltrated by Fox News wanna be's. You will either have to win over the fake news loving crowd or your network will completely fail. Either way I, and I assume many other former fans are already gone.
