Cnn you are a losing joke

I love my President!

U put him in there..

Stop putting him on the fucking TV! Or every time he opens his mouth, stop and fact check him before you move on to his next lie.

No network has been more misleading about this pandemic than CNN. “It’s accelerating”.. learn statistics 101. You and your “journalists” are a joke..

He is directly responsible for people not taking the virus seriously at the beginning of the outbreak. It’s a shame his ego & mismanagement has resulted in such a loss of life. How can anyone still support this buffoon?

I won't watch the propaganda anymore! Two briefings and I packed it in. Can't stand the circus and misinformation! Only want to hear from Dr. Fauci.

vous inquiétez pas cette 精神分裂症 va nous sauvez oui sinon qui va le sauver lui se débille et encore plus debille que toute l’amerique reuni avec le sud les autres qui voit des ovni 😜

The Best president ever realDonaldTrump

Oh no, Please stop this psychopath!

I don’t think his followers care. They clearly aren’t capable of thinking critically, or for themselves.

How about Ol’ Joe being an actual Professor at Penn State that he just claimed(?) Lie...or maybe just in his head. I guess CNN won’t cover that.

I don’t know why everyone is so surprised about him he be doing that for three years and a half

Fake news. Better fact check CNN.

CNN = FNN.....Fake News Network

Blow it up your left cheek , left news Fake news , Trump pence 2020 The storm is here WWG1WGA

MaryWCVB Just make it to November 3rd. Please!

CNN fake news

More fake news.

Wow

I am blaming the old people that are stockpiling all the groceries in the stores. PERIOD.

We don't need this CNN we need positivity in this country now good news that us for another and time please be positive people need it now from the front lines and staying home USA USA USA

Americans will be better off if the news media stopped reporting his falsehoods. It isn’t anything new. Start covering the people that know the truth.

What a load of propaganda from this alleged fact check. Everything was beautiful...LIE. Cmon, a 6th grader knows adjectives like beautiful can't be fact checked. You are a joke.

Fake News CNN - he can't catch up with you in the lies department.

It's CNN!

And why do you keep airing it?

And all your fake news. 80 percent of it.

Stop covering him. He can’t carry on without an audience. ABC and CBS don’t carry the “briefings” anymore. Show some guts and don’t give him a platform

Lmao!!! Losers!

Yet Gov. Cuomo says literally the same things and you cherish him for it. They’ve been sharing talking points for the last two weeks and rails on Trump and calls Cuomo “presidential”. And you wonder why you get called “fake news” every day.

Remember in November!

and also president be careful when you're dealing with Uber because Uber is connected to Green. Green. Has a big chunk of uber in their pocket yeti Uber keep telling me your account was used in Ohio New Jersey then they'll put a hold on my 💰

CNN =crap

I can’t wait till you are out business MAGA2020Landslide

Anyone who wants to stay alive should not listen to Trump’s coronavirus updates. FULL STOP!

I just tune in to laugh. Lol. It’s nonsense and everyone knows it. If he cares about ratings at a time like this, he’s should be taken out of office for dereliction of duty. I get more real info from the governors and mayors... Donald Chump should be ashamed!

Misstatements? Is that the same as oopsies? Should I giggle?

Novel idea here... stop airing his lies!!!

Go away CNN , seriously do the world a favor

CNN, the COVID-19 situation calls for solutions not accusations. Please offer some constructive guidance! Only people devoid of brilliant ideas point accusing fingers in a situation such as this. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!!

Controlled Nonsense Network will never give one ounce of credit to our President which is one of the myriad reasons your rating are so low.

The healing is in the blood of those who have survived...O Blood is the resistance...O negative that is used for the blood transfusion in premature babies.. We have a balance of ABO.. maybe blending the three with give us the antidoteOr O may do the job... Just a thought.

Let’s give Dr.Fauci his own private news briefing.

Oh cmon everyone you should know this by now. Don’t pay attention to what he says, instead try to figure out what he tried to say.

Trump is withholding ventilators from blue states so he can flood the red states when they ask. Our president is systematically'culling the herd'. It's time for the 25th Amendment to be implemented.

Really. Now do your own station...

Lawsy, you people have become sad. Smh.....

It would be great if you could send someone who was capable of comprehending the press conference. Low intelligence on the part of your reporters

If you don’t need the money, HELP your community by DONATING the money to a local charity, church or Food Bank! AmericanshelpingAmerica

Actually every single day CNN is on tv, more people are dying from their lies every single day there is so much blood on CNN’s head.

TimesUpBiden

Now I’m reading a mentally ill message SMH HMMM don’t know where to begin with trump bc of his falsehoods when the journalists asked him tough questions he attacks them and say it’s fake news but do this compile and synchronized him in his own words don’t put it under the rug now

Similar to how CNN purposely only reports parts of quotes in order to appease their base. Pot meet Kettle, you two seems like a great fit

Has CNN admitted they’re not unbiased yet?

I believe CNN Fact Check is an oxymoron.

Why can’t this man be transparent being in the state this country is in he says fake media I say fake president.

Best thing to do is take him off the air...

STOP THE LYING!!!

He’s dangerous. Can his ass in November. VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot, folks!

He is an idiot

CNN NOBODY BELIEVES YOUR CRAP ANYMORE !

Then stop showing them live...and do recaps of only newsworthy and factual information. As a journalist, my mantra is to always verify before sharing the news. And if your source is consistently untruthful, don’t air it live. It’s not your job to air campaign rallies.

you’re still 11th in the ratings. Nobody is listening to your garbage anymore. The fact that you think your viewers are dumb and won’t fact check your claims is offensive. But please keep going. It got him elected once. It’ll get him re-elected in November.

Quit covering his press conferences live ... his lies will get people killed!

Pot calls kettle black...

Ridiculous

How would you know? I thought you and your followers were not watching?

He never said that .

“All flu is a form of corona. This is just a different new strain” from a medical pro I know personally.

We dont believe you

Baffling to me the amount of people that still defend this man. He would trade American lives to see the stock market rise and make money in a heart beat.

kimara2627 YET, YOU CONTINUE TO PUT THE ORANGE MONSTER ON TV. STOP!

Good Morning America was just saying how he is upset that none of the Governors are grateful for what they did get. WTF? It's your job you idiot. Really, can we be done with this failure as a President, failure as a human being already? November folks, November!

That’s why I don’t watch them until he is done spewing out his nonsense!

This is a big campaign by the obama shadow government during election year name one virus since 1970 that has spread to 149 countries in two months this is all about control and power by the shadow government

I’m pretty sure only thing baffling coming from his need conferences is your take.

Please you hate him - some of us are grateful for him! 💙🌈

My favorite is when he labeled the virus as a hoax created by the Democrats. The full statement he made is on video. Not edited or taken out of context. It’s real.

This IMPOTUS cannot be allowed to continue like this for the duration of this global crisis 🤷🏼‍♀️When is someone/anyone going to stand up to him? He is not God and is a dangerous idiot 😣

It must suck to lose all the time.

CNN is an excellent example of why Donald Trump will be the President of the United States for another 4 years. Over the previous 4 years CNN is nothing but a hysteric dumpster fire.

Trump is having a mental and emotional breakdown in front of the nation during his corona virus briefings. We need to elect Biden!

Awww, is corrupt FakeNews cnn upset they are the cespool news network

YOU GUYS ARE FAKE AND AN ENEMY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

You all should worry about your candidate, you know, the one with early onset dementia 🙄

Then call him out

CNN is still misleading the public. When will someone stop them?

By this time, we should all know the one sign that Donald Trump is lying: his lips are moving. And shamefully, Republicans in office and White Hiuse staff support the lies. And praise the President for it.

It’s all fake news

How many false statements has CNN made? There is a reason you are call fake news

He’s there all the time reassuring and going above and beyond In terms of energy and commitment. That’s his job. He has experts with him up with the play beside him to give you the details. Do your part, give him the credit he deserves.

Stop airing his lies.

This is CNN!

Wrong.. watch the briefings. CNN misleads everyone

No. Fact Check CNN. The true enemy of the American people Coronavirus

CNN has been Baffling false news for years .. might be why their ratings are lower than the food channel...

I'm turning your station off and going to other channels when you show him.

If all you guys worried about lies then unfollow them

Idiot

Been part of the wh since day one

Stop airing them

Misstatements? Aren’t you idiots running Joe Biden?

But it is the flu

This whole person is misleading.

Lyin Donald!!!!!

Seriously how is any of this a shock? What did you expect when you voted this guy in, MAGA KAG?

Wouldn't it be easier to list what Trump said that was correct or true? It would be a very short list.

Lying liberal fascist CNN! Picky attacks on Trump! Start reporting on all LIBERAL RUN states that are spreading the “flu!” The most cases are in LIBERAL RUN states? Why? Because liberals are too selfish to care about others! And their governors were too late issuing guidelines!

More bullshit from a failing network. It gets worse by the day, so happy your network is blocked on all of my televisions. And news feeds.

We are tired of fake news, go into the woods with Hillary.

What about all the false & misleading claims on impeachment CNN was push all year while the coronavirus crept on into the USA. The media fails to their job, and you want us to feel sorry for ya and believe you this time? NOPE!

FAKENEWSCNN

Please get him off the air!

How about this?

Does anyone remember this ?

Trump’s has to go.

Misstatements, you CNN should know about that.

And yet you all and other news stations continue to keep airing his daily ignorance .... I cant even watch anymore it's the same thing everyday

The Nonsense ..

Stop airing these live! You don’t always have to scoop other networks. Responsible journalism is a must. Not everything is breaking news! By the commentary isn’t news either. I’m talking to you MSNBC FoxNews Do your job and report the facts!

تضليل بدأ من الاول هو يقول فيروس صيني بالعكس الفايروس هو من أطلقه وعلى مايبدوا الرئيس الصيني لديه الأجوبة الصادقة مع الاسف العالم يحكمه مجموعة من المجرمين على هيئة بشر راقية وهم يسطرون التاريخ بأفعالهم 🤔

Tonald Drump has no idea.

It’s ok America loves him And by the time it’s too late America will realize what he realize is

Instead of scrutinize anything potus is saying WHY don't report on BIDEN'S SEXUAL ASSAULD UNVEILED CNN have avoided to cover the story thus far

Is anyone really surprised?

If you could fact check yourself, that’d be great

Remember the days when the White House didn’t have press conferences?

SO STOP AIRING THEM! Cut in when Dr. Fauci gets up to the microphone

He won't stop until you say he lies... 'false claims' is a euphemism.

MORE BULL FROM CNN

Seriously, Trump’s behaviour and speeches are so strange it suggests he has mental health issues that make him unfit to be the POTUS.

Trump 20/20 baby!! is coming in a big exodus 100%

Please stop airing his briefings!!

Friday’s update from Trump had like 5 falsehoods on his report or observation.

You put trumps name in , I think you meant Biden !!!!!! Even your own interviews he is not all there but u refuse too tweet it . Hmmm 🤔 I wonder why ! Fake news

Fake news as usual

May God punish reporters, your efforts to cajole POTUS will only take him higher.

Shocking lol

KEEP the camera running on his empty podium!!

Why does this imbecile keep talking? He is so dangerous. Can't someone shut him up? PLEASE!!!

cnn If Trump’s “inaccuracies” and “false and misleading claims” at the coronavirus briefings are part of a well-documented pattern that puts folks in danger, WHY ARE YOU TELEVISING THEM LIVE?

MeatballMom2 Maybe because he’s an idiot. Can we just call it what it is?

I watched the briefing. CNN should be ashamed as this is bullshit.

Why are the people die on the streets you are a leader go pick up the bodies in nyc

CNN should be tried for treason.

25thNOW

CNN how about you check your own facts.

Trumps incompetence is astonishing!!! Lol Not really!!! He's living up to his potential...Really! TrumpsanIDIOT

No creo que las emisoras de noticias deban meterse en política. Eso deteriora a las instituciones democráticas. Para muestra vean lo qué pasó en Vzla.

After about 3 minutes of all his briefings he gets repetitive and just looks incompetent

CNN =COMMUNIST,NEWS, NETWORK!!!!!

So why doesn’t the media ban together and not give him this pulpit to preach from and share his ‘version’ of the truth with everyone.

There has to be something we can do to take him out of office when he’s putting millions in danger ..I wonder if he’s just trying to kill millions

TRUMP 2020! Communist News Network....never.

You blame him. He blame you. Good entertainment at the times of StayHomeSaveLives

He is a pathetic joke .

So STOP AIRING IN REAL TIME! You are not obligated to do so. You can record and preface every remark as a lie before you ait it! You keep giving a platform to misinform. Doing it after the fact does NOTHING! Damage is done and you are responsible too!

wethepeople are pissed, cnn has got to stop misleading the public by twisting statements and using partial sound bites. trump is very very honest transparent and informative. cnn on the other hand is flat out liars! cnn hires nobody hacks who couldn’t do real work! msm

fakenews

And CNN is still a bottom dweller

Your network needs to be producing positive segments and artical. Just look at what all of the good things. I know you can do it just once.

He is a joke

Media.should stop covering these ‘briefings’ live as if they were real corona updates. They were, but Trump couldn’t stand seeing attn focused on anything but Trump, so he hijacked them and turned them into daily campaign appearances. And you saps are letting him get away w it.

Congress not voting to act upon the impeachment to remove Trump from office will go down in our history as one of the greatest mistakes.

And yet, the networks still air it.

Cnn is vomiting again

All CNN does is make false and misleading claims.

You guys are so pointless 😂

That’s what happens every time he goes off script. Starts rambling and making false statements. If anything is fake, it’s him 😂

CNN is the definition of fake news.

People in Italy are recovering from the virus 🦠.... CNN-

Why are you still covering his daily shit shows?!?!?!?

TRUMPLIES TRUMPLIES TRUMPLIES TRUMPLIES TRUMPLIES TRUMPLIES

CNN is a expert in false claims.

I heard channel 7 didn't cover it.

Yet why is this lost on 51% of the public. Somethings not right, it doesn’t add up!!

Fake news and you guys never stop w the manipulation!!!

They are not briefings. They are an impeached narcissistic psychopath's way to hold his beloved rallies. STOP COVERING HIM!

Says the network who lies all day, everyday!

CNN = FAKE NEWS

Misstatements made on purpose are lies. Why not just call it that?

And CNN plays his briefings from start to finish. Not helping, folks!

This has surprised me and I’m looking at CNN and the media in a different light. Hmmmm 3/3

It is a flu - and by next year everyone will be calling it a flu.

CNN often spins or twists what he says to make it seem like something outrageous, even if his intent was clear and not inflammatory 2/

TRUMP needs to resign immediately. He is killing us.

Stop broadcasting them!

Just love it know one is on your pages less the 200 people like your page. U guys are a bunch of hate filled idiots. Enemy of the people. Why arent U reporting stories about the people that are getting better with the drug trump has been telling us about. Washington nursing home

Best President Ever

But yet, you guys at CNN do it by the minute!

It’s actually not as deadly as the flu but I’ll keep quiet ..

Who else is ready to campaign for 'Any Functioning Adult 2020'?

He's a compulsive liar. He doesn't feel the need to change. So sad... We need a true leader.

cnn is the liberal equivalent of Trump. You both are shameful.

Fact check: Trump utters series of false and misleading claims at coronavirus briefingPresident Trump delivered another series of false and misleading claims at the White House coronavirus briefing on Thursday. Here is a preliminary roundup. Why is that only one reporter of yours has actually called these clowns out on their bullshit? U all sit there and roll your eyes or smirk or post crap like this. How bout getting a pair and calling bullshit on live TV. Thank you Brianna Keilar for saying it!! Dr Fauci noted 'Things are made & implemented at the local level. The Federal Gov. is a facilitator, it is a SUPPLIER & supporter. It is really a MARRIAGE between the Federal Gov. as a facilitator & where the real action is at the State level.'

Governor Slams Trump Ventilator Claim As 'Ignorant' And 'Uninformed'President Trump claimed that New York officials ignored ventilators sent by the federal government — and instead attacked the White House for not doing more.
