  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I just opened the CNN app, and the first story was an opinion piece (called analysis) about Trump.

For a news site, you’d think that they would start with news, especially with all that’s happened the last few days.

Your internet history, collected by google and various spyware, propably caused their algorythm to calculate that this story was most likely to keep you on their website for as long as possible.

So really, you only have yourself to blame.

Their main focus as been Stormy lately, even when much more important things have been going on. And I don't even mean pro-Trump, but major world events, they cut to Stormy.

We're not here to help Hammy, we're here to blame. :)

At any rate, I just opened the CNN app and the front page is

"Malaysia election shock as opposition coalition claims victory"

So maybe it is just you.

Regardless, it was still an opinion piece. That should never happen.

Alright then, since you want to take this seriously. The app remembers your last selection across their top banner, and re-opens that selection when you re-open the app. I will go out on a limb and suggest your previous visit to the app ended on the opinion page.

It was the very first time I used the app.
