Read CNN's response to Trump's accusations of false reporting
CNN ^ | January 11th, 2017 | Unattributed

Posted on 01/11/2017 10:39:20 AM PST by Mariner

(CNN)CNN's decision to publish carefully sourced reporting about the operations of our government is vastly different than Buzzfeed's decision to publish unsubstantiated memos. The Trump team knows this. They are using Buzzfeed's decision to deflect from CNN's reporting, which has been matched by the other major news organizations.

We are fully confident in our reporting. It represents the core of what the First Amendment protects, informing the people of the inner workings of their government; in this case, briefing materials prepared for President Obama and President-elect Trump last week.

"CNN is shown in airports, waiting areas, and other public places."

I unplug those TV's when I am able.

CNN knew, ‘yellow’ journalism at it finest...they are dirty, they are loosers (losers), they lie when it fits their plans, always have...

They got caught yesterday, and was called out to the world today...along with Donna Basille handing Hillary debate questions, along with ‘fake polls’ in the campaign, they have been squidded and now cannot go any lower...they are at the bottom of the ‘feeder’ now with buzzfeed, salon, Huffy Post, and the lot of them...

They used to be able to ‘pull the wool over our eyes and ears’ they can't anymore, even if their paychecks come from foreign governments, we do not listen, and we do not watch...

‘Yellow’ Journalism is done for, they mean nothing, their printed matter isn't fit for ‘fish wrap’ or ‘bird cage liner’ anymore as we think more of the ‘fish’ and ‘birds’ than to associate it with them...

Bye Bye, your gone, your done, and you can leave with Barky...and don't let the door hit you on the way out!!!

If CNN keeps this kind of carefully sourced reporting going, it won’t be long before CNN becomes TNN.

“CNN is shown in airports, waiting areas, and other public places.”

I spend a lot of time in public places. Mostly airports.

Usually the tv’s are tuned to a realty and home improvement channel. I don’t know what its called. I just know I get house envy when I sit there for hours watching it.

CNN is shown in airports, waiting areas, and other public places. They need to divest themselves of CNN.

Get them out of the airports. Get them out of the train stations.

Trump needs to tell the TSA that CNN is not to be allowed in Airports and bus terminals because they report fake news which is damaging to the Republic.

We need to chop off a few media corporations heads to show them we are sick of their manipulation.

If Trump effectively cuts them off as far as contact with the White House, that’s gonna kill their ratings. I wonder how long they will last.

CNN is full of Obama.

Our local “news” channel links “news” to CNN. None of it is even news. It’s all objective driven speculation with “unnamed sources,” “experts believe,” or their favorite, “there are some.”

They don’t report. They don’t investigate. They only interview other reporters.

Any mention by CNN of their feeding debate questions to Hillary Clinton via Donna Brazile? or other emails naming CNN reporters of being part of the Clinton for president team? Their “fake news” credentials didn’t begin with this current story.

Deny C(fake)NN a pass for the WH, and then deny passes for any other organization that assists C(fake)NN in evading this by passing on video from WH press briefings, etc....
