A group of Trump supporters gathered outside of CNN’s headquarters in Atlanta in an attempt to protest against “fake news” on Saturday — but the sparsely attended rally only drew an estimated 30 people.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the protest, which was live-streamed through the web by Breitbart News, featured people holding signs that said things like “Beware fake news” and “CNN: Criminal News Network.”

The protesters walked around outside of CNN on the sidewalk chanting, “No more fake news” and other slogans.

“We’re here to tell CNN no more fake news,” organizer Melanie Morgan told the AJC. “They have to know people who are here expect fairness in journalism.”

Not that CNN is perfect but RW media has spent decades convincing these people that everything else is a lie and that they alone provide the truth.

What, 25 years? 30?

People don't understand that they should look at information and think for themselves.

Sounds like the kind of thing the Republicans would try to arrange, Russian subsidies to attack the truth and facts.

They believe Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell over the CBO and almost every health consumer group on the GOP healthcare bills. And they believe Donald Trump over CNN. They are the idiocracy, here in the 21st Century.

that CNN has probably been the most unbiased of all of them, for a very long time. Their international news is legendary.
