#DownWithCNN: Online campaign to boycott CNN, here's why
Many people in America were angered at CNN for its latest campaign against current President Joe Biden especially following the latest presidential debate between Biden and former US President Donald Trump.
CNN was accused by Americans of being the new "Fox News," which is known to be a Republican channel that always supports Trump.
A social media user wrote: "#DownWithCNN I'm not watching @CNN or @MSNBC until they stop their attacks on Biden."
Another added: "Convicted felon Trump has a 40-year history of hanging out with known child rapists and sex traffickers, and can add P Diddy to the list. But the media refuses to report on this, determined to destroy Biden over age and a cough. "
