Related: About this forumCNN now all in for grump
Just a friendly fair warning. I have tried to watch a few times and can't stomach it. Worse than fox. From their banner across the bottom declaring grump not in collusion with Russia, to their interview with a repub that assures us that he knows that putin is a very mean, bad man, to their roundtable conversation with all members cheering the orange one, to their complete refusal to report on anything negative about cheetoh during this last week, it is really, really bad.
Don't watch and don't give them ratings, please.

(2,795 posts)I never watched CNN for any length of time because they seemed in the tank for Trump - but pussygate made them turn on him.
They've just gone back to normal now that all of the sexual assaults are a distant memory. Just like the tax returns.

(3,251 posts)It is that simple.
Anybody who thinks otherwise didn't pay attention throughout the primary season.

(2,056 posts)A complete idiot. They said as much after Trump pulled his infomercial stunt. One of the hosts said people had said they showed him too much in the primaries and they were discussing how they did that to show how ridiculous he was but it didn't work.

(3,251 posts)I actually watched ALL of the GOP debates, including the undercards. CNN was 24/7 pro-Trump. He was fawned over and given free interviews practically on a daily basis. I was horrified that none of the other candidates were even given a fair shot. None could get a word in edgewise.
That is because Trump and Zucker were in bed together.

(3,251 posts)That is because of the obvious conflict of interest between the head of CNN, Jeff Zucker, and his buddy Donald Trump.

(16,995 posts)He belatedly admitted it was wrong to give grump months of unchallenged airtime, but I
guess it's not wrong anymore.
