I can't remember them all, I hope somebody made a list. Just to rattle off a few: CNN said that wikileaks is illegal. A guy CNN interviewed on the street was actually their cameraman. Donna Brazille sent Clinton debate questions. Nancy Sinatra called them liars for reporting she didn't want Trump to use her dad'
s song.
Anyone can see that CNN is highly biased. It's yellow journalism. They lie by omission. They lie by cherry picking what is and isn't news. They love to bring on a panel to debate the latest attack on Trump. By default Trump is on the defensive when they have to bring a panel of "experts" to debate things that would never be debated in the first place if it was against Hillary or Obama.
The media spent 20 TIMES more time covering the Billy Bush / Trump tapes versus the Hillary WikiLeaks stuff. Again the media is clearly biased against Trump.
Watch FOX news, read Breitbart or listen to talk radio and you'll hear a completely different perspective.
This. Furthermore, they can not even take ownership in the fact that they are biased. Instead, they try to play the "center" card. If they feel so strongly in their convictions, the least they could do is own it.
I'm sure if I was more of a glutton for punishment I could go to cnn.com and find many many lies, but I'm not going to waste all that time just for the OP's amusement.
Whats quickly explainable is the rampant bias and dishonesty. For the sake of argument, lets just say somebody famous that CNN wants to discredit(like Trump) has one third "bad" qualities, one third neutral qualities, and one third good qualities. CNN will constantly write articles just speaking of the bad things and exagerate them, and everything "neutral" will be spun and reworded and taken out of context as to sound equally bad. Everything that is clearly good about him will be completely and utterly ignored. Its an effective way to make millions believe that somebody is a villain.
The opposite will be done for somebody CNN likes. They will completely ignore the bad third, and rewrite the ok and good stuff to make their person sound even better. And before ya know it, somebody who is completely corrupt and dishonest is suddenly hero status in the minds of the readers.
Probably more often than blatent lies, its often just this insidiously bias reporting that unfairly and innacurately portrays people and ideas in whatever way suits the agenda.
Get real dude. The regulation they voted to repeal affected the rights of the mentally ill to own guns by giving access to SSA info. The title isn't the story, it's the lead in. You are expected to be smart enough to read the story to see what the story is about .
Geez.
Geez, it doesn't. Mentally ill can't own guns as per GCA. That hasn't been changed for more than half century. The House did no such thing as amending the GCA. They did take away SSA's ability of "reporting suspected mentally ill cases" to FBI background check process.
"Mentally ill" is not a loosely used term. To be called "mentally ill," one must go through an adjudication process. Just because you think or SSA thinks someone is mentally ill, it doesn't make them mentally ill. Once the person is adjudicated, not merely reported by someone or SSA, as mentally ill, he can't own gun and won't be able to pass background check. This has NOT changed and CNN lied!
No point of continuing if you keep refusing to accept that the sky is blue.
So wall man, before this thread dies do you want to make a comment about the CNN lies you've been presented?
Actually what I have seen have been bias and posters mad that CNN didn't report something they wanted reported . Every media is biased, FOX and Drudge included .
If these laughable things are the best that you guys can come up with after years of screaming about how CNN is all lies all the time, then the world is pretty safe taking CNN as a biased but basically truthful source .
These so called lies were downright pathetic in their lameness .

Whine all you want . You are complaining about a TITLE while evidently not smart enough to go read the story itself . IF you read the story , you see they told the truth .

So it's OK to lie in the title but tell the truth in the story?
When I show the picture of the title I took about this subject, everybody freaked out. They all asked why House is so crazy and then why Republicans are so crazy?

What a bunch of crap. You have made it obvious that nothing anyone says will change your opinion of CNN. How very interesting considering that in your OP, you declared that you do not watch CNN and only occasionally read - which I believe is a bunch of BS - but now declare to know just as much as anyone else when it comes to CNN based upon your perception of what others have posted. That is fine, but you should learn to own your position and love for CNN rather than tip-toe around it.
