Customer Reviews
Both sides Joke
Equating evasive answers about whether Biden should run in ‘24 (which no actual voter cares about) to “I have a fake badge, so I’m police,” is just dumb, so so dumb!
MORONS!!!
CNN, Abby Philip and your dumb guests are all Morons! Useless, all of you…except for John King.
Trump 1.5 hours of Free Airtime on CNN Last Night
John,
I respect your show.
But last night… CNN for some reason gave a hour + to a Presidential candidate. The only Presidential candidate out there who has ever attempted to topple our form of government.
That candidate used his free CNN time to trashed and humiliate the CNN news organization - delighting his on camera supporters and modestly boosting his attempted March back to power.
I hope your organization doesn’t next week decide to now give the tobacco industry or a drug cartel member a CNN town hall to discuss the joys of smoking or the wonders of shooting heroin.
I hope you understand why I may not be listening or watching your show, or to any content from CNN going forward.
I like you and I hope you will consider jobs at a better news organization.
Best,
Mike
