Op-ed, not news mostly
February 25, 2022

CNN is mostly op-ed now unfortunately. It's nothing like the CNN that covered the gulf war in the 90's. They do have articles that are informative, provide context and a holistic view. Their bias is often one of omission. CNN is good at covering what supports their narrative and excluding what does not. Ratings in 2021/2022 seem to support my criticism.

Disappointed
July 18, 2017

CNN used to be my favorite channel. I could tune in anytime and know what was going on in the world. Not anymore, all they ever talk about is politics. I have to go elsewhere if I want the news. I rarely watch it now.

This site is fake news and you should never take what it says at face value. They will distort, misrepresent, straight out lie, report on rumors and do overall bad work. They are not news, they are propaganda for the CIA.

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.

No longer real news
April 25, 2019

It's unfortunate that the content reported on this network no longer reports the real news. Stopped watching this show after everything become politicized. Go watch Fox News they still have stayed non biased and truly report the news as it is.

TOTAL BIAS
October 3, 2020

As someone who studied political science in college there are some things that I expect from journalists... and CNN doesn't do any of them. They don't report "facts" so much as their own opinions and those of people that share them. That is NOT the role of reporting and wish they would be held accountable.

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.

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.

Your whole organization is horrible on every level and should be banished from conducting anything related to news. It is unbelievable that you consider yourself an American organization. Despite your failure rating for years on end you continue to create havoc from a President that is actually doing some good for once. He is best president since Reagan and will likely surpass any President in the amount of success created for America as a whole. It is time for CNN to close down operations as it is full of hate for al Americans.

I am an independent with more left leanings and not a White. We have watched CNN everyday for last 15 years at our house till 2016. That is when CNN started showing a very visible and distasteful bias against the choice of the people of USA. The role of media is to report events not try to become a king maker. I voted republican just to protest the media trying to manipulate our democratic system.

Booo CNN your fired
February 18, 2017

Switched over to fox as tired of CNN prejudicial reporting and childish schoolyard attacks on trump. It's obvious that no matter what trump does CNN will find a way to attack him. Okay we get it. You didn't vote for him. Let it go and let him do his job and give him the respect the other presidents were given. CNN... your fired...

I used to go all the time in previous years. There were comments sections, and you got images and the occasional video that played if you clicked.

Now, the comments are gone, the videos play automatically with a preceding ad, and I have to wade through other celebrity deaths to read about the celebrity death I originally clicked to read about.

In addition, every few celebrities I clicked on, and I would get an ad that was difficult to remove for the stupid RNC. I clicked to close it once, but after it appeared 7 times, I closed the site. The amount of scripts also crash my browser quickly. CNN, did you need that many ads?

You've really lost sight of the viewers that made you what you are. I will not be back in a long time and I will rank you with the remaining clickbait / pro ad news sites advertised on Facebook until I see your integrity regained. What you were will be missed.

Completely disappointed!
November 13, 2016

I regarded this network for countless years as fair and accurate. A network that told the entire story unbiased. However, this is no longer true. This network lost its way and has an agenda which clearly does not include telling the whole story. It really is a shame. Just as the Democratic Party needs a major overall, so does CNN. This network lost its way and importantly lost its way into homes across our country. If CNN wants to remain a relevant news source, clean up your act. Report the entire story!

I have waited for an hour to hear the news on the DC shootings today and when they finally got around to it it lasted less than 10 minutes then immediately returned to Donald Trump. He is not the only interest of the american people. No wonder he doesn't have to pay for airtime. CNN gives him all he needs.

Stop The Hate
June 2, 2020

Stop turning everything Trump says into hate. All you are doing is making things bad. How can you change his words around out of contest an have Al and I telling protester's on your show to hit white owned stores plainly. If you love family, God and USA you would tell the news like it is no matter if it is Democrat or Republican I can't believe how you preach hate. Sharpton should be fired. I love all and my family and you people are destroying everything we are all different. Just tell the news like it is.

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

Bias
April 20, 2017

CNN is completely bias, especially during the election. Withholding truth from the american people is not right. They have no credibility. I do not trust anything that pops up on their headlines anymore. Independent Media is an up and coming trend and people should get a little more insight on it.

I was a regular viewer of cnn until they started covering Trump 23 hours out of every single day. I'm an independent and don't understand the obsession with bashing Trump every waking hour. Even the haters of Trump are tired of your coverage. Just please report on something other then politics for more then an hour a day. This comment also applies to cnn International.

CNN has been caught multiple times now trying to rig peoples opinions, rig the debates, etc. They're corrupt and don't deserve the title as a news network. They're a propaganda machine for hire, stop watching them.

I normally flip between programs like cnn, msnbc and fox to balance opinions and viewpoints out. I expect some left leaning spin from cnn hosts, but lately they have abused their influential ability by going WAY out in left field, attacking guests and preventing them from speaking whenever it goes against Clinton. I have became so disgusted with cnn that I have not tuned in to it for several days, and have no more desire to.
