• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

CNN has hit a new low

can you imagine the outrage if FOX had done this before Obamas inauguration?

Or maybe they just watch too much tv. Either way it is irresponsible.


This isn't news nor investigative reporting.

I didn't know that they had such a thing, but it's good to know that they do. If this is the worst thing you have to say about CNN, I'd say you were really, really desperate.

I don't usually post in politics but I couldn't resist. In my younger days I was trained as a journalist and worked in the field for some time. We were trained and hopefully they still teach at journalist schools, that anytime a write deviates from reporting unbiased news the person is editorializing.

IMO there is a place for editorializing and writing features. But it shouldn't be on the front page where straight news should be.

CNN does some things well but it's inundated with editorializing and bias. The way some outlets are going I find that I have to skip around to get the news but it is a pain to not be able to find it in one place.

Faithfully,

It's an interesting piece about the byzanthine rules of the US government.

What's so low about that? The precautions are already taken, no reason not to report on them.

Telling the truth is now considered low by some.

You can't put it on YouTube if it isn't true.

The problem isn't that people think that you can't put it on Youtube if it isn't true. The problem is that people think that you can't put it on CNN if it isn't true. At least Youtube has the option of finding opposing view points, while CNN will "accidentally" lose your connection if you go off script.

Why are people still watching CNN? Go to youtube and search for "CNN Lies" and watch the results come in.

You can do the same thing with Fox. Heck, you can do the same thing with any media outlet.

You can REALLY do the same thing with Trump.

Edit: And you get three times more results with Trump.

Right, except CNN no longer follows that ideal. They will either lie by admission, act as a gatekeeper, or argue from ignorance.

Yes, yes you can. I never said anything about either being more credible.

Perhaps you could point out the lies in that story, or supply what was missing.

The lie is everything after CNN.

You need to get with the program. It was the “in” thing to be on the Trump Train before the election. After tomorrow, getting on the Trump Train will have a whole new meaning and end badly for those who get put on it.
