Reviews and Complaints

Highly offensive/misoginistic/pruient commercial:
In a (wonderful pistachios) commercial featuring a large adult male elephant speaking while on his back referring to 'girls' doing anything and I mean anything for pistachios... Disgusting
A large male elephant describes a party scene from the previous evening and describes "girls" doing anything for pistachios. The reference is clearly being made by an adult, male, large animal, on his back discussing 'girls' as doing anything & I mean anything for pistachios. Whomever wrote this commercial clearly intends to say that 'girls' will do anything in other words, prostitute themselves for pistachios.
This is an obscene commercial and implies that girls should even prostitute themselves for an adult animal. Not funny and pruient by the supreme court definition.

As a news viewer I can no longer watch you channel due to the coverage of the president. I understand that CNN does not like our president but you should be respectful to the office of the president. What are you teaching our young people in our world. Deal with he won and cover stories fairly. You just lost one viewer and I plan on not coming back.

Today is the 18th anniversary of 9-11. Thousands of people dies including those first responders who rushed in to save more lives; yet, CNN decides to attack President Trump and 9/11 instead of paying their respects to those who dies and thanking the first responders who risked their lives to save people and who are currently dying at much younger ages because of all the dust.

I am done with cnn.
After years of dedicated viewing, I was so outraged over anderson's behavior in this segment, I checked with youtube to see how other people commenting felt; and discovered 'hands-down' 100's of people felt the same.
I had never seen so many negative reactions to an anderson interview; whom so many of held in high esteem.

But the follow-up "justification segemnt" cnn did today sealed it for me. The mischaracterization and selective editing of what williamson had said to anderson is exactly the sort of low-class nonsence that fox does.

The most interesting part of it is this; I don't even know this woman; never read anything she has written or seen her speak before 2 days ago. That's how bad this is. I didn't know anderson and cnn would stoop so low!
Doing these 2 segments back-to-back — you've lost my respect and my viewing!

Marianne Williamson was on Anderson Cooper's show this evening, August 1, 2019, about 8:30 PM. From the first question he asked her until the last, he was angry, nasty, and hateful in the most sexist manner possible. The tape of the show must be reviewed. He did not let her complete any question, challenged her in areas in which he has no competency, and repeatedly misstated her comments, over and over again, with unceasing interruptions. She repeatedly asked him to allow her to answer his questions. He refused and then began to accuse of her serious misconduct over and over again because of his lack of any impartiality which should be expected of any journalist. To make matters worse, Chris Cuomo, who is well known as nearly as opinionated, came on after Williamson was off camera and joined the attack on Williamson, telling Cooper that she deserved it. When will CNN police its male anchors with respect to the treatment of women. Women do not deserve to be abused under any circumstance. The behaviors of these two men are appalling and because they were not stopped, it is clear that CNN still has very serious issues of sex discrimination of women. I do not know Marianne Williamson. I am not a follower of her opinions, beliefs or thinking on any matter. However, no one deserves the brutal disrespect that she experienced tonight. I will share this information with other women and ask that they make note of any similar experiences observed so they can be reported wherever complaints of this kind can receive attention. Shame on Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo. They obviously feel it is within their rights to publicly attack women for a hurtful purpose. Many women seeing this program may have been as shocked as I was to see this kind of public attack. I now feel that CNN is not the proper place for the debates of the Democratic Party because women are not treated fairly by some of your employees. Marianne Williamson is a candidate for the presidency. The behavior of these two men surely was detrimental to her as a candidate. This kind of hateful, bullying is no different from that which Anderson and Cuomo complain about when committed by other men anywhere. The credibility of CNN has been damaged.

About your moderation of the democratic presidential debate tonight. As an american, a college student, a reader and watcher of cnn, I am ashamed and disgraced by your moderators' questions for the candidates tonight.

Did you really ask a panel of moderate democrats and two senators whether one of those senators were too "extreme" for their liking? Whatever happened to your debates focussing on the issues? It seems to me you bring up a comparative judgment of ideology on a stage that supposedly pits only policy against policy.in the next breath, your usually respectable moderators ask sen. Warren whether her allegiances truly lie with capitalists, or if perhaps she is only pretending to be one to seduce the good, neoliberal american public. I am disappointed. Perhaps you do borrow your talking points from republicans... When they slip you money to do it.

You and your anchors keep lowering your ratings buy using old hasbeens You should help your selfs by trying to get your canadete elected and quite giving the President a lot air time. Besides most of your anchors are not smart enough to figure it out. You and CNBC can not hold a torch to FOX NEWS. But you guys have not figured that out yet. An other thing quit putting Adam Shieff and the likes and when you need a sound bite. Find someone smarter than a box of rocks

How can I delete cnn from google search? I am getting sick and tired of cnn popping up first and second when I search through google for any news worthy articles. I hate cnn... Fake news and liars! It's just a disgrace to me to even have to look at anything they put out. Give us a break will you. We are not as stupid as you think we are. You are not going to change our minds by throwing them in our face.

On wed. April 17, 2019 about midway through the above show while discussing one of the largest bust of doctors and nurses who allegedly illegally prescribed opioids, the female commentator made the following comment:

"some doctors were arrested for issuing prescriptions for up to 15 opioid pills a day and obviously no one ever needs 15 opioid pills a day".

While the bust may have involved some legitimate charges against some doctors and nurses, merely prescribing 15 opioid pills per day is not in and of itself illegal or in any way improper, especially if the patient has documented long term chronic pain that is not adequately relieved by the use of other medications and/or treatments. The cdc guidelines themselves expressly recognize that higher doses of opioids are warranted in certain cases. Indeed, there are thousands, if not millions, of patients that suffer from severe, debilitating, chronic pain on a daily basis that can only be relieved by administration of such higher doses. Many of these patients have been safely taking more than 15 opioid pills a day for many years with no abuse or other problems.
To make such a general, one size fits all statement that "obviously no one needs 15 opioid pills a day" is not only demonstrably false, but it's also highly irresponsible as it's exactly this type of blanket statement that causes doctors and pharmacists to suddenly become too afraid of being arrested that they will no longer provide needed pain relief to the long term, legitimate chronic pain sufferers described above that have only been able to function and carry on productive lives with the administration of higher opioid doses.
Please more carefully research and understand the issue from the viewpoint of the chronically ill and disabled before making such blanket statements. Thank you!

You never force or state the truth with gop pundits or reps, example obamacare is a gop plan thought up by the heritage foundation in 1989 and pushed by dole 1st and implemented by romney.. It was then sabotaged by gop governors who didn't implement it in full or at all.. That told insurance thieves all they had to do was throw money at the gop and it would go away.. Bring up questions like, if it's illegal to make someone purchase health insurance, couldn't the same be true about auto insurance? Wheres the investigation into trumps kids using private servers or trump using unsecured phone..

I don't watch you but just heard a disturbing comment that apparently was tweeted out about the catholic school boys being outed by navaro (or whatever her name is).
That is terrible for a news org (even a fake news org) to put all this hatred toward a school and boys in the school.
From what I understand, you are backing (or not condemning the threats of violence against these boys and their school (school shootings ok now?).
That is dispicable beyond words! Just because they wore a hat? You have got to be insane!
I hope the school does sue and people or networks go to jail for condoning violence and schools being targeted for shootings or burning them down!
Enough with this violence talk just because you hate the president.
Conservatives are really getting sick of this and there are a lot of us! If it's a civil war you want... Heaven help us!
You are trying pretty hard to bring it about! Why? Just because you hate the president and the christians?! I would recommend you stop before people (of all backgrounds) get really hurt! Stop with your hatred and for once promote what liberals always say they want... Love. Except when it comes to conservatives I guess. But think of what could happen if you keep on this hatred mantra of trump and now even hats!
I saw on another network this navaro woman yawning and doing her nails, while a guest was talking about rapes, child trafficking, and murders! Really?
I would get rid of her if I were in your place. But i'm sure this is exactly what you want people to hear. I am hearing it loud and clear but I don't like it! Stop!

CNN you are no better than Trump or any one else you label a racist if you continue to employ Don Lemon. He stated white men are the issue with this country. That is so wrong. I am a white man and that is very offensive. Why would you allow this guy to stay on your station? If he is not off the air soon I will no longer watch CNN. I am sure you guys have lost many viewers because of these issues. Also Jim Acosta. You guys are inciting chaos and making people angry. CNN covered every police shooting of a black man constantly and I think due to this theym Dallas Police officers lost their lives. I believe Jim bugs the President and his staff just to try and get a bad reaction from them. Please stop the non sense I want to be proud and eager to watch CNN but it is not the same anymore. Even if Trump is bad you guys are worse.

A new low in reporting. Terrible representation by jim acosta and the way he treated the president. I understand that cnn and the president are on the outs but if you think that is the way to forward your point - cnn is mistaken. If that is the way you intend to allow your reporters to act I will not be watching in the future. Shame on jim and you if you don't fire him.

Mr. Lemon stating that all White Men are a terrorist threat to the country. If a person of a different race or background said what he said about his race, they would be fired.

Case in point, Megan Kelly comment she made was not appropriate as she got fired. Colin Cowherd from ESPN the same. Howard Cosell Monday Night Football, and those individuals were and are White American citizens.

And the time Steve Harvey made racist comments about whites and Asians that were racist comments, he still has his job.

Though your networks promote Democrats and tell people and all who watch with your commercials to vote Democrat.

But you don't condemn a white Bernie Sanders shooter who was white and wounded Republicans law makers at a practice for a yearly softball game.

Though your the first network to put the blame on the President and not the real person or persons who are actually carrying out the crime.

Strange no Network even CNN reported on the shooting at a McDonald's in Alabama where as Father and his two Sons were leaving the fast food establishment when a man walk in and started shooting. The Father and the son were shot. The Son not life threatening and the Father was life threatening. The shooter died at the scene. No chargers were filed against the Father.

Don Lemon has no facts to back up his racist comments, white men have fought and died for this country. CNN and this racist commentator are the biggest threat this country has, and its time people wake and realize what anti American, race baiting variety show this news network has become. Mark Zukenberg also shows the American people what a spinless coward he is being a white male with no control over his variety show host Donny lemon, that is also true for Cuomo who is also a white male with no backbone or just deep hatred of this great country. We got to give it to Zukenberg for being able to hire the most spinless varitey host as humanly possible. Its also time for the American people to broadcast the sponsor's that are allowing this racist spokesperson to continue on the air and why management personal seems to have no control over these racists bigots, CNN has gone to far with racists hate speech and in my opinion they had better correct this racist behavior before the only audience they have will only know hate, this is already happening .

"the biggest terror threat in this country is white men"...really?! How dare CNN continue to support such commentary from Don Lemon. No more CNN for me, i use to watch but not after having him spit in my face one to many times. I am a tolerant man, but, we all have our limits. Gone are the days of real newsmen like Walter Cronkite that reported the facts and let the viewers make their own decisions. We are now reduced to Cable News "talk shows" full of "contributors" who voice" OPINIONS" (not facts) based on cherry picked excerpts that support their personal/network agenda. POPPYCOCK!

Don Lemons racist comments. seem to be an extension of the continued Anti-white racism that seems systemic throughout CNN. Their behaviour across their whole network is systemically racist and misandrist... Americans and indeed the world are sick of it.. Clearly Don lemon and the rest of the Socialist-Nazi's at CNN all need to be removed their continued calls for violence and hate against whites and men and against anyone who doesn't agree with their insanely stupid opinions is no, longer funny. We the world are sick of their terroristic behaviour! in my opinion CNN should be closed down as the whole network is nothing short of that of the behaviour of domestic & international terrorist!

As I sit at the West Haven V.A. Hospital obtaining treatment for a service connected injury sustained during my 21 years of service I say reading multiple articles regarding the comments made by one of your newscasters.

I am a white male. I served this country for 21 years in uniform. I retired and entered the civilian workforce with the skills I learned in the military, my pay exceeds $ 150 K a year which I have earned thru hard work and multiple moves across the country to gain the next upward position. Think about this, I do not have a College degree, only High School and years of military technical training, many of my buddies did:do the same thing.

I find your response to my being called named by Mr Lemmon to be beyond words. Your comments (CNN allowed them to air) are reprehensible and offending. Punishment should be timely and swift and what many I talk to ask about.

Please send your need person to a VA hospital as he will meet many injured White Men who he owes his freedoms to... problem is many, including I, will turn our backs to him as we are doing to your station.

I DEMAND an apology and a suspension/termination of this person. Nothing less will suffice!

I am a white male and apparently a target of don Lemon. His comments that white males are the biggest terrorist threat in America are not only offensive to me(being a white male) but highly racist and biggoted. Being a gay male I have fought biggotry and hate through out my life. I am so upset that CNN thinks his comments of hate are ok? An apology(which has not been given) is not enough. His racism is deep and his comments are evident that he needs to be removed from his position and CNN should no longer cover up for him or condone his behavior or comments . He should be terminated immediately and CNN has alot of damage control to white males watching their program.

As a Non Radicalized White Male i take offense to Don's Racist comments. The platform you give him is in serious risk of collapse. Broad sweeping statements based on one's race is simply off limits. Your advertisers will certainly be getting complaints.
We White American Men demand an apology from Him and CNN. NOW. It is really time you begin speaking to the rest of America.
