The Cable News Network (CNN) is an American basic cable and satellite television news channel owned by the Turner Broadcasting System division of Time Warner.[2] It was founded in 1980 by American media proprietor Ted Turner as a 24-hour cable news channel.[3] Upon its launch, CNN was the first television channel to provide 24-hour news coverage,[4] and was the first all-news television channel in the United States.

I really enjoy mustard. I'm TOTALLY pro-condiment!
 
Was there an actual point you were trying to make?

I don't know what he was trying to say with the post either, I usually just let whatever is said about CNN go the other way seeing as they were basically used as Clintons political watch dogs during the election period. That, and the network has been the worst offender of the "Fake News" epidemic in this country for a long time. Not to mention censoring Trump supporters, and letting Clinton supports just spill all kinds of hate out of their mouths to no end. On top of that their integrity has dropped so low that they are inclined to get most of their own news, and reports from Buzzfeed.

I had respect for this network a long time ago, but now with their own attacks on free speech, and the like.

I am sorry to say no, the Clinton news network has lost all sense of the word journalism.

If you believe all that about the original cable news network would like to hear your views on fake news channel fnc aka Fox News.

While CNN may have been a news network under the leadership of Ted Turner back in the day, it has long since ceased to be one. It should more accurately be renamed the Continuous Indoctrination Network as it pushes "news" with an agenda and ignores many real news stories which need to be reported. It ignores the world and indulges in 24-hour political navel-gazing and political punditry. In my opinion it is almost worthless as a news source and just as useless as a window into the American gestal. I pine for real news coming out of America but there is so very little to find. Better to follow Breitbart and Democracy Now and to appreciate the cultural, political and moral fragmentation of an increasingly schizophrenic super-power as it unconsciously but wilfully slides beneath the waves like a new Atlantis. Maybe it's just irony that CNN was based in Atlanta for so long?

What are Americans thinking that they let this kind of "news" indoctrinate and by extension infect them willingly. They're a smart people but in this regard they seem to have a continent-wide blind-spot. So, why do Americans tolerate this poison being poured into their ears by much of the MSM, like a digital remake of Hamlet on a society-wide scale? As an outsider, looking into the grand fishbowl of the great American Republic, I am befuddled and depressed to see this process unfold.

Cheers?

I have no idea what the point of this thread is...exactly.

But I do remember a time when I watched CNN Headline News a TON. Often, I would have it on in the background of whatever I was doing. Later, it was BBC World News.

That was a LONG time ago, however.

It is no longer the same animal and news is SO different from those days.

The internet has completely changed news for me...for the better.

So you liked them until they criticized the God-Emperor?

No, I liked them until they started whoring out their own integrity for the benefit of a specific political party. Going so far as to lie through their own teeth on many of the issues that came to light, not to mention trying to bury the word of the opposition in all its descriptions.

Say when they were interviewing that former Marine, who had broken into a car to pull out a child after the mother locked said child in there, on a day that it reach 102' degrees.

They blurred out his shirt that said, "Trump - Pence" while cutting his segment short by several minutes to leave out his answers on their questions about Trump "when they didn't get a satisfactory answer". Only for them to let Maxine Waters have about 30mins later in the week to rant about white supremacy, and bigotry at the hands of Trump, and his whole constituency.

So no, they can say all the want about the man, but when you lose all objectivity in the "so called" pursuit of truth. You have failed to be a news network, and have just turned into Clinton's rent a bitch.

Well the lair in chief likes crying baby's so you should fell right at home with the rest of the GOP
Trump responds to crying baby - CNN Video as you focus on fake news stories while a fake President continues to lie his as off to you.

Meanwhile in other news

The moment anyone with half a brain see's CNN on the tag, or even related to that video. They will already know that they are getting at most a quarter of the actual story. Not to mention some of the worst photos they can managed to take of Trump, along with doing their best to take anything he says out of context.

By depending on them to make a point, you have lost all credibility in this debate.

But its good you added Trump when you said Liar in Chief, because I though you were talking about Obama, Bush, Clinton.. etc. It appears that one of the main qualifying attributes of a politician has slipped you're mind.

Well the majority of Americans lost when this election was stolen.

So it just boils down to the fact that democracy is a great thing, but only if it works in you're favor?

Then again no one can prove that the election was stolen "barring all attempts from the Democratic party as well" despite the underhanded tactics they deployed in California, and the like. The conversation always comes back to people whining about the damn election.

It was an election, that's the way they turn out sometimes. The quicker you realize that, the quicker you can move on about it.

:btw - secure connections do not allow for many video hosting sites to be shown, so whatever you tried to post here is not coming up.

Bs. I voted for Bush in 2000 and surely he stole that election it's just what the GOP does it's their nature. Only reason I voted for Bush was because gore was a punk.

In the meantime time today's top story.

Why is it that people keep forgetting the electoral college? Why?

It was established by our constitution of all things, though seeing how the things are going around today. Its a wonder how some of the younger generation know what the constitution is at all. Bush won by one of the closest margins in history. I know, I voted for the dumbass myself. Hell I served under him, and met the guy... not the best moment of my life to be honest.

But it was basically the same thing that happened with the 2016 election. The vote was too close so it went to the electoral college. Same song, same dance, different dancers.

No-one has forgotten about it yet it only come into play when the GOP steals elections look it is what it is go a head start some new wars have no domestic agenda continue to lie to your base yourself and the rest of the Americans. Your party in modern day history is a disgrace to this nation.
 
Anyone ever wonder what the world would be like today if Gore had prevailed in the 2000 election?
 
Say what you want about CNN, but we know half the stuff we found out about Trump, Manaforte, Flynn, Nunes, etc., through them alone.

And for that they're worth their weight in gold! No different than WaPo in '72.

You're not going to hear these stories on Fox, nor read them in Breitbart (and you won't even get close to hearing about them from the administration). Think about that.
