LMAO .... Kudos!
I used to defend CNN to a point. My "default" news channel is CNN. Not because of the panel "discussions" but because they always get to a breaking story first and with the most depth. If something happens in Turkey at midnight eastern CNN will be on it by 12:07 while MSNBC is showing Lockup reruns from 2008 and Fox an earlier episode of Greta. But as far as political reporting goes in the US CNN just keeps moving Left. That makes it tougher to watch. I like Smerconish though.

[h=2]Conservative trolls are attacking publishers' app store ratings - Digiday[/h]CNN and USA Today are among several publishers that have been barraged with negative app store reviews that accuse the publishers of bias.

Other targeted publishers include Mic, Quartz, and USA Today, who have also been slammed by users upset over the companies’ biases, with two-thirds of reviews on USA Today citing its liberal leanings.
Due to the fact that CNN’s app is well established and has received thousands of reviews over a number of years, the negative reviews haven’t had a significant impact on the the app’s overall rating.
However, for recently released apps such as Mic’s, which was launched two weeks ago, the negative reviews are having a greater affect on the average rating.
“Low reviews affect the ranking of an app in the top charts, which decreases app discoverability and, in turn, means fewer downloads, which would continue driving them further down the top charts,” said Amir Ghodrati, a director of market insights at the app analytics business App Annie.

[h=1]CNN Crew Caught Joking About Donald Trump’s Plane Crashing (Video)[/h]

[h=2]CNN has apologized after a network crew was caught on tape joking about President-elect Donald Trump’s plane crashing before a live shot on Thursday.[/h]While setting up for Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s press conference from Carrier headquarters in Indianapolis, a producer is heard offscreen joking with CNN on-air reporter Suzanne Malveaux about the possibility of Trump’s plane crashing.
“That means his plane’s crashed,” the producer tells Malveaux while discussing possible hand signals to aid the network’s coverage. “No, I’m kidding.”
The video was first obtained by TV news website FTVLive.com’s Scott Jones.
In a statement Friday, CNN apologized for the joke and said the producer, who has not been identified, had been disciplined.
“An unfortunate and inappropriate remark was made by one of our producers off camera yesterday,” the network said. “We have apologized to the Trump transition team, and the producer has been disciplined.”
Trump was in Indianapolis Thursday to discuss his agreement with Carrier, which will keep more than 1,000 jobs in the United States after the air conditioner and appliance company reversed course on moving the jobs to Mexico.
Earlier this week, Trump rebuked CNN on Twitter, saying he thought the network’s coverage of him would improve after the election, only to find it had gotten “worse.”
“.@CNN is so embarrassed by their total (100%) support of Hillary Clinton, and yet her loss in a landslide, that they don’t know what to do,” Trump wrote.

CNN is now even further left than MSNBC.
In a Wall Street Journal piece investigating the sweeping “ratings bonanza” that CNN has had in the 2016 election cycle, Jeff Zucker admitted that perhaps in the past the network has ostracized some viewers with its coverage. “I think it was a legitimate criticism of CNN that it was a little too liberal,” Zucker conceded.

So, I think it was a disgrace, but that’s the way the press is, very unfortunate.”
He added, “I don’t watch CNN. … I don’t like watching fake news…but Fox has treated me very nice, wherever fox is, thank you.”
