CNN is taking an increasingly negative approach toward its coverage of President-elect Trump, causing at least some tension within the network, inside sources told the Washington Examiner.
Trump, according to a New York Post story, told the network he wasn't happy with their coverage during an off-the-record meeting at his headquarters in Trump Tower this week. Trump critiqued the news media at large during the meeting, but CNN was one of the top targets, according to the Post's report.
Though Trump's team has said the meeting wasn't as tense as the Post's report, two high-level sources at CNN confirmed that their network was a primary target of the president-elect.
"CNN has always pledged to hold Trump accountable and that's what we should be doing," another source told the Examiner. "Since the election, CNN has out MSNBCed MSNBC," the source said, referring to the liberal slant at CNN's competitor. "In the long term, that's a dangerous place to be." thin the network, inside sources told the Washington Examiner. ...

Like any credible news outlet, CNN is expected to scrutinize Trump and his incoming administration. But some inside the network have pointed to recent examples of what they considered to be an excessively hostile stance toward the Republican and his supporters.
During an interview with the New York Times on Tuesday, Trump was asked about his supporters in the so-called "alt-right," a loosely defined nationalist movement in which there is some support for the white supremacy movement.
"I condemn them. I disavow, and I condemn," Trump told the Times during the meeting. He also said he did not want to "energize" them.
But on Tuesday, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer why Trump hasn't disavowed them "more dramatically."
In addition, some of the on-air exchanges with paid CNN contributors who support Trump have left some personnel there feeling uncomfortable.

Credibility is shot...anything they have to say will only be believed by the deranged.
I find it amusing that CNN considers itself “fair” and contrasts itself with MSNBC whom they view as “biased.”
A la carte programming.
I thought TTV (Trump TV) was in the works.
Dead Last Revenues will crash
Digging their own grave.
Had enough with the MSM criminals? Don’t patronize the parent companies: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.
They don't have to be a cable or satellite channel. They can live-stream, and have pre-recorded special shows, for $9.99 a month and be available on Roku, Apple, or Fyre TV.
The time is ripe for an alternative to Fox News. I deleted my Fox app and my bookmarks back in the summer. Fox is part of the leftist MSM now.
CNN employs the alt-left, for example Van Jones.
.... Does this mean that CNN is now the officially Democrat/Obama/Clinton/ sanctioned purveyor of Genuine News ..... AKA .... Fake News?
maybe some of them are wondering how they will feed their families when no one buys their propaganda anymore
See my tagline.
What does it mean when the MSM says they are going to hold Trump “accountable”?
Are they going to make sure he is going to do what he promised; or are they going make sure he is *NOT* going to do what he promised.
I think they are going to hit him either way.

When they are not watching kiddie porn, most “democrats” watch CNN.
Faggot TV ...
It seems that Trump is becoming more popular each day so I think CNN will continue to lose viewers if they stay on this path. I’m comfortable with that.
