Alex Jones is TRASH just like CNN. All CNN wants to talk about is Russian Collusion and Trump this or that, while at the same time leaving out news from the rest of the world. I was watching CNN one time after a big event happened overseas and ALL they kept talking about was Trump Trump Trump and Russia Collusion. I was thinking to myself "Hello, don't you see this big event that happened in xxx country, why don't you report on that like every other news station is doing".

 

Don't get me started on Alex Jones because I can't stand that wacko.

Has CNN become less credible than MSNBC. They have a really bad case of TDS. 

 

I agree on Alex Jones from what I have heard. Never really followed him.

 

I just brought him up to mess with VAL

They did report on the MLK bust being removed from the White House among other fake news.

Those are the kinds of reports that I generally just ignore, no matter what the source.

 

I just don't really care one way or the other about a bust being removed and the "underlying connotation" of what that could mean. That's why in general I prefer news from websites because no one is forcing me to click and read certain articles. I can see the title and think "Don't care" and move on.

 

I haven't watched a news program in maybe 8 or 10 years now. Except perhaps in a hotel room while I'm not paying attention.

Next time you have a chance watch CNN and you will see what we are referring to.

i have no idea. i couldn't care less about cnn. imo, if you think something is fake news or trash - don't pay attention to it. there's way too many options out there to focus on one channel.

for example, at one time i followed occupy democrats on facebook. once i saw a pattern of misleading and sensationalized posts - i stopped following. it's really that simple.

i agree with your way of dealing with fake news/dishonest reporting. its one of the reason i don't care for Sean Hannitys shows. He is always putting up clips or audio on his shows from the mainstream media or some loony celebrity. If I wanted to hear the nonsense CNN or MSNBC were playing….I would just listen to them.

Can't handle American tv news. Seriously, why would anyone subject themselves to such rot?

I agree with you that's why I watch more Aljazeera than I do CNN.

Thank you that was my point. Opinion should not be in need stories aka cnn

Every opinion piece that I recall reading on CNN states very clearly at the beginning that it is an opinion of the person writing the article.

 

Maybe I "self-select" out the junk articles, but at least all the ones I remember recently looking at have all been very clear that it is a opinion. 

 

Again I don't know what CNN does on television though and whether they obscure opinion with fact on their TV show.
