CNN chris cuomo

His bias has been over the line for a long time, but labeling me as 'overprotective' of my daughter is the end. His ideology has skewed his thinking to the point what is coming out of his mouth is idiotic, intolerant and insulting. He complains about Trump being on Twitter and he goes and says something like this. Is Cuomo hoping to pick up the Nambla endorsement for a political run?

CNN cnn contributors

I wish to complain about two of your paid contributors. Rick Santorum is on video calling President Obama a government nig-----when he stopped midsentence. We can all guess what nig----- mean't. Also, Sheriff Paul Babeu you have had on talking about border law and security. Here in Arizona he had a male illegal lover from Mexico, and is on tape threatening to deport the illegal if he made their love affair public knowledge. His credibility on border issues is worthless IMO. If you vetted either of these contributors, then you mad a poor decision to have Santorum comment on race and Babeu to give commentary on illegals

CNN cnn's dishonesty

Your reporter asked President Trump today if calling CNN fake news is not corroding the confidence that people have in the news (or something along that line). You bet it is, because your organization's constant attacks, hatred, and dishonesty has by itself lost the trust of the people, including me, who used to regularly watch you. Your company is so far in the tank for liberal progressives and so much against the other Americans it is disgusting. Your reporting and that of other networks is what is whipping liberal progressives into a violent frenzy. I assume it is for ratings because it is not responsible news reporting when you run violence and hatred all day long. There is a huge block of America that are not like that, and you fail to report on them at all, because it does not produce ratings. You cannot seem to see the forest through the trees. You've lost credibility. I'm sure you do know when you report that Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary, it is because most of those votes are out of the liberal progressive state of California. I'd love to watch CNN again, but not until you get some balance back into your reporting, instead of leading (instead of reporting about) a culture war.

CNN van jones - cnn news commentator

The comments of Van Jones last night after the Donald Trump victory were extremely OFFENSIVE! He call this a "white last"! Totally an-aceptable comments coming from a black man. He has been openly biased against Donald Trump- and that is his right. To come on National TV after such a hard fought campaign and make these comments is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! This is not the way toward UNITY in this country, Van Jones should be seriously "talked to" make more appropriate comments on national TV! If he is unable to do this- he should be immediately suspended- and terminated if he continues. He is a black man and is entitled to his opinions with regard to the whites- but this comment is "over the line" and has no place on a network like CNN! CNN has a lot of re-building to do since they were OPENLY and obviously favoring Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump. Their viewing content for the last 6 months has been nothing but an "open attack" on Donald Trump. This is not what I expect from a NEWS station! I expect no bias- and I would expect that many of the viewers think and feel the same way. CNN is a fine station and their organization has many talented commentators. Van Jones is talented- but he has the wrong ATTITUTE for a national TV station.

Thanks for listening> My name is John T. Georgiana and I reside in Missouri.

CNN cnn.com

For the past 7 years, I have been reading the news on Cnn.com, every day, if not more than once a day.

I'm writing to tell you goodbye. I am disgusted with the one-sided reporting coverage of the race for president. Your reporters attack the GOP nominee in every pathetic opportunity they can think of.

"Melania Trump wants to stop cyber-bullying, but she doesn't acknowlege that her husband is a cyber-bully."

Pathetic, and childish. I'm sure I'm not the only person who is done with you either. Say goodbye to a HUGE portion of your audience, because people like me are permanently changing the channel.

Saturday after Saturday you axe-- your only own great, intelligent voice -- Smerconish. Saturday after Saturday, your lightweights manage to declare faux Breaking News at both morning and afternoon program times to render him toast. How can you let these nobodies do this? My husband, an M.D. and I, a West Coast writer believe he's the only worthwhile CNN news person worth tuning into. Wolf has become tired; Jay Tapper is meh!; Anderson Cooper, when you scratch his shiny surface, isn't really that bright. Poppy Harlow is an egomaniac.

CNN Polls

As a student of statistics during my former university years, I find it extremely misleading of CNN not to disclose the number of people who are questioned on any given poll. To the uninitiated and the average American watching your news programs, it would seem that a huge majority of republicans or democrats or whoever the case may be, have participated in those polls. We who are more aware, know that perhaps 500 people or maybe even 5000 people may have participated and an explanation should be provided by CNN. The point is that your viewers should be allowed to have that information in order to make more informed decisions. I notice that almost always MSNBC does disclose the number of participants when they report the poll numbers. I believe CNN should be more honest with their viewers.

CNN Cnn, wolf blitzer, and 15 december and previous 2015 republican debates

Most all the questions from the CNN panel, and from "journalists" at previous Republican debates as well, seemed to be designed to have one or more candidates pick a fight with or pile on other candidates. If during their answers to substantive questions such as those listed below, the debate participants want to pick a fight with one another, let them initiate it. Is that really your job as journalists to incite such behaviour? To their discredit, most of the candidates took the bait. There were hardly any questions like these, for example: What is your plan to deal with (name of issue)? How important is that (issue) to you, to the country? What resources should be brought to bear to fix or lessen this problem? How would you propose to pay for this? What experience do you have, or how do you propose, to bring together highly partisan and fractious parties to solve problems? Give us a list of the top 5 or 10 problems facing America. You did not list "XYZ" problem in your list. How big of a problem do you think that issue is? Where would you place it on a list of challenges America faces? Another exercise for the candidates could have been: "Here is a list of problems that are listed by various groups and prominent persons that face this country. During the upcoming commercial break, you will have 2-3 minutes to organize them in their order of importance to you. Then we will ask each of you how you would deal with your top 3 or 5 or whatever. I am confident that, if they try, journalists including you can come up with even more informative and elucidating questions than these to help the American people learn what they need to know about the candidates. Sincerely, Tom PS - I have included below a message sent to Hugh Hewitt about his ridiculous question to Ben Carson ----------------------------------------- To: [protected]@hughhewitt.com Subject: Your Republican Debate Question to Carson on 15 December Seriously?!?!?!? You asked a PEDIATRIC neurosurgeon whether he would have trouble bombing civilians INCLUDING children to protect America. Here's a man who has made clear his position on the general topic of national security AND has saved/improved the lives of many, many children and their families. As I believe this is how he really feels, I wish he had taken a few step towards you on the stage, and looking directly into your eyes, then said, "Sir, I have dedicated my life to saving children's lives so they would have a chance for a better future. As someone who has lived the American Dream myself, if you or anyone thinks I will not do everything necessary to keep Americans safe, especially our children who represent the future of the most exceptional country in history, you and they are sadly mistaken." Mr Hewitt, your question seemed to have come from a leftist mindset, designed for ratings, while attempting to make someone uncomfortable, but in fact it was as ill-conceived as it was fatuous. I hope you heard him later on Hannity where he explained the analytical technique he uses before making important decisions. Perhaps you can use your "considerable" influence to get the Democratic candidates to answer the same question. Hopefully your role in any future debates will be relegated back to the one you had at the MSNBC debate debacle - token Republican questioner. Disgusted and disappointed, Tom

CNN Following democratic debates failure to include climate issue

Does the CNN have a problem reporting Global Warming as a critical issue? The three top Democratic candidates for President all included CLIMATE CONTROL as a major issue. They did not skirt the issue or insulate this issue in scientific jargon; Bernie Sanders, Hilary Clinton and Martin O'Malley consider it important for the American public to recognize this issue. That was clear during CNN's Democratic Debate (13Oct2015). Subsequently today, why does the CNN fail to report Democratic acknowledgement of this issue, in contrast to Republican candidates, of CLIMATE Change and Global Warming in CNN's sound bites today? While I respect Anderson Cooper's leadership during the Democratic Debate, the CNN 'talking heads' that followed failed to call attention to contrast between candidates' position on Climate. Best regards, Jewel A. Lee former contractor supporting NOAA's research on Climate Change and pending horrific outcomes

What they conveniently leave out however is that the Jews killed him because he taught that Jews are lying thieving ### and the children of Satan.

Could someone pull the Wolf Air-conditioning add on CNN. It lacks good taste and I am surprised that it is aired on station that intelligent people watch and trust. The add I am refering to blatanly begins by saying, "My wife is HOT! " and a woman is laying on a sofa, the add has sexual connotations and runs, it seems, every half hour. The add portrays women as sexual objects and the content alludes to a writer without education and lacking a respect for women. PLEASE send this comment to someone who has the authority to listen to this add and then but an end to this.

Satellite is just as bad. However, it's not the local station or anything we can currently control. Between the broadcaster, the provider and our TV's, there are a jumble of things to go through. IF a broadcast turns up one aspect, the others all still go up. Most commercials are NOT handled by the broadcasters. And no, satellite does NOT eliminate local commercials. Local ads are a requirement on most channels at least once a day. It's because the local ad and the broadcaster are not the same person... it's "written over" an ad spot, when you hear load... others with other of their local commercials hear it nice, or even too quiet. FX is FAMOUS for awful commercial volume versus their DVD on TV series. The only fix is to get a regulating TV - works sort of the same way a car stereo does that has the speed feature. You speed up, it stays the same volume in the car. Newer TV's are coming with this built in. Find one, if you have one, turn it on.

CNN Morning programming

CNN early morning programming is now the worst in the the business. I'm speaking on Zoraida Sambolin's & Ashleigh Banfield's show. My complaint is really against Zoraida Sambolin more so than Ms. Banfield. Ms. Sambolin is way over her head! Her present & words are a new low. She is far from neutral in her comments; has little creditability in her opinions and needs to show some professionalism.

CNN had a reasonable early morning show in the recent past but for unknown reasons, they have replaced good hosts with poorer ones. (Sorry Ms. Banfield, but 'low tides sink all ships' and i fell badly that I'm painting you with the same brush).

CNN, please do better in the future.

CNN Integrity compromised by piers morgan

In the wake of the phone hacking scandal by News International, is it appropriate that Piers Morgan maintains such high profile with CNN, when it is increasingly evident that he not only was involved in phone hacking himself, but was willing to tell a barefaced lie in court about it?
CNN will seriously need to check what is going on with their brand, which has already given over much important news time to such tittle-tattle as Piers is famous for, if they continue to use such a dishonest individual to deliver their services.

Great admiration is still deserved by CNN for its efforts to end human trafficking as well as other global causes. This is not done justice if such individuals as Piers Morgan continue to represent the network.

Totally 101% agree with previous 2 posts - NEVER send any monies for any so called "Lottery/Prize Draw/Lucky Dip etc so called "Wins" - With the possible rare exception of a competition which you know you have entered, can phone a UK number and verify who they are - (Really do check into the company concerned) and if it's a relatively small amount for say the delivery of a car that you've won!
99.9% of the times they've harvested or bought your email address any one of a number of different ways - they bung out 1, 000s of these and all they need are just a few unwary punters to make a large amount of cash illegally!

You claim to have just got done suing someone but have a hard time believing that all the people in that video (they interview 4 or 5, but they said about a dozen) right?

All cases are not the same for my opening point. And your specific case certainly has no relation to Mr. Gibson case in question. You sued "someone", you stated. However, in Mr. Gibson civil case involves more than “someone” but multiple individuals, businesses, investors and was started in public damaging his business, business relationships, and most of all his reputation. The information related to the case was on television, broadcasted on line, and will be resolved on line, on television, and in a court of law.

In turn, the growth of electronic media has made the reporters as much of the story as the public, lawyers (and their clients). The internet has changed how cases are fought all over the world today. What I am saying is this campaign is all part of the case. Even this conversation we are having now. Evidence and traditional legal procedures are evolving due to technology and failure to adapt by lawyers or clients will result in misinformation. The OJ Simpson trial, for example...

Look how easy people are to judge Mr. Gibson now despite the evidence being so easily available by a click of a button. You think just because people appear on the news and scream foul play constitutes as factual information? Well you like many Americans are part of the illusion the media can and does have over society in general.

By posting fraction of the pertinent details only gathers support from thinking American that when the final puzzle is placed one can view the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This eliminates “anyone” specifically all the childish individuals more concerned with entertainment on complaintsboard.com and to get to those like you that can see pass the uneducated internet stone throwers pleading Mr. Gibson methods are causing them pain or some imaginary financial hardship but still under the media illusion. They respond with insults that have no value in intelligent society.

I am so mad and that is not my character. This whole mess has changed my perspective on the legal system, and law enforcement. Nobody can give me back who I was prior to this false charge or time detained in jail. Now that I am out of that cage, I want justice. No I demand justice! Louis Gibson will be a name those will speak and not forget like I will never forget.

Take a deeper look at my criminal history and at first glance one can assume negative thoughts. But "first glance", does not mean guilty. This is the first time I have not been able to block corrupt legal hits. But my attitude remains the same. When you are falsely accused stand your ground no matter the outcome! With WSB News reporting the false story on Redshield Entertainment LLC cost me a lot of money and ran my reputation through the dirt. I learned how powerful the media can influence perspective in America or to be specific in Atlanta, Georgia. My wealthy and connected fake friends ran away from me to protect their business. Even those that had thousands invested with my company, and several other business deals.

Many may not agree with my methods of posting so many complaints on the internet but I will bare it all to the American people. Several who are commenting are involved in my criminal case and are be exposed by independent investigator and companies that have given me support. I do not have a thing to hide and do not trust the legal system to do the right thing. Everyone will know what corruption is going on in Norcross Police Department and Gwinnett County. They can lock me up but they will not lock up the truth. This is a campaign to expose the corruption and plain lack of justice practiced in Gwinnett County.

If you took the time to read the documented facts and spent less time looking at a one side perspective you would have noticed all your questions had been addressed. So for your lack of reading I will address it below.

To explain the facts wrong with the piece:
1.) Not dozens but five questionable former sales representatives went on camera and Louis Gibson and company did not pay them commission earned. Linda Stouffer, WSBtv News Reporter, did not investigate the allegation made and broadcasted the story. Had she investigated the allegation she would have discovered all commissions are paid on a sixty day pay cycle. No employee/sales representative had been working pass three weeks selling Clearwire mobile internet service out bound to Georgia residents. All sales representatives had been trained at Clearwire Corporate Office in Atlanta, Georgia and had a clear understanding of this policy. The company, Red Shield Entertainment LLC, had no control of this policy because it was a re-seller of Clearwire. No commissions had been paid out to compensate for commissions earned.

2.) Who called CEO Louis Gibson a "bold face liar"?
Mathew McCloy, a former sales manager, spearheaded this campaign to destroy Red Shield Entertainment LLC and create his own business called Mad Phoenix Technologies, stealing sales representatives, business plans, and trade secretes created by CEO Louis Gibson.

3.) Why don't you sue him?
He is involved in a civil case currently and the list includes other individual and companies not to be mentioned at this time.

4.) Were they your employees?
All that worked were sales representative or independent contractors that worked on commission earned only! Clearly stated in a signed contract that outlined all responsibility and pay cycle.

5.) They all seem very sincere. How could they all have had the wrong impression they would be receiving a paycheck from you?
"Sincere", is a loose word to describe individuals you do not know Zachary S. Two of them were roommates of Mathew McCloy and two did not have any affiliation with the company. Mathew McCloy had several secrete meetings with sales representatives and made promises of early payment of commissions earned if this plan to pressure Red Shield Entertainment and Clearwire with law suite and media coverage.

In conclusion, over one year later the facts have come out and Mad Phoenix Technologies in its first month experienced the same set backs Red Shield Entertainment faced due to the sixty day pay cycle of commission. These are all your questions answered with straight facts and were previously explained in details prior. Talks of a retraction are being considered by WSBtv Atlanta News and documentation of Clearwire sixty day pay cycle can be found by contacting:

Dear Friend,
This is a crucial time in the fight for Net Neutrality. The FCC and Redshield America News Network (RANN) is pursuing new Net Neutrality rules; Congress is weighing legislation; and President Obama wants Net Neutrality to become the law of the land.
More than 1.9 million people have already urged Congress and the FCC to stand with the public and pass strong Net Neutrality protections. If we can reach 2 million people, we will send a resounding message that Washington can't ignore.
Go here to demand that Congress and the FCC stand with the people they represent and support an open and affordable Internet for everyone: http://act2.freepress.net/cms/letter/two_million

Thank you,

CNN Anderson cooper haiti piece from 1/13

As a member of the news media, I understand the need for TV crews, photojournalists and reporters to flock to an area like Haiti, recently devastated by the earthquake. They capture all ranges of human emotion and can help tell the stories of millions of people in need.

Having said that, I was disturbed last night watching a piece that Anderson Cooper was reporting on from Haiti. The scene was very powerful. The video was amazing. Capturing a young girl being stuck under the rubble, screaming for help, and then finally being freed. It was very compelling video.

But why did Anderson Cooper need to show himself sitting on top of the rubble, trying to jam a microphone under the rubble to hear this girls screams. Why did HE need to appear in it at all? It was SO much stronger with the narration. He actually ruined the piece for me. - and even worse, had me question his motives for being there. Why is he there? To help further his career? To win awards? To show to himself that he can cover such events? There is no reason he should have been in that piece and the countless angles he appeared in the frames.

The media often gets labeled as being vultures. Most of the time, I feel it is an unjust claim. However, this is a situation that is bigger than Anderson Cooper. And frankly, he should let the stories tell themselves and be hiding BEHIND the camera. Not shamelessly sticking his mug into as many shots as possible.

CNN In session

What has happened to In session? Where is Jack Ford, Ashley Banfield and Jamie Lee? I really feel bad for Jean Kasaras and Beth having to commentate back and forth on air with anchor's who barely look over the age of 21, no offense to the anchors, but how much experience could they possibly have? Thank goodness for Vinny Politan, at least he has been around the block once or twice. CNN should be ashamed of what they have done to Court TV, I just hope that some other news media company will have the forsight to give CNN some competition and bring back a real court tv show with the likes of Jack Ford, Ashley Banfield and Jamie Lee and if they were real smart, it would be Jack, Ashley and Jamie, sorry Ryan Smith, but youth in my opinion for In session is not the best medicine. The only thing CNN has going for itself with this new In session format is that someone was smart enough to put Vinny Politan on air. Jack, Ashley, Jamie, wherever you are now, you are sorely missed and if I ever discover that any of you are on air on another network----I'm there, would leave CNN In session in a heartbeat, it is just not the same nor is the quality present any longer.

I had been watching the miner's rescue from the beginning.
After the 28th miner, the program switched to the election debates.
Considering the circumstances, the debate could of been prosponed for another day. I ended up watching the end of the rescue on CTV. Having known this, I would of watched the entire rescue on CTV.
I found this very selfish of your part.

I have installed a Paradox alarm system through CCN Alarms by Christo Dippenaar in February 2012. I have paid him in full for the installation but soon afterwards we found that the battery back up didn't work during a power failure. He replaced the battery, updated the software to recharge the battery and it still don't work. I've tried many times to contact him on his cellphone but he is avoiding me and my sms's. Recently he contacted me and according to suppliers the problem lies in the alarm memory board which must be replaced. According to Christo the alarm system have a guarantee of one year and that will expire in less than a month. I'm still waiting for him to come back to me and to sort my alarm system out. We also got a contract with CCN alarms for monitoring. Most of the time when a alarm is activated you will receive no response or maybe a response up to a hour later. I really don't know what to do and can't recommend Christo Dippenaar from CCN Alarms to install anything for anybody in the West Coast. Ek is nou sommer de moer in en praat sommer afrikaans! Ek probeer Christo Dippenaar vir die afgelope 3 weke en meer in die hande te kry maar die ou bel my nie terug na sms’se wat ek gelos het, 3 keer by sy kantoor was, boodskappe gelos by sy ontvangs dame wat vir hom werk om my te kontak maar Christo vee net sy gat aan my af. Soos ek alreeds gese het ek hom ten volle betaal vir my alarm stelsel en 06 Februarie 2013 sal die waarborg verval. Ek is tans besig om met Paradox hoofkantoor in Johannesburg te kommunikeer om Christo te probeer keer om verdere installeerings te doen van die produk om hulle naam gat te maak!

Actually, Ryan Smith --an experienced lawyer who passed the bar in both NY and FL-- graduated from college in 1992 so he's quite removed from age 21, although he does look quite youthful. Although we all liked the old format, I hope you give the new format a chance.
