Their profits have slumped steeply since 2016, reflecting the energy the channel poured into reporting on former President Donald Trump. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Reporting on the Greatest President in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century? More like sliming and lying. The blind hatred of the media for President Trump is, in my admittedly limited view, unprecedented in the history of the United States. We\u2019ve always had newspapers backing one side or the other, and they\u2019ve been very partisan. However, you had multiple sources and people could read both sides and come to some sort of a conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>CNN was all Trump all the time and always looking for anything they could use to not just get President Trump out of office, but jailed. CNN helped cover up all the criminal activities of Hunter \u201cHoovernose\u201d Biden and \u201cThe Big Guy,\u201d all to Get Trump. The Results have led to CNN becoming a laughing stock and now people have left them.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/27\/26\/67\/2726670fd3151618001c89566b688968.png?resize=450%2C369&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"450\" height=\"369\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They used to have a monopoly on televisions in Airports, meaning a captive audience.
