When you demonize 70% of the nation/potential audience, bad things tend to follow. Hillary Clinton found this out in 2016. CNN could have learned, but instead, continued to push their hate filled narratives and message. Anybody else want to take a jab at whitey??

CNN International is quite a bit different than domestic CNN. Some European countries have balanced reporting laws.

They can't have more than 2 minutes go by until they are bashing Trump. I hope CNN goes bankrupt for all the poisonous cra* they are spewing out of their mouths. They are NOT a news organization. They are a bitter, torturous JOKE and they deserve to be shut down.

This all came to a screeching halt when Clinton was elected and he spent the majority of his time railing on Clinton and dropped most of the other content, it was at that point I tuned out.
"actually sorta reminds me of Rush Limbaugh"


You DO know there are MANY LIBERAL talk radio shows.

Let’s put this into perspective.

Fox has about 2.4 million viewers on a good night.

The America’s Got Talent Recap had 6.8 viewers.

Netflix has 151 million subscribers.

Or, in another perspective that Boob Tube watchers may be able to understand.

CNN.COM is either the leading news site in the country or in the top 3.

(maybe people use this newfangled inter web?)

#1 (after reddit which is not really news)....

Higher ranking than Google News!

Sorry, OP, what's next? Telling us that the Town Crier is yelling "Fox and Rush"?

And since FOX is at the top of the news stations, all that tells me is that most people don’t watch news. They would rather watch a guy play the trumpet using his feet.

Yes. They are very good at getting their links out there in social media. I often click on them, myself. Usually there are tons of anti-CNN comments in the comments section.

...Maybe they should stick with that.
