GOODBYE CNN.

The last 30 days have been nothing short of a public relations nightmare for CNN.
The network is reeling after a brutal stretch that has seen two hosts taken off-air, one story retracted and another rewritten, accusations of staged protests, the resignations of three key employees and most recently, an ongoing series of undercover videos meant to portray CNN as misleading the public about the Trump-Russia stories that have dominated media coverage of the president so far.
On May 30, TMZ published images of CNN’s New Years Eve co-host, Kathy Griffin, taking part in a photoshoot with a mock severed head of President Trump. The story quickly blew up. Influential news aggregator Matt Drudge placed CNN’s ties to Griffin front and center on his site, the Drudge Report.
CNN cut ties with Griffin the next day, May 31, but it was too late to effectively distance the network from the media tornado surrounding Griffin’s actions. On June 3, the phrase “CNN is ISIS” trended on Twitter after Infowars host Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist who has long supported Trump, offered $1,000 to “anyone who is seen on TV with a ‘CNN is ISIS’ t-shirt or sign.”
That same day, June 3, CNN host Reza Aslan — who has eaten human brain on live television — called Trump a “piece of shit” and an “embarrassment to humankind.” (CNN has since cancelled Aslan’s show.)
Two days later, on June 5, CNN was forced to address claims that it “staged” a Muslim anti-ISIS protest after video emerged of CNN reporter Becky Anderson directing protesters where to stand with their signs. Drudge featured an article from right-wing blog The Gateway Pundit about the video titled, “SHOCK VIDEO: CNN Creates #FakeNews in London Following Terror Attacks, Stages Anti-ISIS Muslim Protesters.”

What do you mean "meant to portray"??? What the hell else could it portray? Sonofa.....how I hate milquetoast Conservatives.
What about the country’s 30 year or so nightmare of having this commie network blaring false information and rat propaganda at us 24/7?
Month long? I would say years and years long. How about decades?
I bet CNN is wishing it could get back to the days of reporting on the disappearance of MH370. Then Don Lemon was asking a guest if the plane disappeared into a black hole. Today it’s their network that’s about to fall into one.
Does CNN still have the “International” version? IIRC, it was a much, much worse anti-American network than the domestic CNN.
Way back in the 90’s, it earned the moniker of the “Clinton News Network.” Little has changed, it seems.
CNN.
Their corruption is the tip of the iceberg.
Go to Yahoo website. It is as anti republican let alone anti Donald Trump as CNN.

BTW Carl Bernstein of watergate fame who failed to see anything wrong with the Clintons or obamas says the following:
Carl Bernstein calls for ‘different kind of reporting’ to take on ‘malignant presidency’

If you had to animate the last month between Trump and CNN using two fighting figures representing each, the one in the CNN trunks would be getting his ass kicked.
Why doesn’t the White House restrict CNN from any White House press briefing’s? I mean why are these guys allowed even in the room to ask questions?
GOODBYE CNN.
Winning!!
Stop by CNN and tell them what you think!

Since they called President Trump a d!c*, I tell them they’re *unts. All’s fair in love and war.
How about we keep the time frame to about a year and then have CNN go out of business at that point?
