Calls to boycott CNN because it's...wait for it... fascist right-wing propaganda.  :O

#BoycottCNN as they are now an extension of Fox News. They are part of the Trump/GOP/PUTIN propaganda machine. A boycott is necessary to stop their fascist tactics. Join in on the boycott to help deny CNN ad revenue.

#BoycottCNN trends as liberal viewers complain it’s turning into … right-wing propaganda?

I don't see any need to boycott CNN. They're doing a bang up job of driving away viewers without any help from us.

For a TV network "boycott" to work, the network has to have viewers before they can lose viewers.

This puts me in mind of Bill Clinton lamenting that the media was treating him unfairly and that nobody had ever been hit so hard by a biased media as he was.   :rofl:

More and more, the stuff that comes out of the mouths of leftists and democrats isn't just shading the truth, it's a full 180 degrees opposite to the truth.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

More calls for a boycott this time for suggesting Biden is not as active as Obama and Trump due to his old age and spends too much on vacation.

The people calling for a CNN boycott probably outnumber actual CNN viewers . . . if anything, curiosity about their boycott calls will probably INCREASE CNN viewership, maybe into the double digits.

For a long time now, it has felt as if the news was making satire obsolete.  But when you swing all the way over to lunacy it loses all its comedic value.
