  • No longer reporting the news

    I have been a loyal viewer/listener of this show for years. But they are reporting less and less of what is going on! This morning’s show reported Trump at the Commander’s game and talked about him like he was a child enjoying a trip to go get ice cream. They didn’t report the over two full minutes of booing or the fact that he couldn’t even read the things given to him to say to the fans. Our so called President is not supported by the people and he is crumbling before our eyes. But what was re... more

  • Shame on you

    CNN and its hosts should be ashamed of themselves! I have lost all respect for what I once thought was a venerable news organization. Legitimizing Trump’s use of the National Guard and military as a “political tactic” is disgusting and inexcusable. You’re not journalists. You’re sycophants who care only about not upsetting our dictator. All hail Trump at CNN. I have been listening to this coverage for days and can’t believe how weak and pathetic you all are. Sad and disgusting!

  • CNN is as bad as FOX

    I used to feel like CNN was trustworthy. They are 90% garbage and 10% useless now. F them. Especially Dana and Jake.

Patel Grilled by Senate

Q: What is the administration's justification for broadening the arrest net beyond the 'worst of the worst'?
