CNN is fake news.

Especially compared to other news sources?

Just one of the bunch that spins the news they report based on their bias, in their case, left.

I remember the old days when CNN became famous during the first Gulf War with Wolf Blitzer, Bernie Shaw, and Peter Arnett reporting live from Bagdad. And watching CNN Headlines news at lunch each day. Back then, CNN rose to prominence as a major worldwide news source.

With the rise of Fox News as a voice for conservatives, CNN has noticeably shifted to be a mouthpiece for liberals and the Democrats. It's astounding to watch alternate shows on Fox and CNN and see how they report about the same issues, or how they completely neglect and subvert stories important to conservatives that might detract from liberal causes, whether Bengazi or Hunter Biden's emails. Yes, Fox overplays their take on things, but if CNN is true critical journalism as it claims to be, it should've investigated and reported on issues like those.

I don't even bother to listen to Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, or Chris Cuomo. They are nothing but mouthpieces for Biden and the Democrats just like Tucker, Hannity, and Ingraham are for Trump and the Republicans. CNN is as biased for the left as Fox is for the right. It's no wonder that conservatives think anything but Fox is fake news.

No journalism, just activism. Don't waste your time. Same goes Fox news and the rest of them.

I like Cuomo.

It's sensationalized for the most part and the all caps BANNER HEADLINE BREAKING NEWS ticker is laughable.

Communist News Network has always been anti-white (in the name of equality) like all other big mainstream media outlets owned by jews, it's really no surprise

KK, what are you going to do since you are losing your White Nationalist Demagogue ?!?

Harris is a Black Globalist Demagogue ??

Not good.

Kate Bolduan ?

then you like a liberal jerk who thinks he is smarter than 95%of America

The best American news network I’ve seen.

We get CNN and Fox here on satellite and everyone laughs at Fox News.

Fake News is a term invented by Trump. Kelly Ann Conway tried to cover for his lie after lie by publically calling his lies "alternative facts." A few weeks later Trump told journalists that he had to smear the media constantly and instill doubt in his minions so "when they point out my mistakes and the bad things I do no one will believe it. It wll all be Fake News."

CNN is the first place I go to check on major news or confirm news from a less known source.

^ Fake News. The term "Fake News" was originally invented by the Washington Post in November 2016.

CNN is simply not the left equivalent of trash that is Fox News. Yes, CNN has issues when it comes to their home page and US news, but that seems to be in no small part because of the insane world you Americans now live in. However, simply step outside your little box and you can do so on CNN by clicking on the top banner that says "World", thereafter you see a list of countries/regions which you can choose (Africa, Americas, Asia etc.) and you will get news stories from around the world that isn't about US politics. There is simply no equivalent on Fox. On Fox, you can click on "More" and you can get to a section called "World" but under it has titles like "Scandals" "religion" and "Disasters" - it's not news, it's sensationalist crap. And that's all Fox is, right wing Trump propaganda or click bait articles for idiots.

Don't get me wrong, I do not like CNN and as a non-American I certainly do not go to them for my news, but the failings of CNN are nowhere near the garbage heap that is Fox "news". You have to have no self respect or just be a complete idiot to look to Fox for any sort of information.

This is incorrect. The head of Buzzfeed takes credit for inventing the term in 2014 but it was Trump who popularized it to discredit journalists who investigated and called out his lies. He claimed that he had to discredit jouralism in order not to be exposed. His words!

News stations, newspapers, magazines, and news in general had to provide FACTS and sources of their stories until in '84 when Reagan signed an executive order that Fox News was 'entertainment' and no longer had be factual. Murdock prompted him to do so and promised support for Reagan and the GOP if he complied. It was win-win. Of course his executive order applied to out news from that point.

Fox sued Twitter earlier this year because "it is their RIGHT to lie."

I do not see CNN or Fox as objective news sources.

I think both networks modify their rhetoric and tabloid presentations to maintain a roughly 50/50 split of advertising revenue. Sort of like the Vegas sports book sets their lines.

No matter to me . This recent season has confirmed that I’m better off without both. None of them see themselves as journalists but rather as television stars. We all suffer because of it.
