CNN plummeted to a one-star rating on Apple’s app store just days after the network published an article that appeared to threaten to publicly identify an anonymous Reddit user who made a video depicting President Trump body-slamming the CNN logo.

Out of 3,215 total ratings awarded to the CNN on the app store, 3,063 of them were one-star ratings. Angry users flooded the app with negative ratings on Wednesday and Thursday, with many of them outraged over CNN’s coverage of Reddit user HanAs.

“CNN is a tabloid masquerading as a legitimate news organization. Its ‘reports’ are littered with opinion, and it spends too much time trying to convince its readers/viewers what they should think instead of simply keeping them informed about what is happening in the world (and letting them make up their own minds),” one of the thousands of one-star reviews stated. “Thus far I have had no trouble accessing the biased filth I have come to expect from this once-proud organization. It’s a bit like having a waiter on-hand to feed me all the pig excrement I can eat: the service is nice, but the product is horrible.”

“If I could give negative stars, I would. What used to be a respectable, if not left leaning news source has become as far left as Breitbart is far right,” one recent reviewer wrote. “It’s become a satire of itself and of journalism as a profession. I’m glad the world can finally see CNN for the circus show it’s become.”

“I downloaded this app as a favor for a friend who was searching for a reliable news outlet. The style of the app was appealing and the ease of use was nice,” one reviewer started off, before describing being turned off by CNN’s bias: “There was a systematic disregard for objective viewpoints. The authors write using accusatory language that leads the uninformed reader to specific and planned out conclusions.” The reviewer, “Big E the attorney,” concluded: “Based on everything I can see it appears that the accusations of CNN being fake news are correct.” The app store states: “9 out of 9 customers found this review helpful.”

Many negative reviews focused on CNN’s coverage of the Reddit user.

“They had no right to do what they did over something as silly as a meme,” one reviewer wrote. “You have gone too far this time, to attack a mere meme farmer for a simple joke? Pathetic,” another stated.

Another reviewer noted the network’s “campaign to gag a person on Reddit through threats of DOXING for posting a meme,” adding: “They are a shadow of their former glory and are now activists not journalists. ”

Some reviewers gave CNN better ratings but seemingly still did so as a way to troll the network.

“Bruh I got a bone in my boneless pizza and CNN won’t even report it,” wrote one July 5 reviewer, who gave CNN a rather neutral three stars.

Another reviewer gave CNN five stars but pretended he was being blackmailed by the network to do so. “They are the best and I am making this review completely of my own free will. Please give them lots of money and more great reviews. Once again I am not under any blackmailing threat and am doing this on my own free will,” the reviewer wrote, concluding: “Please don’t hurt me CNN.”

The negative reviews were still flooding in on Thursday afternoon.

“They are against innocent civilians and promote doxing of anyone they don’t agree with,” one of the most recent reviewers stated. “On top of that they push false narratives just to make a buck. Crap.” Another wrote: “Let the meme war continue, fake shitheads.”

  The only reason they received one star is because you can’t vote for ZERO stars.

  It’s not nice to make leftist idiots mad, they turn on their own party in a dime. Look at the leftist IDIOTS in Germany protesting this morning, the ones who VOTED FOR ALL THIS CRAP.

  You know, the communist socialists who want EVERYTHING FREE,

  Same as the leftist hillary voters, they think their …. doesn’t stink and they vote for HAG hillary and enable and prop up the NWO.

- democrat CockRoach

  This is no different than the leftist hippies protesting the democrat party 50 years ago for their OWN CRAP,

  democrats are psychopaths and this is just further proof.

- Peter Nayland Kust

  Is there anyone on the Internet (besides FraudNewsCNN) that didn’t see this coming?

- demetri

  Just checked the google store, and its ratings are 4 stars. Trump probably paid a company to do this

  The screenshots are from iOS buddy. The screenshots above look nothing like the Google Play app reviews if you used your brain before saying something silly like Trump paid someone for a fake article. Current rating as 7/7/2017 1:06pm PST is one star. http://i.imgur.com/SbuTUgH.png

  still doesnt take away the fact that nothing was affected in the google store. Also if you read the people commenting and rating they are all from india. He hired a company to give them 1 star. not this article.

  I’m left wing, I have no shame about that, I want my government to be more like a family than a company. that said the democrats are no more a left wing party. Hillary proved that.
  I think the demS died when Bernie Sanders was ousted.

- Shannon Fox

  oh u poor pathetic loser. No it is us the users that rated this POS company and again Trump wins. Love how he is taking you all out. And we will re elect him to make sure ppl like u have no voice!

  “I want my government to be more like a family than a company.”

  Your democrat heroes (of the past?) are/were indistinguishable from their repub “rivals” in their lifestyle (multiple expensive homes, expensive vacation trips to Europe, hobnobbing with and marrying celebrities [Jerry Brown and Arnold S. being two examples who come to mind], etc. and etc.). You sucked in for their rhetoric about poor people.

  Look for what the demorats did for the poor in Illinois, Ohio, etc.

  (BTW Arnold was/is a RINO of the first order.)

  Check again. Trump is NOT a pure capitalist.

  I’ve never been under the illusion you seem to think I have, nor regarded leaders as heroes.
