CNN has become total propaganda

[hvn_nbr_2]

The CNN.com homepage does not have a single reference to yesterday's demonstrations. There are zero appearances of any of these words: demonstration, rally, king, kings.

According to CNN, nothing happened yesterday. The biggest demonstration in American history didn't happen. CNN can't be considered a news source any more.

[Walleye]

1. The French news station and the BBC covered the demonstrations a lot better

I’ll check out the German news this evening or tomorrow

[RockRaven]

2. Become? Always has been.

[Magoo48]

13. Corporate news, is corporate news. Everything owned by the morbidly wealthy is compromised.

[walkingman]

3. As the Fascist Party controls more and more of the media sites

like DU are more important than ever. You cannot believe a thing that comes out of those that support the MAGA movement. It is more obvious every day that they are using the media to control the narrative.

[Silent Type]

4. CNN, between murders, etc., yesterday, were at protests around the country. Great coverage.

Try this, at least 50 photos from around the country:

9. TY, but interesting there's no mention of the protests on their home page.

The Ninja Creami Deluxe ice cream maker got way more front page space.

[Silent Type]

11. I think the home page today is pretty much Israel Iran. But CNN has been all over LA protests and No Kings protests.

Kind of hard to miss, IMO.

[johnnyfins]

5. CNN is a joke. And EVERYONE knows it.

[NCDem47]

6. Yup. Just looked in.

Not a pixel on No Kings on the home page. There's "miltary parade" stuff there though.

What a hack news organization. Seriously.

[CrispyQ]

7. Whoa!! I haven't visited that site in ages!

It looks like some cheesy People Magazine type site. Two photos of the parade & you are right, not one mention of the protests!

[BoRaGard]

8. CNN bends the knee all the way

and earns a Brown Nose mark of disgrace.

[NewHendoLib]

10. Any "news" org that uses serial liar Scott Jennings is worthless

[Bev54]

12. Been that way for years now, it surprises me daily that people haven't seen it.

[SARose]

14. Live Updates

Anti Trump Protests

Top of the page.

15. They covered the protests yesterday here and there but their commentary was pretty barf-worthy.

Any time I popped in and they were covering the L.A. protest they could NOT stop talking about the agitators or something negative instead of the droves of peaceful protestors. I don't watch CNN but when MSNBC would drop away from the protests I would switch to CNN but it was so bad (after the 3rd time I watched for a few seconds) I decided to stop looking and went to Spectrum 1.

[SARose]

16. Totally agree

All they could talk about or show were the folks looking for trouble and not good trouble, either.

We finally gave up and switched to MSNBC, too.

We also watch CNN less and less. Sad.

[SSJVegeta]

17. This one was at the bottom

https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-no-kings-immigration-protests-06-15-25

[William Seger]

23. And that story begins with...

"Thousands gathered this weekend to attend 'No Kings' protests across the country, denouncing what organizers describe as President Donald Trump’s authoritarian policies."

So, they're acknowledging it happened; they just dispute the numbers by three orders of magnitude.

[SSJVegeta]

24. As im seein is the case in most articles about it.

I saw a picture of maybe a hundred thousand people with a caption that's said "hundreds of people protest in.."

[DENVERPOPS]

18. When I turned on MSNBC that morning

it was filled, non-stop with Minnesota assassination stuff........not sure about CNN, but no question the have totally become FOX news light........

Just for fun, I switched to my local Fox News TV Station........it had cartoons being aired non stop. Then I switched to FOX news on Cable, and it was broadcasting some soccer game in its entirety........

No surprise there...............................

[quakerboy]

19. I can speak for earlier, but it's there now

As a subheading of coverage of trumps military parade, there's a mention of a shooting at a no kings protest.

[bronxiteforever]

20. CNN is regime media.

[AdamGG]

21. They lost me 10 years ago

when they spent a week talking about nothing other than a missing airplane 24/7. Now, they're shifting their coverage politically to the right and it's even worse.

[Wiz Imp]

22. I am not in any way trying to defend or support CNN, but your claim is not entirely true

Currently, the Main Headline on the CNN.Com page is this:

Israel and Iran launch attacks as conflict intensifies

Just above the headline is a banner labeled "Live Updates" and the following 3 items are listed:

Israel-Iran conflict
Anti-Trump protests
Minnesota shooting

So a link to the protest coverage is right there at the top of the home page, you just have to click the link for more information

[cutroot]

25. None of the news orgs supported us when we protested the Vietnam war

We still prevailed

[red dog 1]

26. CNN is despicable!

They are now "covering" the No Kings protests under the heading
"Trump pursues his agenda after a week of protests across the US"

Under the headline "What We're Covering" is
"Anti-Trump Rallies"..."Huge crowds attended 'No Kings' protests across the country yesterday, denouncing what organizers describe as President Donald Trump's authoritarian policies"

At least they're now acknowledging that the "No Kings" protests DID take place across America and were "huge."

[nini]

27. I wish people would just cut them off

Don't watch on TV or use their website.

Stop feeding the beast

[jrthin]

29. I wish we could get that message across to DU'ers. I wish they would understand and appreciate

how supporting the likes of CNN hurts us in the short and long term.

[c-rational]

30. Well said.

[nini]

34. I silent scream every time someone mentions any media outlet that is part of the problem

I grew up boycotting companies that did bad things. My parents followed that rule and so do I now. It’s not that hard to make the change.

[jrthin]

37. Me too. I just don't get it.

[GiqueCee]

28. The FIRST rule...

... of a hostile takeover is: CONTROL THE MESSAGE. Which means, control all major news sources. Crush the little ones later, by drying up their funding. That's why the billionaires bought up all the newspapers, TV and radio stations, and let bags of rat excrement, like Rupert Murdoch and Alex Jones, poison weak minds with malicious drivel. And let us not forget the Evangenitals! They take mindless malice to new heights. Or is it depths?
The wealthy have ALWAYS hated democracy. Oh, they mouth the words when it suits their purposes, but when the bullet hits the bone, it's all about power, which is just shorthand for TOTAL DOMINION OVER THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The word, "dominion" covers a lot, but it especially covers the total subjugation of WOMEN first. That's the quickest way to get the ugly little incels out of mommy's basement and supporting the Dark Side by doing their bidding; attack the demographic that the overweight, oatmeal-faced dweebs resent the most. Those cretins are too busy feeling sorry for themselves to realize that their subjugation is also high on the fascist's to-do list.
CONTROL THE WORKFORCE. Why do you think health insurance is tightly tied to your place of employment? I can't count the number of times I've heard, "I only stay here for the insurance".
MAKE SURE THE PASTY-FACED WHITE BOYS HAVE SOMEONE TO LOOK DOWN ON. Gays, Trans, Immigrants, Hispanic people, Indians, Asians, and especially BLACK PEOPLE! If the dweebs are all wound up hatin' on the wrong people, they're not paying attention to the fact that the rich are robbing them blind by getting their pet Republicans to give them even more tax breaks they don't need or deserve, and making those sorry-ass dweebs pay for it all.
But in the end, the oligarchs never learn: Sooner or later, they ALWAYS lose. BIG time. Images of guillotines dance through my head.

Yeah, we've heard it all before, but I just had to vent my spleen. I really hate these fuckers.

[Joinfortmill]

31. CNN has sucked since Trump ran in 2015. Now, they're swirling down the drain to oblivion. Good Riddance.

[wolfie001]

32. Wall Street is backing the Fat Felonious Fascist 100%

After all, hatred of all workers is in their DNA (they consider them expendable parasites), so this is all fucking Nirvana to them. They'll even fudge their #s to make the Fat Fascist Felon looks good. No one's gonna call them out! I mean who? the gutted SEC? Ha!

[Tootbsb]

33. Why do you watch it?

[TacosUberAlles]

35. Are you on the US site?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

36. CNN is a joke... haven't watched or read it for years!!

But thanks for the report!!

[SupportSanity]

38. CNN Customer Service can be reached at 1 [phone].

Next parade/march, we can call while we're marching and make sure they know it's news.

If they are having difficulty reporting the news, we can help them report it --- by the thousands.
