CNN All of your networks

Well let see here you hid everything from the american people about the bidens and hunters laptop before the election so you could this fool in office. On his first day of office he shut down the keystone pipeline and last year the us bought 236 million barrels of oil from russia. Where do you think putin got the money for this war we payed for it. The high gas prices food and everything else is your fault and its showing your ratings are down 90 percent. Any one that sponsors your show I hope you like paying the high gas prices. November the american people will turn this [censored] show around.

Desired outcome: Get on the air and admit you was wrong And How about Hillary 3 years you lied

CNN Phil Mattingly

I have been a devoted and defender of CNN for years.

This is about Phil Mattingly.

His repeated and inappropriate "chuckling" at any given moment, more often than not, in the midst of an extremely serious subject, is unacceptable.

If you just listen to his broadcasts and when his silly guffaws completely degrade the seriousness of the subject at hand, I would assume, as intelligent broadcasters, they are totally wrong.

Either correct his childish behavior or you have lost another listener.

Desired outcome: CORRECT HIS BEHAVIOR!!!

CNN Why is Norway so good at the Winter Games? Analysis by Harry Enten, CNN Updated 9:52 AM ET, Fri February 18, 2022

The analysis (?) by Henry Enten is petty and baseless. His case is that Norway is gasp - up north - giving its people an unfair advantage. I haven't seen the same idea promulgated for countries that are farther south and do well at the Summer Olympics. His analysis is that Norway is a wealthy country. However, Norway was and has historically been the poorest of the Scandinavians countries. Denmark has always been richest followed by Sweden. Norway recently (in my lifetime) because wealthy because of oil but the way that the country distributes and uses its public money is very different and not in line with Henry Enten's contention. For example, a USA figure skater who took gold in one of the Olympics had her own private skating rink in her backyard, demonstrating enough family wealth for private individuals to get an unfair edge in training. Many USA athletes of all colors have sponsors and support giving them money to train and continue in their sports. A true analysis would reveal that USA, Russia and China all spend a lot more money on their athletes overall. Also, Russia is a wealthy Northern country as is Sweden and China. Yet those countries are well behind Norway in overall medal count from the years when Norway was an unknown and very poor country. Mr Enten's laughable analysis is so petty and mean that it is malevolent. His lies and ignorance mark the article as truly unworthy. As a Norwegian American, I am used to this sort of prejudice about my ancestors country. Norway is ahead in the Winter Olympics count because of the culture of the country overall. It is a country where people walk more and drive less. It is a country where people are physical in many regards and an analysis would show many Norwegian Americans have medalled for the USA in the Olympics. The people of Norway don't deserve this dismissive and ignorant opinion piece. There are many reasons why they get so many medals. Those reason have a lot do with ineffable things that your writer doesn't want to or is not able to understand or think about.

Desired outcome: Publish my opinion to contravene Mr. Enten's. Or let me and other Norwegian Americans and Norwegians address this issue on your shows.

CNN Missing mask mandate info

I watch CNN throughout the Pandemic and I want their broadcast to specify the diligence of Native Americans efforts and directives to keep their population safe from the COVID virus. I just saw a broadcast of democrat-run states immediately lifing mask mandates (indoor). CNN may not be aware or ignoring that many Native American reservations still have mask mandates in place. Let's take New Mexico and Arizona for instance, the Navajo Nation is part of those states and still has the mask mandate in place. I'm asking the network to keep in mind of minority groups who are recognizing and utilizing the CDC protocols to protect their citizens. When you have a heavily shaded state that just doesn't represent its state citizens, there are soverign-controlled reservations that make decisions to fight against the "invisible monster" that still plagues the reservations. Provide the right statistics when representating data for each state.

Desired outcome: Change their future statistics to show not all states make decisions for Native American reservations.

CNN Incorrect news

In an news posted on 12:56 a.m. ET, February 7, 2022 titled"Eileen Gu says she's on a mission to bring freeskiing to a new generation in China", a sentence "Hailing from San Francisco, Gu relinquished her US citizenship in 2019 so she could represent China at Beijing 2022" is presented. It is not real. She has dual nationality, didn't abandon US citizenship. So, I suggest revising it. Thanks!

CNN Jake tapper 850 am feb 13th 2022

After giving up on Fox News because of their false and nasty of President, I now have do the same to Jake Tapper. He is trying to be the Shawn Hannity of CNN and it is disgusting. Thanks for my remote but i I should not have to leave because of the tone and bias of a so called Journalist. His degrading of President Biden on the Afghanistan issue was appalling and nothing but opinion.

Pretty I will only have MSNBC Thanks to Tapper. Shameful!

He's actions are reprehensible. Why would you a pervert on your show? he sexually abuse a young girl (his own friend's kid) and got her pregnant. Omg

I can't believe you let him come back. Every time he is on your show, I change the channel.

It's actually sickening to his face there. And him acting like he's so better than anyone else.

Cnn's reputation? you have lower your standards so low it's headed for the gutter.

Please get him off your show.

Have you forgotten? what ever to 'decency'.

CNN 2022 New Year's Eve show with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper

Substituting Andy Cohen for Kathy Griffin was awful. He took precious time - that should have been used for looking back/forward - celebrating ourselves, to [censored] about de Blasio.

I have problems with Andy Cohen's whole empire/way of doing business since he was summarily responsible for getting rid of Patti Stanger's extremely entertaining matchmaking shows.

Incredibly poor TV - and turned me off - I switched channels. I had wanted to watch CNN, as I wasn't interested in the musical theatrics on all the other channels.

I admit I am a die-hard Kathy Griffin fan. She made a mistake. And it was not in good taste/politically correct; but she is known for thinking/doing outside the box. But enough is enough. She has been shut out of every form of entertainment - her profession.

But enough about her. Surely you could have found someone better than Andy Cohen to "sidekick" adorable Anderson Cooper. Or maybe he doesn't need anyone else - could just tag-team to other locales/correspondents.

Desired outcome: Bring Kathy Griffin back for New Year's Eve!!!

CNN CNN inside politics

Why do you keep bashing Trump, a former president, that did a good job? Is it because you're all democrats?! Will we still be hearing your opinion on Jan 6 ten years from now?! Get over it and be done with it, otherwise keep looking ridiculous and petty. I will only watch unbiased news, like FOX from now on as they report the news correctly, and without adding their opinions. Your group of newscasters are so full of BS it is unreal!
Please just go away as you know nothing of impartiality and decency - you're all very creepy!

CNN The truth

Why have you not address the fact that President Biden said he would shut down the virus. Call him out on it!

Fentanyl is killing our young people. Why keep the border open? Why can't you as a news organization address these major issues?

Not enough testing kits were made available. This is a failure. Say that! It's true!

Our lives should not be a political football. Border crisis! Covid Crisis! My president ignored the truth but you shouldn't. The citizens need to be treated fairly! Everyone! Black, white, Hispanic, orange or green. Why don't YOU CNN care to be honest?

Desired outcome: Get the truth out!!!! Stop ignoring it.

CNN CNN New Years Eve Program with drunk commentators

I started to look at the New Years' Eve program from New York with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper. I soon found out that the drunken state of the commentators was much more that I wanted to begin the new year. Why after so much bitterness these past few years did CNN have commentators that were not only drunk but bitter. Andy especially!

Desired outcome: Please give us different commentators commentators that are respectful and hope. Such a downer watching them!!

I think that 3 anchors on the morning show is too much. Kaitlyn? Don? They seem to be interested in getting the most air time and who is asking the most penetrating question 🤔

Where's Brianna?

Poppy seems to rub people the wrong way-at least her former co-anchors.

CNN New years eve show

I would first like to tell you that My wife and I have CNN on almost 24/7 we love your reporting and specials. We feel that your network gives us the true facts and deliver honest Inteligent reports. We have been watching your CNN coverage of ringing in the New year for several years now. I think since you started it with Anderson Cooper of whom we love.

BUT this new year's coverage was simply horrible! That Andy Cohen was despicable. He was aggravating the hell out of us by constantly interrupting Anderson Cooper and his actions and drunkenness was not amusing at all...

BUT the topper of it all which was disgraceful, was when he made that comment about Mayor Deblasio! It was NOT the time or place to make such an irresponsible and stupid remark. Like Deblasio or not, THAT WAS NT APPROPRATE!

Andy Cohen destroyed that evening and show, and we will never watch another CNN New Years Eve show if this jerk Andy Choen is going to be on again.

Very truly yours,
Lou Giovannetti
A loyal CNN fan

CNN The firing of Chris Cromo

I do not understand why Chris Cromo was fired. It is only natural to help a sibling if they are in trouble.

I feel that allegations made against his brother Andrew were bogus. I am a woman and I know when and how to stop unwanted sexual advances, most women do.
Why did these women wait so long to come forward if it was a problem?

Knowing very little about his heritage, I know that touching and kissing are very common among friends and family. I feel that this family has been a target and I think everyone knows why.

I admire the loyalty and that Chris displayed for his brother.
As a long-standing viewer of CNN, I refused to continue to watch, or listen to your station. It will be MSNBC for me.

CNN Female news journalists

My biggest complaint is there are too many females on CNN. And they all look alike with bleached hair, eye makeup (looking like raccoons) and over the hill clown appearance. Plus, all with that dippity-do hair falling over one eye. I used to watch CNN all the time but now with these hooker-like females all on most of the time I can't stand watching and turn the channel off. Why? Why do the male journalists all look normal, haircut and suit and tie looking quite respectful? And the females all over the hill makeup. I wonder what they really look like without all the goo on their faces. Thier pillows must look awful each morning with all the makeup they wear. Even movie stars don't look like that, unless they're playing hookers. I call the channel CNN (C++T News Network. Please give their faces a good scrubbing before airtime if you insist on using them. I'm also sorry you axed Chris Cuomo as I always liked him.

CNN New years eve with anderson cooper and andy...

I hope that we are NOT SUBJECTED TO Anderson Cooper and Andy (what's his name) chugging shots of Tequila again this year. Come on, CNN... it is totally irresonsible of you to show these guys chugging Tequila and getting buzzed like two drunken teen-agers. I am a lifelong CNN viewer and just think this type of behavior is uncalled for and sets a bad example for underage drinking.

PLEASE LEAVE THE TEQUILA SHOTS OUT.

Desired outcome: NO CHUGGING TEQUILA DURING NEW YEAR'S EVE BROADCAST

CNN Chris Coumo Anchor

Whom it may concern;
It has always been that any family member who can help in any means shouldn't get the AXE. Chris Coumo has been one of CNN 's Favorite with Don Lemon. They both are a very big ASSET to CNN NEWS> Your rating will go down & so will your character who did this action. Put the shoes on your foot. If you had a brother or even a sister wouldn't you help her with different legal help etc? This looks like a big political sham. Looks more like what a Republican left party would do. My wife & millions more liked Chris Coumo. Please take another further look into this issue and bring him back soon. Mr & Mrs Gene Micheli
