attempt to control the content they air...basically not allowing it {Administration} to use them as propaganda for their reelection campaign...for free actually.... When there is a change in Administration in November..and they take office in 2021, hopefully there will be seriouse consequences to be had for those who have been misusing the powers they have had No more Mr. nice guy... ============================== "CNN has been informed by a spokesman for Vice President Michael Pence that it cannot have access to top government health officials grappling with the nation’s coronavirus pandemic unless it televises specific portions of the Trump Administration’s daily briefings on the spread of the disease. “When you guys cover the briefings with the health officials then you can expect them back on your air,” a Pence spokesperson told CNN, according to a report posted Thursday" ============================== www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-tries-limit-cnn-153759304.html

good riddance. CNN should assemble it's own experts, including Fauci, and become the trusted source for information. clearly the administration is not up to the task.

I'm not sure who you mean by 'those who abused their power' but I hope the Democrats do NOT use their power to punish people of other political persuasions. If someone broke laws, we better be damn sure they were purposefully, maliciously criminals, otherwise we will be in a cycle of everyone trying to jail the previous administration.
When they go low, we go high.

I'm surprised CNN is still on the air. How many times have they been caught lying and reporting 'fake news'?
Can't believe anybody still gives them any credibility.
Personally, I have stopped watching all 'entertainment' cable news, including Fox News. All they care about is ratings, and last I heard, CNN's rating were circling the toilet.

... last I heard, CNN's rating were circling the toilet. So time for an update: Even though Fox remains king of the hill, its worth noting that CNN nearly doubled their viewership from March 2019. The network’s daytime viewership was up a whopping 88 percent from March last year, and prime time saw an even bigger surge, up by 109 percent. link

Can u post examples of the lying and "fake news" u are claiming CNN is guilty of? Or are u just throwing things out there not expecting anyone to call u on your accusations. Have to ask, with out going back to look at your previouse posts, are u one of the Donalds supporters?

As for CNN, it's been almost four years since I've watched CNN, Fox, or any of the other cable news networks. I got fed up with them. I especially couldn't stand that idiot, Wolf Blitzer. Don't know if he's still there, but as I recall, the idiot could barely speak. He couldn't get through a paragraph without flubbing and constantly having to say, "excuse me." Here he is during Katrina pointing out the people there are "so black." Lol

Ok, forget answering about your feelings regarding the Donald...went back and reviewed your posting history..got it.. Since you are new here, unless u are old but arranged to come back in as a new member..yes it's possible and has happened...u mentioned another poster not being chastised for what ever...usually that is done privatly by PM..no one else's business and I speak {post} from experience...There are usually many corrections and coachings before some one is banned...This forum has many readers of and a few active posters...I will suggest of the actual posters, the majority lean left...there are some who lean right and they are welcome..it gives us something to discuss..to just pat one self on the back gets tiresome and boring...However ...to troll the forum is not acceptable and recently has been very apparent to most of us...and will suggest...action has been taken to rid forum of Trolling.. Just to clarify what is internet trolling: "...If you’ve been on the internet for any period of time, you’ve likely run into a troll at some point. An internet troll is someone who makes intentionally inflammatory, rude, or upsetting statements online to elicit strong emotional responses in people or to steer the conversation off-topic.

And you have clearly taken out of context what Blitzer said which was "So many of these people, almost all of them we see are so poor, and they are so black, and this is going to raise a lot of questions..."

CNN is in 22nd, just for reference. it is below the Discovery Channel and ION (which I have never heard of before today)
