I’ve called CNN the Clinton News Network, the Communist News Network and now…the Clown News Network. If you’ll look at their parking lot in the morning, you’ll see all the anchors getting out of one little car. THEN the fun begins!
 
17 September 2015, Dow Jones Institutional News (New York, NY), “Donald Trump: Even I’m Surprised With How Much Air Time I Got at GOP Debate”:
The cover of New York’s Daily News today refers to CNN as the “Clown News Network.”

CNN is a joke.  Literally.  Conan O’Brien, Joel McHale, Larry Wilmore, and even Barack Obama tell the truth about CNN in comedy.  Media analyst Mark Dice has the story.
