So a conservative shareholder complained. Big whoop. And we care about this why? The fact that the majority of CNN guests on a particular day were critical of Trump just could be due to the fact that Trump's actions are perceived by the majority of Americans as deserving of criticism, hence his abysmal approval ratings. Oftentimes CNN has some staunch republicans on the show that are not very complimentary of Trump. That does not speak to any lack of independence of CNN, but to the quality of the person in the whitehouse.
