Being upset about this program and not watching CNN for news is like being upset about something Anthony Bourdain said on his program and vowing to quit watching CNN.

And he is not a "journalist", he is a comedian. You should watch his shows, they're sometimes kinda funny (like when he went to interview a KKK leader)
Has nothing to do with CNN? Lmao

I've been a CNN user for about 30 years.

It took you 30 years to figure out CNN's bias? It was started by Jane Fonda's husband at the time. That should say enough.

I see it from time to time when I go into a business that has CNN on and it is very predictable. Non stop Trump is bad coverage. With the democrats are good sprinkled in from time to time. Even more to the left than Fox News is to the right. And that is not easy to do.

Most of the people I know use a local television station app, they break for national headlines too.

You're exactly right. It almost doesn't seem possible but they've done it. And it's been that way for quite a while.

Not true. CNN came on air in 1980 when she was married to Tom Hayden. She did later marry Ted Turner, of course, but that's not what you wrote

Ok stand corrected my far leftist history is a bit lacking. Married far leftist Tom Hayden before marrying far leftist Ted Turner. Does that really change my point? Actually it helps my point, thanks!

Don't worry, you never had any news apps on your phone to begin with.

Its better to have a news aggregate like Drudge and peruse the links. No need to watch cable news.

When did they start saying that? My recollection was that Obama wasn't ranting about fake news while Republicans and conservatives were busy actually spreading fake news about his birth certificate..

I'd say that 95% or more of the news I've seen the last 3 decades is from CNN.
Try www.reuters.com or www.bloomberg.com or www.apnews.com or www.afp.com/en

If you want to see the world covered from a different angle there is also www.rt.com and www.aljazeera.com and www.abc.net.au/news
