Low Class
May 20, 2017

Anderson Cooper's comments this week where he states "If President Trump took a dump..." is a whole new low for CNN and the most disgusting statement I have ever heard in my 56 years from a supposed "News Anchor". Cooper has lost ALL respect I had for him. The rolling of his eyes when speaking with KellyAnne Conway was terrible and so wrong, but that wasn't enough and he just doesn't seem able to stop himself and remain professional. He should be fired for such derogatory and unprofessional behavior and his inability to do his job with any sense of ethic and morality.

Every day CNN gets closer to a Jerry Springer show than it does an honest news network. It's all about "gotcha" Mr. President. Cuomo is pushing his brother's agenda, to set him up to run in 2020. Tapper is such a fake, always adding sarcasm to things he says. Wolf used to be credible but no longer.

If ANY of these stories CNN spews had an identified source, they would stand a chance. But EVERYTHING they report has secret unidentified sources.

And one more thing. Quit calling him Trump. It is President Trump or Mr. President. Show him the same respect you gave to President Obama, who was never referred to just by his last name.

Fake News. Fake Journalists. True Agenda.

Not Journalists
May 16, 2017

This is not a station that reports the news in an appropriate and unbiased way. I do not consider most of the anchors as journalist... more as propagandists. They are not even smart if you caught them on the show Jeopardy. I was SHOCKED at how little they are educated. They can read a teleprompter and spew their opinion. Not where anyone should go that is trying to figure out what is really going on in the world!

Tabloid journalism
May 14, 2017

Not really news, purely motivated by generating outlandish headlines to drive clicks and sell ads. Unfortunately many people don't know the difference between tabloid news and actual journalism.

Why don't you have CEOs from Healthcare System? And ask them the tough questions why they are paying politicians to control National Healthcare. The politicians are not in control they are and they are paying lobbyis to control it. Put them on the hot seat and see what happens.

I've watched CNN most all my life but I am sickened by the elementary tactics, snide commentator's and vile behavior. Does CNN really think there constant and regurgitated drama helps ratings? CNN makes Fox news a favored and respectable alternative. Please God... Grow up and Report on real stories or just Shut the f?@# up!

CNN a tabloid outlet, I cannot stand to listen to trapper or lemon! Horrible news. In fact it's not even news, only opinions. Don Lemon makes me cringe. He's so smug laughing when his guest make a stupid comment. Please get him off the air. I can guarantee your ratings would go up. When Fox is reporting real issues, don lemon and Van only give their own biased opinions. No real news. Always talking about race and division, how horrible it is, cnn is responsible for alot of the division in USA. Please report on the real important news. Cnn upsets me every time I try to watch it. Use to be my favorite. Sad what has happened to cnn

What happened?
May 1, 2017

I used to watch CNN back in the 90s when they just reported the news. Now it's nothing but a freak show. In fact, I can't find a major news network that is not hard left other than Fox but I have my doubts about then too.

CNN (tabloid news)
April 30, 2017

CNN has become a trash can of news. Definition of the word News, "newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events". #1 CNN opinion section. Really opinion section. That's one or several people telling me there opinion not factual news. #2 Going after people by using the news to manipulate or omit actual fact to make someone look bad. Based on what they want you to believe. #3 Trash can news. A terrible or heartbreaking news event that happened to one person out of billions. Shock value to sell news and drive fear into everyone so you keep coming back for more info. They sell it like its happening every where around you one it's really a single event. #4 News reporters that care more about what they look like and how there ratings are than actually giving you real news. CNN a tabloid outlet? You tell me. I believe yes.

Respect
April 26, 2017

With life being so busy over the years, I never spent much time watching the news, most of my free time was spent watching Christian programming. Once the election season began, I was trying to learn and understand each candidates positives and negative's and therefore began to watch the news channels once again. Immediately, it became apparent that I didn't have many options to choose from. As I scanned through the channels attempting to educate myself on the candidates, with the assistance of our trusting news anchors, it became apparent rather quickly that the narrative of this respect, negativity, immature and childish interviewing and conversations completely disturbed me. But none more then the CNN team. Chris Cuomo, who I loved and adored and trusted completely broke my heart with his behavior along with the lady that he does the morning news with. I always thought of him as a man full of integrity and goodness but after watching his behavior morning after morning hoping it would change, I realized Chris apparently became a change man. It was quite disappointing. After so many years of not watching the news, then jumping in expecting that nothing had changed, that they would remain fair and biased, it was quite disturbing to find out what very little option I had to choose from. In conclusion, I still continue to watch my Christian programming, all of which remain non-biased and truthful in the reporting, which is what I was looking for. Between the big programmers such as CNN and FOXNews, I prefer Fox, due to the discomfort I constantly feel when I watch CNN.

Over decades the Internet revolutionized reading patterns instead of beginning with a home page as once was the case, now reader's encounters articles from Google, Facebook, Twitter and Apple. Sixty five percent of Americans get their news through social media and most of it through Facebook a third of all traffic to media flows from Google. This has placed media in a state of abject financial dependence on tech companies. To survive, media companies lost track of their values. Even journalist of highest integrity have internalized a new mind- set, they worry how to successfully pander to Google and Facebook's algorithms. In pursuit of clicks, some of nations most important news purveyor's has embrace sensationalism; they have published dubious stories, they have heaped attention on propagandist and conspiracist. Facebook and Google have created a word where old boundaries between fact and falsehood have eroded, where misinformation spreads virally. CNN is one of those spreading false and misinformation.

Flipping through channels this morning. Allison and Chris had a few guests and they are still weighing in on a "Trump admin Russia probe"? Really? Instead of "really really fake news"... they should be named, "really really no news"...
