    CNN is the propaganda arm for the Globalist-Collectivists, geared towards the centrist/left-collectivist populous.

    CFoxR is the propaganda arm for the Globalist-Collectivists, geared towards the rightist-collectivist populous.

    MSNBC is the propaganda arm for the Globalist-Collectivists, geared towards the leftist-collectivist populous.

    There are others in both the electronic and print media that function for the same purpose.

    The destruction of America as we know it to be with the Justice Brothers aims hammering the wedge of inequality among people playing a major role.

    ......CNN exsists to tell the Liberals and their ilk why they live and whom to worship.
    The Newest Elected Socialist Government Traitors, who will forever relieve those boot lickers of acting as a Real Man should, or as a Real Woman should.

    The beast will become the total controlling fulcrum of their wretched filthy wicked lives,
    these liberals and their ilk whom can hardly wait for that future field day to arrive,
    where upon they will each kneel, each in obedient turn,to lick at the boots and the feet of their chosen master.....The Beast.

    In short,...CNN is nothing more than a profane figment of morality within any decent and free society.

    Welcome to their very profiled view of: "THE NEW WORLD ORDER"

    CNN sings the glee club chorus to end the America of yesteryear.


    This view should prove appropriate on Memorial day.[^]

    They're part of no great conspiracy, just smart enough to realize there's an * for every seat. They're feeding a specific market in order to rake in advertising dollars, same with ALL news programs - or more correctly 'news based shows'. People are drawn to watch whichever of these outlets tends to reinforce their overall views and each one milks their audience for all they're worth.

    If you believe any news outlet's true goal is to insure the public stays fully informed of what's going on in their world you probably also get up extra early every year trying to spot the Easter bunny.

    CNN was established before the Internet, text messaging, and cellphones became mainstream to keep people "up to the minute" on breaking news.
    Before CNN, news at 0800, 1200, 1700, and 2200, plus bulletins that would break in regular programming were the only way to receive instant news.
    They were great during the First Gulf War for anyone old enough to remember that.

    CNN started in 1980..when did the Internet become widely available? Surely much later than that

    Usenet was founded in 79 but nntp wasn't established till 86. I will say CNN is older than I thought but my original statement reads true, still.

    Probably the same reason Fox "News" exists, to spread highly biased propaganda.
