Maybe he doesn't care about "showing them," but rather finding other sources of news.

"Getting them" is how dems think, thats why the OP and Finn don't get that deleting the app was about finding other sources.

Write an angry letter - or comment - or tweet.
It should because they’re losing viewers at a rapid pace. There is trouble on the horizon for CNN. In fact, I think there is trouble on the horizon for a lot of things - professional sports, network tv, cable tv, radio, newspapers, brick and mortar stores. Young people don’t watch sports in great numbers, they don’t shop, they don’t watch tv unless it’s from some streaming service or YouTube, they don’t buy music. I don’t know what’s going to happen to these industries in the future. I guess musicians will get revenue from Spotify and YouTube, but it can’t be as lucrative as it used to be.

You should go to other news aggregators too, like RealClearPolitics. They’re pretty good at showing both sides on similar topics. The problem is it’s only political opinion. I’d like a news aggregator that has actual news other than Drudge. Is there a liberal news aggregator? I think the Daily Beast is somewhat a news aggregator, but also has its own content. Can someone tell me, because I’d like to check it out?

I dont necessarily see CNN as having a philosophy. I doubt most of you do either , which is the most interesting thing about the attacks on CNN and the right vs left divide in this nation.
Put CNN on for 5 minutes virtually any time day or night unless they are running filler show like Anthony Boudain or the like and they will have some negative Trump discussion, story or something negative running across the screen about Trump. Whatever Trump has done or said that day they will find an "expert" who will find fault in it.

Whatever you want to call this sort of journalism it is anti Trump. Fox News and MSNBC have their
philosophies and lean the way they do but CNN tries to pretend the are in the middle and objective. Nothing could be further from the truth.

CNN has been garbage for a while, but I tolerated it up until recently because it was more important to me to get breaking and actual urgent news ASAP. They really fell off a cliff with Trump though. They spend more time tripping over their own two feet trying to bash him. They allow every single one of their "journalists" to go on air and give what are more opinion pieces than news.

Trump is part of it, but the other part is they got Jeff Zucker to run their news division, and he decided to get more like MSNBC and Fox to compete with them for ratings. CNN being in the middle in the cable news field was actually making them the least rated of the three. The problem is that it didn’t work. Their ratings are tanking even farther now.

I personally think they should have stayed in the middle. There is a market for that. Though no one is in the middle now, even network news.

I wonder how I posted two duplicate posts? Honestly don’t know how that happened, and now I cannot delete one of them. Sorry about that.

I quit watching CNN decades (?) ago when they posted up this as the second amendment. I nearly threw something at my TV. There is no way anyone can convince me that was accidental. Leaving out one word, maybe. Leaving out 3 critical, consecutive words, is not an accident.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

I like Axios and One America News Network for now.
