ATLANTA, Georgia — Protesters stormed the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia chanting “No more fake news!” at the network’s headquarters to demand an end to the fake news stories about President Trump’s administration. CNN, most recently, has been engulfed in fake news scandals, as well as getting caught for targeting the creator of an anti-CNN internet meme. The scandals have resulted in at least three CNN employees resigning and forcing the corporation to retract Russia-related stories.
Brian Maloney of the Media Equalizer told protesters outside CNN’s headquarters that the corporate media giant puts down Americans and Trump supporters.
“They are laughing at us, but we are fighting back,” Maloney said. “Americans are standing up and saying that we have absolutely had enough.”
“No more fake news! No more fake news,” the protesters chanted.
Debbie Dooley, an organizer of the protest, said she wants companies that advertise with CNN to be held accountable for the “very fake news” that has been produced.
“We the people can do this,” Dooley said. “We worked hard to elect Donald Trump. That was just the beginning. We need to continue to fight. We need to continue to take it to the Resist movement. And we depend on Breitbart to give us the truth.”
“CNN, no more fake news and if you continue to do so, we’re going to be out here every month until you report unbiased news,” Dooley said.
The protest against CNN came after the media corporation was slammed for a multitude of scandals. Most recently, three CNN employees were forced to resign, as Breitbart News reported, after releasing a Trump-Russia collusion story that ended up being unfounded.

Baldwin and Burnett really believe what they read.
I wasn’t invited to this protest. I protest the protest.
No place deserves a FAKE NEWS protest more than Amazon’s Washington Post.
It seems over half the fake news narrative originates at Amazon’s Washington Post. They’re worse than CNN and the NYT. I am past sick of their BS.
“...a Trump-Russia collusion story that ended up being unfounded.” No, they have all been unfounded. The difference is that these clowns were caught in a flat-out lie and couldn’t weasel out of the fact.
Okay, all in good time.
No reason to dilute the effect of a protest.
So much more effective to have 200 people at one protest than 5 or 10 at a couple dozen locations, even if they’re all due for the blow.
WaPo’s turn will come. May even be better to let ‘em watch for it for a while.
(Besides, I’ve got a damn three-day drive to get to DC and I WILL NOT miss givin’ that bunch my “best”.)
No longer the Washington Post.
Now the Bezos Post.
Similarly, no longer the NY TIMES.
Now the Carlos Slim TIMES.
Good on those protesters. Enough is enough, and I ma sick of their crap.
I appreciate the effort to expose CNN as fake news. They are very deserving of it.
I just didn’t want the Amazon Washington Post to be left off the future list. They don’t seem to get as much blame as they deserve.
Conservative protests are so civil.
If you dont like what Bezos is feeding you, go to Whole Foods and let everyone know.
I avoid Amazon as much as possible. I find the same items so often on Walmart.com and cheaper. The mousse I use is $9.54 on walmart and $14 on amazon. Definitely hit walmart first. I do look at amazon for reviews of items, then flip back to walmart. Well worth the time to double check. And I don’t like WaPo, so that helps.
I’ve never really used Walmart.com. I do shop their stores and Sam’s Club on occasion so I know some of their pricing.
I just went to both sites and some items cheaper on Jet.com and some cheaper on Walmart.com. They’re both owned by Walmart but the pricing isn’t always the same. Both offer $35 free delivery.
I will check out the Walmart.com site a little more often now.
