Granted, we are in a recession and all media outlets have trimmed staff, but CNN REALLY Needs a fact checker. Since Israel began the bombing of Gaza last week, the Cable Nonsense Network has been doing its best to spread misinformation about Gaza War. CNN's Lies included blaming Israel for breaking the cease fire and accusing Israel of not letting necessary medical supplies into Gaza. But then again, CNN has never been big on the truth:

Everyone knows that CNN is our version of Al Jazeera, they are extremely Pro-Palestinian. That’s why in Israel they refuse to watch that network

CNN is not worth discussing.
They are worth boycotting.

The scary thing is that most of the population will believe everything that CNN tells them. As a result, blood and chaos will continue to spread across the world and there is no hope of ending it.

I can't speak for other alleged freepers, but I haven't watched CNN in at least ten years.

Me either... Literally cannot remember the last time I tuned to CNN. Heck, I don't even know if my Direct TV feed includes it, I guess it does, but who cares? (All I really care about is NFL Sunday ticket ;-)

“...not letting necessary medical supplies into Gaza...”

Are you referring to former congresswoman McKinney and a yacht filled with CNN reporter types that left Cypress supposedly filled up with humanitarian supplies for Gaza?

And then they tried to run through an Israeli naval blockade.

This evening CNN anchor Don Lemon was an utter disgrace portraying tear-jerk accounts from Gaza residents etc. One resident called the Israel ground plan “a crime against humanity” and this was allowed to go unchallenged when indeed crimes against humanity is the cold-blooded targeting of innocent civilians which Hamas and Hezbollah have perfected. But CNN is an utter disgrace. It’s truly the Hussein network.

I watch CNN from time to time. It’s interesting to me to see what version of the news is being presented. When overseas, most hotels have CNN International, which is even more liberal. That and BBC are the two biggest. Fox is making some market penetration internationally though.

I wonder if/when the fairness doctrine comes into law (hope not) can it be used against TV news casts?

Just wondering.

It is easy to understand the CNN reporting. Terrorists=democrats...Israel=Republican.
Same slant
Same template

CNN is so outdated. Expect massive layoffs as advertising revenues must be shrinking daily. And not only do they lie a lot, they never bring in any new blood. Like, man, who wants to look at wolf blitzer every day for two decades?! Apparently not too many people! Same old ugly characters, day in and day out for decades! NO wonder the are losing viewers in droves!
