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

They've been my go to news source, they're the only news app on my phone for the past 10+ years.

My last so many presidential votes were I, I, D, I, R, D, R.

My congressperson, whom I voted for is Charise Davids.

With that said, this is garbage and frankly legitimizes the media complaints from Trump and his supporters.

I mean , wow. First page of CNN.com and you have a "journalist" that has rounded up some very young children to talk about how "they felt safer" when Obama was president.

Shame on CNN for running this sort of garbage.

I'm deleting my app now. Not sure where I'll get my news next, but it won't be from them (or fox).

But yeah, Obama, Hillary etc. were right when they started saying "Fake News". So is Trump for copying them.


Liberalism is based on fear and emotion, not reason. Such tactics are exactly what one would expect.


You are viewing this action by CNN through the prism of someone who is rational, therefore it does not make sense. Get really high and drunk, then look at it and perhaps it will make more sense.

Yep, the people of New York KNOW Donald Trump, and he is hated there. That says a lot. People in Iowa have no idea who this man is, or how crooked he has been forever.

Can't rep you again, but spot on! I know many liberals (not the hate spewing type) and almost all of them have a difficult time having basic factual, rational conversations because they are so filled with emotion and believe anything they're told to believe. Not a whole lot of thinking going upstairs in those heads, for sure.

One thing I have noticed though is how CNN and MSNBC are staffed by intelligent, experienced news hosts. Rachel Maddow and all the rest, both male and female, who know their craft and are very professional. Fox News "hosts" consist of those two morning show clowns and the bleach blonde bubble head who was picked strictly for her looks, obviously. There are exceptions, Shep Smith, etc, who refuse to go along with their skewed agenda, so there are some shows worth watching.

I get it, the smart ones agree with you the dumb ones do not. That is the mindset that keeps Fox News, CNN and MSNBS going.


Nothing on Fox News, CNN or MSNBC is worth watching unless only for entertainment purposes or of someone needs their perspective validated by a talking head who they perceive are smarter or wiser than they are. Those networks exist for ratings and except for small slivers of hard news that may happen for a few minutes at the top of the hour they have "shows" all day long. Good thing is put all their ratings together and they only account for a small less than 10% of the US population. So most are smart enough to look elsewhere for real information.


But even with Fox News, Laura Ingram is a lawyer, Bill O'reilly was a Harvard grad, Tucker Carlson was on CNN for years, Greta was on all three of the cable news outlets at one time or another. But like I said they are smart when they are on your side and dumb when they are not.

That is why they end up hate spewing, name calling and accusing you of being racist and sexist. It is to end the argument because they can not discuss nor argue RATIONALLY.

I have found that within my own lefty relatives. They can't discuss the issues without anger, name calling and constantly trashing our president with mostly lies. Thank God I only have a few of them while the rest of the family are conservatives and don't resort to such behavior.

All I can say is, what took you so long to discover how bad they are?
