Shouldn’t they drop the first “N,” not the second?

Back in the early 80’s they weren’t bad but went down hill fast after that!

They should change from CNN to CNW for Cable Nutcases Working.

No hey problema. I had to read the original article twice myself to realize the author had the wrong “N”

These people are the ideological descendants of Moa, Stalin and Hitler. What with their love of gun control, population control and total government control of every aspect of people’s lives. At least they give SOME passing acknowledgement of how evil Mao, Stalin And Hitler were. Maybe some day they’ll come to see Castro, Guevara and Chavez as such.

the bulk of their audience is stuck watching them on mute while paying inflated prices for food in airports.
The article nailed two of the eight-seven reasons I hate air travel. ;-)
CNN is enemy propaganda--pure and simple.

That second N is Network...which is what got them this way is the first place. Maybe if they dropped the Network they currently are owned by and were bankrolled by another “better” Network...if such a thing exists, they could finally live up to being News.

I’ve said this years ago. Fox News should be included in this to be fair too.
My main point wasn’t so much about the editorializing and punditry being lack of “journalism”. It’s all true, but not even the higher point, which is that it’s NOT NEWS! It’s wall to wall political discussion.
The punditry and editorializing are just a symptom of the problem. They exist to broadcast politics, not news.
Don’t give me the BS that politics is news. It would perhaps be true that politics should dominate a news cycle only right before an election. Let’s not quable about when “right before” starts. You, I, and everyone knows these networks only exist to exert politic influence on their audiences.
Do an audit of CNN.
Remove all commercial/advertising time and any time spent showing intros, graphics, banners, etc, and strictly audit content output.
Publish the percentages of content type.
Unless there is a significant news item occurring (hurricane Dorian is something that would tilt the numbers toward news for example) then politics will dominate the stats

Journalists in newsrooms like The AP and CNN are trained to tread very carefully when entering the realm of speculation. The goal is to gather facts, not advance a political agenda.ROTFLMAO!

I see CNN at the gym. About that time it’s the extended version of the Two Minute Hate with Fredo and Don Lemon.
