I'm too lazy to simply type CNN ^ | Feb.12,2018 | BREITBART NEWS

Me too. CNN was all we watched on deployment.

CNN has made two fundamental errors:

First, the word news has a critical element: three of the four letters are required, that is, the information has to be new.

Day after day they drone on and on with another panel of “experts” gnawing on the same topic.

Second, they have violated the most sacred rule of public personalities: they are boring. Being boring is the surest way of being shunned.

The honesty targets they’ve missed far outnumber the missed revenue targets.

They could boost their ratings if they let us vote on who goes.

They really should demand more money from the DNC, they’re working too cheap.

A note to the 50, Don’t Cry and Don’t Cuss, because more will follow.

Why is the Communist news network worrying about money? Could it be because Americans love the USA and hate propaganda?

CNN is a big reason I dropped cable tv in 2007. Half of CNN’s revenue is from cable subscriber fees.

If you have cable tv, you are supporting CNN and the other cable channels that are part of the Left Media Cartel even if you don’t watch those channels.

When Cox tries to sign me up, I always ask if they have a la carte programming. I may reconsider if they ever do but I really don’t miss it.

Don’t forget many conservative outlets have also downsized in the past few years.

When you look at what they did during the election would be highly questionable anything they do......including faking rating numbers.

They need to change their name from Cable News Network (CNN) to Cable Opinion Network (CON)...

CNN hires democrat operatives then they expect them not to share debate questions... and a thousand other stupidities... You’re right - they’re just not trustworthy.
