I stopped watching CNN back in 2017, and when I see stories like this, I'm reminded why that was a good decision!

I'm a 60 year old white woman and this pisses me off!!! 🤬🤬🤬

[Muerice]

Stopped watching CNN so long ago. I dont trust them

[judd]

No longer watch CNN and other mainstream "legacy" corporate media.

Amercia needs to be constantly held accountable. What a cop out statement. This is why we need a no Dale out black moral leader. No issues to represent but our own period. There is no other group to fight for but our own. We need to boycott again

[deblibra]

I will not watch CNN. I will be right here with you.

[Mrs.Walker]

This makes ALL SENSE to me now, this is why Mr. Lemon was dismissed. SMDH!

[AugustMoon]

Roland love your show, respect your opinions and your views on everything. Thanks for all you do.

[annettehumphrey]

The new owner at CNN has changed the whole culture and vibe...😒

[gwendolynbrown-white]

😮😡. What???😳 they excluded Black media. This stuff is sickening.

[belindasanders]

This is why I haven't watched CNN in years.

[eunicebanks]

I though all the media's was apart of this important debate. I'm very disappointed.

[Glenna-md]

I’m a white lady an I think that’s so disrespectful..

[paulettebc]

Why were they excluded? Did they apply before the deadline? If they knew about the deadline to apply but didn't apply prior to the deadline, then they should be excluded.

[NinaDisco]

Wtf CNN! So outrageous! No wonder people say the mainstream is biased. It's basically pay for play! Wow. Roland is, once again, informing and educating the public with FACTS.

[MannysMillennialMouth]

CNN has a whole studio in Atlanta
So denying local press really makes 0 sense. There's no excuse

[lewisbracy]

They gave lame excuses. There is no excuse.

[rainyhollowell]

It wasn't just black media. It was ALL media.
