Not necessarily totally Trump's fault but definitely, if true, a huge failure.
The man has the anti-Midas touch.

Well, clearly the solution is to reduce joint military exercises between the US and South Korea even more and maybe drop a few of the sanctions. THEN America will be in stronger negotiating position.

I don't believe this. It is FAKE NEWS. Could we have a general present the findings instead, like say, Colin Powell?

Well, you folks may believe our intel services & surveillance photos -- I choose to believe my President, who takes Panda Kim at his word. As our President told us after their first meeting, the threat is over and we can go peacefully to sleep.

Am I alone in having lost all faith in CNN following its coverage of Trump? Half their headlines about him have been editorials posing as news. I am starting to see them on the level of Fox but in the opposite direction. Long ago they were my go to place for US News.
Are you saying that there's something inaccurate about their coverage? If so, what? If someone is actually a criminal who lies all the time and abuses the power of his office, taking a position that it's bad that he's a criminal who lies all the time and abuses the power of his office isn't a negative - it's a sign of having objective journalistic standards.
The main issue with Fox News is that they allowed the bias in their reporting to affect the accuracy of their reporting so that their viewers were uninformed about reality. If you're saying CNN is becoming the same as them, what inaccuracies are you asserting?

Yeah, reporting on a missile testing site is definitely nothing but anti-Trump propaganda by CNN.

Well, there's probably a hundred foreign countries, like maybe Hawaii and Wakanda, out there building missile test facilities, and CNN doesn't say word one about them. But let Trump bloviate about how well we're doing denuclearizing North Korea, how trust worthy Kim is, and waste a week trying to inflict a deal on NK, and CNN is all hyped about NORTH KOREA'S damned missile test facility, just to show Trump up.

Not alone. They are becoming the Anti-State-TV channel, competing with MSNBC for the title. I don't get why they don't give Trump any credit for ... anything.
Oh, wait! Yes I do. It's because he's a traitor who is trying to save his position, his ass and his fortune at the expense of American democracy and the American people, and has done NOTHING that deserves any "credit" whatsoever.
I think you may be alone in thinking this is a reason to lose faith in CNN.
Can you please tell us what they’ve said that is not true? Or what they should have reported instead? Seems like this piece is pretty factual.
Also, what a loser Trump is, with his “I can walk away” from a country that is threatening nuclear build-up. Yeah, just walk away and let them do it. Loser.
Fake Missile!

pResident tRump deserves an Ig Nobel Peace Prize for this deal. We could even call it the Neville Chamberlain Memorial Prize.

The right wing doesn't give a fuck about the truth. All they want is their own propaganda.

^Yep.
One just needs to be aware of CNN's weaknesses. They are not 'liberal', they are what I call statist. Sure they aren't like Phaux News, in supporting the hard right wing and the alt-reality crown. But they do generally support the US military-complex and tread lightly on the abortion issue among a few other things. But it is pretty tough to cover FFvC without having to deal with a daily barrage of his Con and BS.

Trump, after Munich Conference:
"Good evening. I have just concluded a wonderful meeting with Herr Hitler, and I am announcing that the threat of war with Germany is over. The world can sleep peacefully tonight....If you had not elected me President, we would be at war by now. But I have a great relationship with Adolph. He wrote me some beautiful letters, and we fell in love...He is a strong leader who loves his people, and you know it's not easy to rule a country like this one. But when he speaks, his people sit up at attention...He says that Czechoslovakia is his last issue, and my people came to me and told me not to trust him, but I must tell you that he was very forceful in his position that this is the last demand, and I take him at his word. Herr Hitler told me about the problems he's had on his eastern border, with basically Czech rapists and murderers and, I assume, some fine people...(Reporter: Did you ask about Kristallnacht?) Yes, I certainly did, and again, he most forcefully told me that the so-called Kristallnacht was a hoax, or Ersatz Neues, as I think they call it here. Again, my advisors told me that the Nazis did it, but I can't imagine why it would have been the Nazis...He showed me pictures of Danzig and the Polish corridor, and with my background, I could see beautiful real estate with a waterfront view. I would love to get in on that and make wonderful deals for us and for Herr Hitler....I will be sending Jared as my personal envoy...He will be staying in Berlin, perhaps in a special apartment in Herr Hitler's personal quarters...(Reporter: But isn't...no, forget it.) (Trump body-hugs the American flag, while making goo-goo eyes for the camera. He turns and briefly heils the Nazi flag.) Remember, my campaign was based on promises made, promises kept. And now, Sean Hannity. Come on up here, Sean!!

CNN sucks as a strong media outlet, but not for the reasons Fox sucks as one. It is lowest common denominator news media.
That CNN seems to be targetting Trump a lot would be more of an indication that President Trump is violating so many different institutions of the Presidency that hasn't been seen... well... ever in our history. We've had overreaches before, many of them. But Trump just doesn't seem to realize he is President of democracy.
No. The Ig Nobels are for research that is useless or the like, not for failures. An Ig Nobel Peace Prize would be awarded for things like negotiating an end to the Dutch-Scilly War. (Lasted 335 years, zero dead.)
