  • Terrible coverage of current events.

    I am getting less and less satisfied with the way CNN is covering the most critical current events. They are not discussing all sides of the issues. I am going to unsubscribe.

  • Unbelievable how you are becoming more and more alarmist. Isn't FOX news enough? You have people literally lying and you allow them to continue. In addition, you invite the LIARS back. It's one thing to allow different viewpoints and quite another to permit liars who shout talk over others.

    If I hear it again, I am done with Blitzer. I don't listen for or from rage/fear. Stop!
