CNN has the unfortunate situation where they never thrive no matter the President.

Fox News thrived during Obama years.

MSNBC is kicking Fox and CNN’s butt during Trump years.

CNN will never have that kind of luck.

“”””“Sad to think that 25 years ago CNN was the authority on what was actually happening in the world”

Like back when they were giving Sadam Hussain editorial control of their reporting?””””””””””””””””””””””

Yup, A lot of these yutes don’t remember that CNN had an office in Baghdad and were allowed to stay there as long as they reported positive things about Saddam Hussein. If they told the truth about him they would be sent through the wood chipper.

Propaganda at it’s finest.

I never voluntarily listen to a thing they say, but I’m in a hotel where they have it playing on a large screen in the coffee bar in the mornings. Yesterday was stunning - it wasn’t news, it was one band of squeaky voiced women after another, accompanied by a few “outraged” sounding men - going on and on about how Trump “hates women and minorities,” how “Trump is Stalin,” etc.

I’m sure something newsworthy must have happened somewhere in the country during the night, but even if it didn’t, how these raving, paranoid opinion-rests can possibly qualify as news is utterly beyond me.

This article is BS. I recall they were almost as bad to Reagan as they are to Trump.

Is it any wonder POTUS DJT has such low approval numbers, when nearly all (99.9999999%) that ever gets broadcast is wall-to-wall negative, spiteful coverage, with virtually nothing about the good things taking place. And this is on nearly every news outlet, except for Fox News, which is more fair in its coverage.

Then Donald Trump is compared to Joseph Stalin for attacking that bastion of the First Amendment. CNN: we retort; we decide.

I'm sure someone has a screen shot of Wolf on Jeopardy...

Even better and more edifying that a stunt on water skis in his (probably) Armani suit...

Was the ‘Scud Stud’ with CNN? I cannot remember!

I asked a (former) Lefty friend if she thought, as Stephy was so close to the Clinton’s, anyone could consider him unbiased. She said ‘of course!’. I then asked if the Press Secretary for ANY Republican President was hired by any ‘news outlet’ to report on political news, would they be considered ‘unbiased’. She said ‘no way’. The hypocrisy was lost on her and she was a PhD and teaching at a State University in California. ‘Nuff said.

I don’t think stories about CNN or MSNBC need to be covered on FR anymore than stories about batbaby or the Hubble scope seeing Heaven off in the distance. It’s all silly fiction.

I used to like watching ones like Natalie Allen and Lauren Sidney on the regular CNN and Lynne Russell on HLN. Lynne apparently has not had many nice things to say about CNN lately, lol.

Does anyone know how and why CNN is in the airports, and have any ideas on how to get it out?

The shark it jumped has died of old age by now.
