No wonder they got banned.

Just look at this. Every article with a red box around it contains anti-Trump nonsense. CNN would have you believe that Trump is bringing about the end of the world.

I still miss the days when they had newscasts every hour and not a bunch of talk shows. That was 25 years ago, and they were far less biased in those days. Back then, the only debate show was a thing called "Crossfire". But much of what they used to do was do newscasts, with about ten different anchor pairings during a typical day. They actually covered things with balance and didn't even focus all their attention on politics. They even had weather, business news, and sports! It used to be a really good product and you could trust it for relevant news. The good old days.

That was twenty-five years ago. Twenty.........five!

Long since, that network has changed both its format and its direction, and the results are tragic. They've been reduced to mere rubble, with hate and vitriol replacing facts. A once-great network has turned to dust. Jeff Zucker (head of the network since 2013) has really ruined them, but they had problems even before that.

Because that is what they spend most of their time doing.
All anyone who isn't totally biased wouldn't see the MLK bust story as an example, would trust trust them again.

They were called the Clinton News Network back in Bill's time and have never changed.

At this point, even RT is more trustworthy than CNN. In fact much more so.

What about any of that is bashing? It's called "writing about things that have actually happened or been said". If you don't like it, direct your anger towards Trump for he is the one saying or doing things that the media is simply relaying to the public. Maybe Trump should change his ways if it angers him so much that what he says or does is public knowledge.

Those people at CNN have really lost it.
Probably because instead of Trump selecting qualified professionals for the top cabinet positions, he picked unqualified cronies, engaged in nepotism and pushed individuals who want to deliberately destroy the entities they are charged with protecting and administering to best serve the people.

Team Trump believes that printing the truth is anti-Trump.

So be it.

Agreed.

Even when CNN does not report false news, they skew the way they characterize or present it, and add their own biased commentary and spin. They also leave out information so that their viewers will make wrong assumptions.
