I have been stuck for the past hour in a place that is playing CNN. I DON'T usually watch it.
Wow. All I can say is that it is apparently being funded by the Democrat party. No attempt to provide objective news, but a full on commercial for Clinton.
The programming today is basically a summary of what some internet scribblers on political sites did to bash Trump.
Yup—Freepers passing through airports and some hotel lobbies has become a near death experience!
You insult Pravda. Pravda would actually criticize the Politburo once in awhile.
CNN aren’t the only one’s either. The entire alphabet media is a status-quo, left-of-center, pro-government propaganda and spin machine
I’ve not had TV since 1997. When I am exposed to CNN during this election cycle, I actually laugh out loud at what I see regarding this election. For me, it’s not even subtle. They are in the tank for Hillary to the point where I feel almost like I’m watching her personal campaign TV channel.
Meanwhile, NPR must be listening, because they had a guy on this morning counterpointing Cokie Roberts regarding the Trump tax thing. He was saying things like, “it would be odd to complain about someone not paying more taxes than they were legally required to pay.
He really was making a good case that if you don’t like how much taxes Trump pays, Trump is not the bad guy. The tax code is.
I no longer have cable at home so I don’t get CNN or MSNBC. This weekend I stayed in a cabin at night while on a fishing trip and caught both channel’s news. Biased is right. They make no bones about it, they are completely for Clinton and attack Trump at every breath.
Don’t forget the stealth progressives, Faux.
My wife made this same observation while we were sitting at the gate at BWI recently. I just laughed and said, of course.
This morning on the today show they had a story based on comments from several sources that trump made rude remarks to women on the set of the apprentice. Not a single shred of evidenc, just hearsay, but they played it like it was factual. Amazing!
Airport or doctor’s waiting room?
CNN is a parody of news.
Wow. This sounds just like my former but no longer watchable favorite channel: Fox News.
One thing that CNN is good for, is a quick view of the Camp Crooked talking points for the day. They are very direct about presenting them, no attempt at subtlety.
That’s why we have TCM and METV and other related channels (up here in Canada, Vision TV which is basically the granny channel with Brit stuff, “The Waltons”, and “Murder, She Wrote”). No way I’d voluntarily sit through DNC schlock on the American news channels, as well as the CBC and CTV up here.
After a blatant attack on Trump, the newsreader went on to a story about Hillary's comment about the Bernie supporters.
I was starting to think, well, at least they're reporting a negative story about Hillary too ... but then the newsreader added this little coda ... "What Hillary Clinton REALLY said was ____"
(fill in the blank with a milquetoast statement that made it sound as if Hillary wanted to "lift up all our young people" and didn't mock Bernie supporters).
Heard aboiut them from others at work , and neighbors. They all said how bad CNN was, and so I thought instead of flicking through the channels which I normally do I will sit there and watch them for half an hour, and oh boy.
What a disgusting piece of scumbags they are. No objectivity, nothing, but bias.
They’ve been like that since the conventions, when Trump initially shot up in the polls and they realized that he could actually win. Before that they were merely biased like almost all “news” organizations are, but since then the channel has been a stronger, less principled advocate for Hillary than her own staffers and spokespeople are.
Clearly, the hosts got orders from the top since they all switched to extreme partisanship at the same time. Under normal circumstances, at least some would have attempted to maintain the façade of impartiality to save their reputations, unless their jobs were on the line.
I have more respect for the true believing, straight-forward leftists at MSNBC than the manipulative, fake “reporters” at CNN. The channel has become a wing of the DNC establishment. It will never recover its reputation or credibility. There is a reason why its ratings have deservedly dropped.
