1. Fuck off CNN

[sarcasmo]

16. Agreed.

[titaniumsalute]

2. Well shit I hope he is!!

[bigtree]

3. Trump, not yet president, is actively undermining the current president's agenda

...that's far worse than Pres. Obama moving to shore up and preserve the gains he's made.

[spanone]

5. BINGO!!! 👍🏼

there is NO trump agenda until he in sworn in.

[Uponthegears]

6. Exactly

[DURHAM D]

4. CNN is working hard to out fox Fox. nt

[Cracklin Charlie]

9. Do they have Russian ownership?

7. Jan 10th/ Chicago is the expected date/place I have heard for the farewell speech referenced

8. fire em. I did. I downgraded my Satellite Package to the Family Package so I essentially get just

locals. No CNN, no MSNBC, no fox, no CNBC.

There are plenty of places to get news from. Newspapers, BBC, PBS, CSPAN, etc

At least for me, I don't need an overpaid talking head telling me what to think

[stopbush]

12. I don't have the option of dropping them from my Direct TV account

so I just removed all of them from the channels in my playlist. Did that Nov 9, BTW.

[still_one]

15. Actually it is an unadvertised package called the Family Pack. I have DIrectTv, and I called the

day after the election, and they had no problem downgrading me.

You will lose some of their bundled package tier programming though such as TCM, AMC, so it may not be for everyone.

I have no problem though, I wasn't watching that much

Here is the Family Pack lineup for anyone who is interested:

22. You know, unless there's something on there you really want to watch

why not just dump the cable and get the local programs off the air? The market I'm in has over 80 off the air channels, many of them in HD.

You can supplement it with a Roku or similar device to stream what you can't get locally. And after you get a pretty good antenna and buy a streaming device, it's free!

We also have a Netflix and Amazon Prime services and for a fraction of what a cable bill is, you get tons of programming on demand.

[still_one]

23. I could, but I would need to install an antenna on the roof, and I don't really

want to do that. I also have Netflix and amazon prime

[Liberal In Texas]

24. Unless you're in the sticks...

an indoor one works fine. I have several RCA digital flat antennas that work really well. On Amazon for about $17. Or you could upgrade to powered antennas, but I've never thought they work that much better. Been without cable since 2001, and have not missed it.

[still_one]

26. I don't miss it either, and no I am not in the sticks, in the South Bay in California, but in the

past I needed something more than an indoor antenna to pick up San Francisco channels clearly

Thanks for the suggested option

[CentralMass]

27. Im outside if Portland and my flat panel antenna picks up around 25 channels.

[marybourg]

30. You (probably) don't have to install an antenna

on the roof any more. Search "leaf antenna" at Amazon to see the unobtrusive plastic encased "leaf' that tacks onto your wall. Then go to tvfool.com to check your anticipated reception.

[still_one]

32. Thanks

[maryellen99]

13. We're cutting cable too! Cable has normalized Trump nt

[awoke_in_2003]

35. I am cutting next month...

get an AppleTV (or Roku, or any of several other variants out there). Hulu is $7.99 for limited commercials (I went no comms for $11.99 a month). I got Netflix for $8, and Amazon Prime (better selection of movies than Netflix) for $100 a year, but then you get free shipping on items you buy from Amazon, so you save money there. I did this a couple months ago, and am now ready.

[maryellen99]

36. We are just going to have internet plus my husband has an Xbox One

We can stream sling,Netflix,and Hulu from it.

[awoke_in_2003]

38. Yep, any streaming device will work

Short of The Walking Dead (which I just started lately- I binge watched the first six seasons in 3 weeks) I really don't watch any shows. I will probably have to wait a few months after the second half of season 7 end before I can see them. I need to see if the first half is on Netflix yet. I've seen them already, but it may give me an idea how long the delay is.

[a kennedy]

14. D*mn right.....me either.....and it will save me a ton of money.

[LAS14]

20. See reply #18

[smirkymonkey]

10. His agenda is to turn this country in to a third-world hell hole.

Of course an intelligent man like Obama would block it.

[AgadorSparticus]

11. This is why Trump met privately with the media? For this sort of nonsense?

CUT. THE. CORD. People need to take a stand and boycott cable news.

[Blue Owl]

17. You mean Trump's Pinko Agenda?

n/t

[LAS14]

18. So why is this a bad thing?

Why should we not applaud CNN for publishing this???? Did you all actually open the link?

[Phoenix61]

29. It's not

I've read numerous posts where people were asking, "What is Obama doing, or going to do about Trump?" Well, now we know. I hope is is just as busy until the last bitter sweet moment of his presidency.

[gratuitous]

21. We have one president at a time, CNN

And despite what Mitch McConnell wants you to think, that president isn't Donald Trump right now. I know! Blows your mind, doesn't it? Maybe you shouldn't just swallow whatever bullshit McConnell puts out, hmmm?

[erpowers]

25. Expecting Satire

I was expecting this to be a piece by Andy Borowitz. I really did not think this would be a real article.

[pansypoo53219]

28. i KNEW the teevee gnewz were still licking reagan balls. thanks for proving it.

[Lotusflower70]

31. Wow just wow

Good thing I cut off CNN and MSNBC. I am not going to be party to their rationalization and justification of Trump.

[Generator]

33. CNN don't worry only 21 more days

Then you can have your crawl in Russian too.

[renate]

34. I read the story... what am I missing?

"CNN Accuses Obama" sounds like they're taking sides against Obama. I didn't see that at all in the story. They're just talking about things Obama's doing that Trump won't be able to easily undo.

[LAS14]

39. I agree. What's going on here?

[kairos12]

37. CNN is the Bagdad Bob Network for Drumpt.
