Years ago I watched CNN with great curiosity and wonder with your news programs. I retired at 48 and I loved the news. Since the election of President Trump you have took a slide into murky and funk smelling news. It is a shame you have such low esteem for your spot in front of America. I wonder who you really serve? It is not the blue collar America and those who once respected you. You see it has been my experience those who criticize others with lies and a deceptive heart are really screaming for acceptance Unless you change your format you will only be accepted by a few and slowly none at all. Brian made an example of what you have become today and all of this week. This once proud news station will die a cruel death of self destruction with no respect from your peers!

Not real news reporting
November 18, 2016

Cnn has become a bashing liberal entertainment network! They report on what they assume not by fact! They are not real journalist you can't report on opinion! I would give it negative 5 Stars if that was an option!

I just watched the presidential update on corona virus and CNN could only discuss why the president kept touting a drug, or not wearing a mask or why he would say this or that... Focus on the news, isn't that what you should be doing. I cannot stand CNN. I think the news anchors need an IQ test. Coming from someone with a graduate degree, I hope you can focus on the pandemic on hand, rather than the president's verbiage...

Cringe News Network
October 13, 2016

Your broadcasting is leaning to one side politically at an absurd level that it's laughable.

And it's painful too. I really wish you'd realize that there are others out here who would love to get their news from a reputable source. You are not that any longer.

And I guarantee that you don't really care.

I always knew that journalists had a little bias. That is not what CNN is. They will literally ignore the biggest breaking stories of the day in order to lie to your face instead. Yes, it is that bad. They are, without hyperbole or irony, propaganda.

I am giving you a two because every single day that I get up and watch CNN your channel glitches, cuts off at key points of the interviews and hearings. It's like your network is hacked. I have also downloaded your app, I have downloaded live news apps and they all do the same thing.

Used to like CNN a lot. I feel dirty saying that now. I used to think this was the most neutral places for news. But over the years, it became more and more clear it was more a propaganda outlet.

Today, you can only be misinformed by CNN. Their is no two ways about it. They are not concerned with news, just ratings and propaganda!

I have always seen CNN.com as a credible source of information if you're looking for a great place to start. While there doesn't seem to be a single source of perfection as far as news goes, CNN definitely has a lot of validity behind the news that they are reporting on unlike other networks. While I think it would be very smart to compile news from multiple sources in order to conclude the truth for oneself, CNN.com is definitely a great place to start.

The worst News channel - once upon a time a trusted source of information - today they pride themselves on gossip, slander and a clear intent to divide the American people and turn the world against the US. The most unpatriotic news station ever. So sad their reputation is destroyed forever

I Can't believe its even legal to pose as a news agency like they do. I could never in my life have imagined such a dishonest display of propaganda to be labeled as news in our nation. We need to bring back the liable and slander laws or all of our so called news outlets will be as corrupt as this one.

What happened?
October 13, 2016

I used to solely watch CNN as my source of news. I would put it on whenever I was home and it would fill the background of my house with the days top news. Now CNN has become too biased and one-sided with it's broadcasts. It feels like I am watching propaganda at levels I associate with dictatorships and communism. It is disgusting to see journalism turn away from reporting on the important issues and instead start pushing an agenda.

I am not one for writing reviews but I feel compelled to write this, I watch cnn, I love their news, it's just that they keep going on and on all day over and over beating the same horse, too repetitive.
It's as if they dumb the news down, after the 1st 3 times we got it.

CNN was my source for all news up until this election. The recent revelations about the news network however cannot be tolerated in a profession as important as journalism. It's yellow journalism at best, and outright lies at its worst these days.

To do this, they would need to do things this way.
1.) Come out and admit to the American people that you have been bias.
2.) Change your entire business plan and clean house.
3.) Focus on being truly fair and balanced. (Think about it. Their is nothing like it in todays news coverage!)
4.) Hire great entertaining reporters that follow your new business plan.

It would be a great success.
I would watch it and so would many Americans like me.

Its really your only option. Nobody is watching you.

Good Luck.

Trump 24/7
June 19, 2018

I'm tired of hearing cnn talk about trump. I want to hear the news and what's going on in this country. Right now I was watching cnn and there talking about how undocumented immigrants and children are being detained and how its inhumane. The same thing happened under the Obama administration. Cnn only pushes me more away and I'm sick of what there doing.

I was in tears about the terrorist murder of young teenage girls in Manchester. Then Pamela Brown says they are going to cover that story along with the Trump-Russia story. Shame on them! I was nauseated and had to change the channel. How can they make both of those stories the breaking news co-stories!?!

I would like to extend my gratitude to Angela Merkel and the German government for allowing all the immigrants into their country that they criticized the United States for not accepting in. Now Germany can feed, clothe, house and provide jobs for all the thousands of people they let into their country. It's gotten so bad that the German government is now offering them $3,000-$5,000 each to voluntarily return back to their own countries! The only problem is that the immigrants are destroying their passports. Now their own countries won't admit them back in because they don't know whether they are from that country or not. Now Germany is stuck with all these thousands of immigrants who have no ID's! (And no other country to send them to). So once again... Thank You Angela Merkel and the German government. Better you than us. P.s... The reason why this is not widely reported is because it would be like saying "Donald Trump was right".

A hundred years ago, America was trying to populate the country. We aren't trying to populate the country anymore. Now, every time you let a foreigner in this country, he is now competing against an unemployed American citizen for a job in which there already isn't enough of. It seems like our government thinks the foreigners are more entitled to American jobs then the American citizens are. Is there no common sense in the United States anymore? Let's start worrying about getting our own American citizens employed before we start worrying about employing people from other countries. Come on America... It's just common sense. Use your common sense.
