Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum. What a waste of air.

Sounds like it has the potential to become the first ever streaming service that pays YOU to watch it.

CNN is fake news.

Does that mean it will be removed from my other packages? If so, hallelujah

What's 'Streaming Services No One Wants'? for $1000 Alex

Drunk or stoned Don the DL? Doesn't matter. Everyone knows what lemon will say - white ppl bad, LE bad, no illegals are in US since Biden took ofc, everyone who disagrees is racist &/or an uncle tim, etc all while pretending to cry. Ugh

No one is going to use a streaming service for news except the extremes. No one sits down after a long day and says, I wonder what Don Lemon has to say? Let’s find his show. You can insert anyone at Fox, NBC, CBS, etc

cnn has certain numbers of frofessionals . that s for sure .what they really need is freedom and independance .

News Shows from Certified CNN Clowns

How much are they paying people to watch?

They can’t rely on airport viewers 😂

In the name of Jesus cast our enemies down

TheRickWilson We’ll with that, it looks like this is an easy nope.

Not good for public health.
