This Is CNN

[tres bien]

CNN covers every tragic story like a mini series. They give it a title, creepy music and put John Berman or Erin Burnett, etc on the ground for days

I can't watch this for hours and days on end. The politics coverage is over the top too. OMG I'm watching Catchy TV to escape reality 🙁

As far as the return of Stelter. I was never a fan of the show after Howard Kurtz left. But I don't think CNN has a clue. They dump him to cut costs or something just to bring him back in exact same role? You guys are never going to figure out how to right this sinking ship

And BTW shame on them for everything disgusting from the "town hall" with Trump to the way they handled the June debate to the interview with VP

True! I had thought with new leadership, that things would get back to normal, but CNN is still fumbling. WITW is going on with this network?

How long ago was that "town hall"? 

Doesn't VP deserve an invitation

CNN adding a paywall to CNN.com articles. Ugh

No more online articles from CNN for me. Plenty of other news outlets.

I’m so over them

The only way I'd pay for CNN digital content is if it came without the deluge of pop-ups and ads that I currently have to suffer when visiting the site.

I use Adblock on my phone and computer.

Don’t write them off completely. It sounds like it pertains only to certain things

I really like CNN's website; it covers news from around our country; around the world (I love the archaeological stories); some entertainment, etc. It would be sad to see this go because I will not pay to read it. Sadly, the political news will probably still be free.

I do go there, especially in this political season. When I get something clickbaity from some other more partisan site, I check cnn.com to see if it really happened.

They are not without their bias, but if anyone knows a more straight down the middle, neutral source, please tell me!

@Palimelon, I use Adblock also, and it helps, but not enough.

Strange, mine works pretty well, even on Youtube's website.
