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.

Yeah, deleting your app - that's really going to scare them.

Write an angry letter - or comment - or tweet.

Actually, when more and more people start coming around and seeing them for what they are, it will scare them when ratings and click/ad traffic ceases...

The show mainly deals with race related issues. People who tune in are going to be hearing about race related issues, that's the topic at hand by Kamau Bell on most of his shows. It has absolutely nothing to do with the CNN national or international news. 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)

Comment? LOL. They disabled the comments sections a long time ago. To many people pointing out the holes in their "news" articles.

It was on the front page of my phone CNN app. I don't really watch much TV.

I'd say that 95% or more of the news I've seen the last 3 decades is from CNN.

Honestly the best way to tell a news or entertainment source you don't like them anymore is simply not to watch. I have not watched much of CNN for maybe 15 years. I used to love Headline News when it was more headlines. Back when they'd give all the news every thirty minutes. News, not views. I'd also suggest not making a lot of threads about them, whoever it may be, because someone is going to decide to watch to either see what you're talking about or to see what's going on. Any click CNN or any other news source gets is a click for their advertising and marketing department. Folks in advertising do not care if you are clicking on a source because you like the source of you don'tlike the source.

Um, that's what I finally decided.

As of now, I have no news app on my phone.
