DEAR CNN, WHY ARE YOU SO NEGATIVE? ARE YOU TRYING TO START A RACE OR DOMESTIC VIOLENT RIOT IN AMERICA? WE ALL FIND ID DISGRACEFUL AND WE HAVE BE TURNING YOUR STATION OFF!
Arleen Harris says
Can you please reel in your psychotic anchors. My God listening to them is like hearing rabid dogs daily. Their lies and the hatred is beyond anything I can even imagine. They truly disgust most of us. We don’t watch but see clips of the vile and vulgar lies and comments they spew. It is so shameful. I wish all the shabby news channels would go off the air for at least a week and give us all some sanity. It is so shameful. I would think the owners and people running these stations must or should be so embarrassed
Jaime says
Since CNN irresponsibly chose to hire Jeff Sessions Staff for the News department we have seen CNN become irresponsible, constantly repeating GOP Slanderous talking points. CNN horribly wrote all of its debate questions from GOP talking points. It was NOTICEABLE that CNN refused to do a single question on true foreign policy, Russian, fair elections, net neutrality and more. Jake Tapper made a total fool of himself surrendering all credibility. I will now be a faithful viewer of Free Speech TV as CORPORATIONS LIKE CNN HAVE NO INTEREST IN BEING FAIR, CREDIBLE OR HONEST. THAT TAPPER CONSISTENTLY REFUSED TO ALLOW WARREN TO COMPLETE HER ANSWERS BUT KEPT GOING BACK TO A MAN WITH ZERO PERCENTAGE POINTS IN THE POLLS BUT CAME FROM WALL STREET. OBVIOUSLY CNN PREFERS WALL STREET TO PEOPLE. IF CNN KEEPS THIS UP CNN WILL BE COMPLETE GARBAGE. TAPPER HAS PROVEN TO BE SUCH NOW
enrique monge says
It’s been 2 years since president Trump is been in office downgrading people all over humanity and lying and things not expected from president of united states and all news outlet still talking about what he is doing we all know what he is doing so why keep talking about it every day and night . Can’t something be done about removing this president from office , I know it’s easier said than doing it . Another thing a reporter would ask a question and answers with a lie and the reporter just stand there and do not correct him I get aggravated as to how many lies are told by this president and nobody does anything about it . He is just loose and nobody to account for his actions ,ridiculous
MARK GIORDANO says
DEAR CNN, WHO THERE AMONG YOUR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING TEAM IS LOOKING INTO THE CONNECTION OF JEFFERY EPSTEIN AND BILL CLINTON AND THE OTHER DEMOCRATS WHO RECEIVED WELL OVER $137 MILLION FROM EPSTEIN?

That Punk knew what he was doing, He insulted an elder period. he used MAGA to his advantage their Catholic they aren’t native friendly anywhere besides the Jesuits are the muscle of the Catholic church they weren’t sent in to solve all native problems, he also knew if they wore those hats they would get the president on their side it worked. I hope the lawsuit is presented in front of a Native American Judge, they weren’t insulted they were the bullies period besides they only people there with permits were the Native people there and no one else had the permits to be there, still they want to blame the black people give it up you self entitled spoiled Catholic kids the real world is getting tired of all the entitled folks let’s start with those parents and the private high school
Mary A Noriega says
Oh another liberals opinion.. Hope this young man get’s a bundle of cash from CNN.. Never watch…except when I was a Democrat and believed all the false reporting..Will you even post my comment? Since hatred is what you viewer’s want.
Roxana Hart says
I live in southern Mexico and attempt to watch CNN online. If you care to keep your overseas audience, GET YOUR DELIVERY SERVICE FIXED. The LiveNews people are not doing their job. Not only is service INTERMITTENT at best – cutting in and out and going offline altogether repeatedly, now the picture projected is oversized, so it doesn’t fit into the parameters of the screen. Text and even some of the imagery (people’s faces???) gets cut off. If you are paying for this service, you should cancel it and get your money back. I have begun to turn to other news sources, so if it doesn’t get fixed, you’ll lose me altogether.

DIM JIM ACOSTA — THE BIG MAN BABY !!!
Cindy Gramke says
Love CNN Just wanted to tell you I was watching TV from Las Vegas when that Covington kid was standing and smirking at the Elder Indian and I felt threatened for that little Indian. That boy was very threatening in my opinion. I’m and Irish Catholic taught by Ursuline Nuns from Kentucky and they would have punished us and made us apologize. I’m very disappointed in the student, I guess he gets it from TRUMP MAGA.
Danny says
What an asinine statement… and you let the world see just how asinine you are!

Oh.. Please you are a Catholic.. Do you believe in full term abortion?

Well don’t you feel stupid now that he won the lawsuit against CNN for their lies, made up stories and harassment. Very immature snobby college kids. Parents didn’t teach them a thing. I guess their parents really didn’t care to raise them right.
Larae Ward says
Where is the story when Jim Acosta was confronted with the Angel Moms.
Peggy Bunch says
It has truly been confirmed as of yesterday Jan. 18th that your network has turned into a propaganda fake news no credibility organization. Yesterday it was all about the uncollaborated false Bussfeed lying article & today it’s “crickets.” We, the American people are sick & tired of your daily shameful tactics using “catch phrases” that is repeated like an echo chamber on all fake news networks, including this one. It makes all of you look like a bunch of buffoons. My family will never & I mean never watch any of your programing again until you apologize to the American people & President Trump. Now it would take real courage to do that, but until that is done your organization will be just another “garbage” news network that has lost all credibility. Using Michelle Obama’s comment on Jimmy Fallon’s show “Good Bye Felicia!” Shame, shame, shame on your network! Oh, just a reminder, Hillary Clinton lost the election, get over it!!!!
LINDA says
lincmoody@ yahoo.com I watch CNN through out the day, off and on for many hours. I am extremely disappointed in your coverage of THE CYCLONE in Mozambique. I think I saw only one brief blurb and maybe another mention and that has been it.
Likewise , I only saw coverage of the Ethiopian plane crash as regards to the malfunction of the particular type of plane and it’s past problems. There was little to no coverage or sympathy for the victims and their families.
Where were the reporters on the ground interviewing survivors and local agencies and announcing assistance. Where were the kind words and “Thoughts and Prays”. This is upsetting. I am a retired mother of 2 and this is my first time writing, but do I have to say
it? BLACK LIVES MATTER.
Maybe I’m wrong, but would coverage have been the same had these events happened in British or German flight?
Rudolpho Martinez says
I would like ask Chris Coumo how I can get one of his caps that says Chris Coumo Prime Time? I’am a Vietnam Veteran and I enjoy his program. I’am in Albuquerque, New Mexico
LaWanda Patterson says
I would like to voice a complaint about my experience during CNN tours. the photographer during my visit was rude. She spoke very loud and rude to me in front of other patrons. The whole scene was embarrassing and I was very very angry.
FRAN KOTAK says
Gentlemen; I am a retired commercial Diver and would ask if you could pass my comment on to your Thai Office who could possibly pass it on to the Cave Rescuers of the Soccer Team. I have no way of contacting them directly.
To rescue the soccer players you might consider fabricating a rescue capsule. It could be built from thin walled aluminum pipe. Attached to it could be a surface supplied umbilical incorporated with air line, communication line and lighting/video. The capsule could be built to be pulled up stream, underwater while being assisted by an outside diver. The capsule would have to be made neutrally buoyant with an exhaust valve built in so as not to over pressurize. One of the boys could lay in the capsule, seal it up, and be pulled through the cave passageway like a torpedo I don’t know how many high points there are in the cave you may need more than one built. There is little or no outside water pressure so the focus would be only to keep the passenger calm and dry not so much Hyperbaric Baric Vessel Structural Composition. His mother could talk to him over communications while being towed out to help calm him. I believe this would work…….the monsoon is beginning who knows how much more water will enter the cave. GOOD LUICK! Fran Kotak
BK Shepherd says

Shirley M. Kerman says
I had always liked Rick Santorum and listened to him. However, now that he made that absolutely stupid, idiotic remark about the children learning CPR, I will never waste one second of my time listening to this moron! He better not run for office again. He could not be elected dog catcher. He exposed himself to being a real stupid, dump moron. He has multiple children. I feel sorry for them, having such a real, dump, jerk as a father! He is history as far as I and many, many other people that I know, are concerned. CNN has a big losing jerk as one of its Commentators and the sooner they get rid of him, the better for
CNN, who is losing a faithful observer on any program which carries this stupid moron. Thank you.
russ spangler says
How long can you keep Chris Coumo on the air? The man is full of hate.
Today in referring to the Parkland, Fl. shooting he stated What part of Make America Great Again covers this? How can he , Coumo, blame this on the President? Now he is picking on Sen. Marco Rubio for not coming on his show. Is Fox News getting under his skin? If Fox News viewership continues to grow it is because it is because of your morning anchor.
Find him another job.

Re: Anthony Bourdain show 11/19/17 – a disappointment!! HE bypassed the beauty of Seattle; the outstanding chefs, the enormity of the ports & shipping industry, the unique museums including world famous Chihuly – to focus on marijuana including smoking a joint!!, and a little known singer. A waste of your money, CNN!!
Joe Mahoney says
Just switched on to watch Brooke Baldwin. Watched for abou 30 seconds – she has the unwatchable Ed Martin on.Whoever chose this laughing boy stiff to be a regular on CNN has made a grave error. This is my second email to you guys. This guy is really a jerk and does nothing to advance your network’s professionalism. I’ll continue to tune in and tune out if he’s on a panel
Check with a member of your family and what they think.
michael says
I watch HLN each AM and then CNN….I am deeply saddened by the event in LV…but what about the poor people of Puerto Rico?????….it would seem that the world should still know and be involved in their lives…..are we only concerned with what’s happening NOW….the rest seems to get put aside for the show…ALL the news should be reported not just the headlines….are you a news company or talk show….GOD we have enough of those….thanks for listening
Frederick McIntosh says
Would someone remind the victims relatives
that the lone-guman had a right to purchase
these weapons, that’s not meant for hunting
animals. The Second Amendment (2nd), pro
vides he or she this right.How you use
this right who knows, wether you angry,
mentally-ill, who know this. What I do know
we can stop hiding behind the 2nd amendment.
That Amendment is dated and have no place in
the USA today. Our leaders need to stop giving a
half-hearted address to this matter. Simply put
no one should be allowed to pocess these weapons, other than Gov’t, etc
Angel says
Where are the CNN overseers?
Anthony Bourdain should be fired for making a remark about poisoning our sitting President.
This is an absolute disgrace and completely unacceptable. Bourdain is a disgrace of a man and I’ll never watch his show. He should be fired.
Mrs. B. Elms says
I’ve been seeing more and more of a divergence in your and my opinions and am beginning to believe your corporate stance is deeply rooted in values I feel are undermining America.
I was surprised this week to observe your references to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s list of people/organizations categorized as “extremist” or “hate groups”. The SPLC itself is more of what I think of when the phrase “hate group” comes up – someone whose rhetoric has caused bodily harm or character defamation to others. Best I can tell, they are willing to vilify any person or organization that doesn’t agree with them, even when it is completely non-violent with no record of any aggression. Aren’t they the very ones the Justice Department said some time ago ‘had gone too far’?
Your willingness to give voice to such an organization on your airwaves makes me unwilling to trust you further for news reports.
This is where we part ways.
Linda says
You must be one who ignores or sanctions racism. Right wing extremist and those obsessed with stockpiling guns are America’s biggest threat.
None of Ur business says
Your so called network is nothing but a HATE organization. You allow people on there that incite riots, condone riots and HATE AMERICA. You need to get your priorities straight or you will be eliminated. This is AMERICA and WE THE PEOPLE will take you off the air.
BIPIN ENGINEER says
I enjoy watching CNN since the time of Walter Cronkite, during which time, CNN used to show the name and the Media/Agency of questioning reporter, on the screen, at the white house briefing. Currently it is not being shown.
American people sill appreciate if CNN resume showing name and the Agency of questioning reporter on the screen.
Kindly discuss this point with the appropriate authority to make suggested changes.
Thanks,

The commercials with Don Lemon/Sean Hayes, and the one with the tweets re. “The History of Comedy” are hilarious! I was living for this series;
( because I love comedy, and I think I’m pretty funny ) and VERY upset, weekly, when they didn’t play due to Donald Trump’s shenanigans EVERY Thursday. Thanks for getting it going again. I’m confident we’ll get to see it uninterrupted– Trumpster, as I call hIm, usually only works Monday through Thursday…..
Bruce Wyman says
I want to thank you all for trying, under constant attack, to report accurate and unbiased, the news about the news worthy events that are happening in our country. Many of us see, under the Trump administration, a daily river of lies and pathological distortions of the laws and values that are the basis for our democracy.
I watch your show daily because it is an intelligent account of the news. I can see the tremendous effort, on your part, to report the news accurately while Trump supporters bully, lie, and distort the truth to validate their own power agenda. If not CNN then who?
My Father spent 3 years fighting the XXXX regime in the European theater and I am deeply shocked and saddened because it appears that the constitutional rights that he and so many others fought and died for are very quickly disappearing under Mr. Trump’s administration.
There is no doubt in my mind that under Mr. Putin’s guidance of Mr. Trump, we are descending into a new power coalition/republic between the United States and Russia. I believe this is all well planned and is being carried out, so far, successfully.
These are our darkest days since the Civil War divided our country ideologically between individual freedom and the enslavement. Thank you, again, for being a voice of truth, reason, and a higher standard for democracy.
Your an idiot says
Are you sh**ting me, how is that returning the power to the people is taking away the constitution. The democratic party the party of communist and socialist, just like stalin and Hitler. Its surprises me every day how dumb people are, it’s like the move idiocracy is coming true more and more every day.
sc copeland says
CNN please get your act together and report the truth vs reporting bias opinions or lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!–i.e.the morning team-Chris and Alyison
Senior Mgt at CNN really need to manage their reporters where they focus on the American People real needs vs being an extension of the democratic party who has demonstrated they have lost sight of the American interest.
CNN owes a large apology to the Americans for reporting “fake news”! and stop be a one party show vs where you need to be a news network for all people!! Please move on and stop being part of the problem!
Lynn says
You have been brainwashed by Fox News. The Republican Party is destroying this country. Under your party, lies, bullying, racism, pettiness, hypocrisy and everything else is acceptable. It’s as if there are no 10 commandments. Evangelicals accept anything and everything from your leaders. You voted against your own best interest. You need healthcare, free college, social security, affordable homes etc… You put your last hope in a white supremacist hoping that he can help you maintain control as the country changes and you become the minority.
