Here’s what I’m going to do.

Call my cable company and demand that I don’t want CNN on my cable service. Remove CNN or I won’t pay for this channel.

“there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus - and that’s CNN,”

Why is that? Who set that up? Time to change it, Donald!

“”One of the things I think this administration hasn’t figured out yet is that there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus”

and they’ve all figured out you’re fake news...

“The perception ... is shaped, in many ways, by CNN.”

Exactly the problem. Their mission should be to inform, but instead, their raison d’etre is to shape perceptions. They’re nothing more than a propaganda mill, and that’s all they want to be.

Pull their press crews for 30 days. Most people don’t watch CNN so it shouldn’t have a negative effect.

Trump right now has the power to singlehandedly empower a brand new generation of media organizations, ones not controlled by corporate cartels.

It is interesting that you emphasize "corporate cartels." Only this last year I began to look at the problem from this perspective. It finally occurred to me that the New York headquartered Media is "liberal" precisely because liberal policies suit the best financial interests of the corporations who own the media.

When the government spends excessively, and that government spending ends up flowing through certain companies that get rich from this spending, you can see that it is in their best interest for this excessive government spending to continue, and it is not at all in their interests to slow it down or stop it.

Therefore the media becomes "liberal" because this is in the best financial interests of it's masters, even though it is not in the best interests of the people of the United States.

Ever since Watergate, journalists want not to report, but to “change the world.”

“there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus”

So that means CNN is joining the state controlled news dictated by just about every one of the countries he cited. So that compromises CNN and what they report, right
