Talk:CNN

Should we add CNN's controversies to this article?

I feel like since the controversies of other news channels/publications are connected to their respective articles, we should do that to this article. Chimichangazzz (talk) 01:48, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Chimichangazzz

There was no consensus to remove this section in the first place, not even a discussion. After two reverts of this were reverted, somehow a consensus is now required to re-include this? Seriously @Objective3000? Mellk (talk) 01:58, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

I invite you to reintroduce a controversy section. The bias of the articles on this website are incredible. Fox News’s article is filled with multiple sections detailing its controversies whereas this article has none. The article CNN controversies isn’t even linked here anymore, most likely to reduce visibility. Sanger is 100% correct in his feelings about this website.

I invite you to show us what you want to add before you add it, because the article CNN is currently subject to discretionary sanctions. All editors must obtain consensus on the talk page of this article before reinstating any edits that have been challenged (via reversion).

I would normally suggest with the seemingly simplest and most logical answer to your question and say just add the CNN controversies page either linked or in full section - but I just read through it. It's absolutely littered with things like " in 2011 CNN anchor on this date burned a Republican with a mildly aggressive joke." Or "in 201 Trump made a false, completely unfounded claim that has definitely been proven to be a 100% made up CONSPIRACY THEORY fact checked by independent upstanding organizations who have no proven connection to CNN like WaPo or Politifact."

I mean seriously guys. Come on. You even still have claims in these articles that the Russian collusion hoax was still legitimate. Actually, as of today President Trump has fully unsealed the FBI investigations that provably show that the Steele Dossier was in fact a collusion by the Obama admin and Hillary Clinton to take the public's attention off of her deleted Emails scandal. It's all in the declassified investigation reports.

Other than that, we can just cut right to the chase and thru the BS "my team vs your team" nonsense and be willing to call out when your political party makes a mistake or commits a scandal. 2020 alone could fill 5 pages of CNN 'alleged scandals' - from the berating of Trump literally around the clock, to the footage obtained by Project Veritas listening to their weekly meetings where they've laid out plots to swing public perception to the side of the democrats, to constantly labeling the race riots of 2020 which caused over $2 Billion in damage and over 24 (up to 48 ) deaths, as "mostly peaceful" all while the mayhem unfolded on live tv. You could also include the sexist and racist comments by Don Lemon that falsely claimed that white men are the most dangerous demographic in the country.

I can go into detail with a slew of additional examples in the event you are actually interested in introducing a fair and balanced reporting of the party with who's public declarations most align with the staff of this and the other major big tech and information gathering websites and even the ones with opinions that yourselves and the other sites despise. I for one would be interested in the complete picture for once, which for the past 5 years has been brutally obstructed by biasness and partisanship.

Thanks. I cautiously and perhaps naively look forward to an effort to eliminate the gross imbalances being displayed. Yashamaga (talk) 23:19, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

If you are going to call Fox news a conservative news agency you need to call CNN a liberal or left wing news agency 2600:1700:DFE1:6E90:9973:C687:3C9F:302E (talk) 17:09, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Italic text

Second to last paragraph on intro page (talks about ratings, rating from 2019, needs to be updated with current ratings. Here's a link to their current https://cnnpressroom.blogs.cnn.com/2020/12/02/cnn-smashes-ratings-records-in-november-has-its-most-watched-month-ever/ Bec23023 (talk) 23:57, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Also, preferably with a secondary source. The source cited its own press release with source of the figures not declared. Neilsen? or what other organisation had made the ratings? – robertsky (talk) 05:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

cstiker05's additions

I reverted Cstiker05's first addition relating to bias in the lead, as it did not cite any reliable source and was based on the idea that articles on similar topics must describe them in similar (or balanced) ways. That is not the case. We write about subjects based on the reliable sourcing for that subject, not other subjects. This subsequent edit seems based on the same reasoning, adding related content likewise based on insufficient sources (see WP:RSP for entries on NY Post and Fox on politics). Not reverting due to restrictions on this page. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Headquarters

CNN officially lists the headquarters of CNN as CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia. This is being changed on this and other articles to 10 Hudson Yards, New York City. While New York does host a CNN bureau (as does Washington and numerous other cities throughout the US and the world), this is not where CNN is headquartered. I have reverted this article back to Atlanta and included three citations.
