The CNN App now does not let you read ANY articles, unless you've paid for it monthly. Does not matter if it's a new month - I'm blocked period. Very frustrating. They are hurting themselves. I know the viewership is way down too

Disrespectful America 250 Parade Coverage

I tried to watch the America 250 parade today. Very disrespectful of the newscasters on CNN to continually blab, blab, blab throughout the parade, and even stop the video of the parade so that they could flap their gums on camera.

I've been a long time user of your news app. Not anymore! When you went for the $$$ you lost your credibility as a news organization who has long espoused free internet availabilty. I won't pay a dime as there are two many other credible news agencies who still offer it for free. NOT GOING TO WATCH YOUR CABLE NEWS ANYMORE EITHER.

The whole story with Anderson Cooper

The whole story with Anderson Cooper? Why are you pushing his name when you already pay him $20 million/ yr. Nothing against him, but that show has some great stories with some awesome, hardworking, poor reporters who are not being recognized. Change the name to something generic or keep the name but remove Anderson and replace it with the name of the true reporter.

Biased and sooo one sided

Biased and sooo one sided.
CNN's 1/2 the story does not make good reading, it makes a fool out of their organization.
They truly look foolish.
How about Both sides Equally?
You would think their rating drop would spell it out to CNN.
I just can't trust in your angel and lies anymore.

Goodbye, CNN.

After spending many years at the breakfast table looking at CNN on my cell phone while I ate breakfast, I've finally completely turned it off. Their concept of making it a subscription only service means most of the articles that interest me aren't available to me. There are too many other free services showing the same articles. Goodbye, CNN,

Wondering why CNN has a show entitled Amanpour when she isn’t on it that often. Isn’t this false labelling, false advertising? Do we need to tune in every night just to see if she appears? Not good. It is very disrespectful to its subscribers.

Abby Phillips

Abbey’s show is unwatchable because of the constant interruption of each other and she is the most guilty. Asks a question of a guest, and interrupts within seconds of the response!

Why I cannot watch CNN anymore

I have been a lifetime CNN watcher. I have always read their top five whenever I get the emails. After yesterday‘s horrific terror attack in Boulder, Colorado by an Egyptian, Hamas supporter that fire bombed/flame thrower targeting peaceful Israel supporters seeking the release of hostages. with the unfolding story of terrorism, The story didn’t make the top five not even 24 hours later, but had garbage regarding a corrupt murdering sheriff, Japan trash, a volcano erupting and other nonsense. CNN continuously reports anti-Israel news stories or death statisticsreleased by the Hamas health ministry as credible reporting. I can no longer take CNN as it makes me want to vomit how distrustful they have become. My other favorite news networks are right up there with cnn, being NBC, ABC and CBS. Why on earth would these networks report anything from the Hamas health ministry unless they purposely want to blood liable Israel and Zionists. thank you CNN for being so unreliable that we probably won’t be seeing you around much longer. I recognize a slow death when I see it.

I have watched CNN for years

I have watched CNN for years. I have stopped watching and would never subscribe as there are way too many commercials.
Anchors give about 5 minutes of news and then about 10 minutes of commercials.
When I want to hear the news I want to hear the whole story not a piece here and a piece there,
Sorry CNN no longer my go too for world news.

Lifelong Viewer/Reader Gone

I have been reading and watching CNN for my entire adult life. As of recently, I can’t read 3/4 of the stories. Blocked for paid subscribers only. I have deleted the app out of frustration, and I am now watching less as well. I have to find a new news channel now. I’m sure I am not alone. I don’t know where I’ll get my news from anymore. Very disappointing. All good things come to an end, I guess.
