AT&T, Wells Fargo, Boeing, and Comcast have announced raises/bonuses after Trump's tax plan.

Considering everyone is so high strung about higher pay, raises and I'm sure bonuses can be an added benefit, right?---- why isn't CNN covering this on their front page? I can't find even a small side article on their home page about this. And I see plenty of things that probably aren't as news-worthy as this.

Check out CNN's front page right now. Not even a mention.

This is seriously, legitimate news. Several corporations have announced bonuses and raises. This is completely a liberal talking point---except it involves Trump. More companies will likely follow---and not even a mention on CNN's front page. Absolutely disgusting, corrupt--see what we want Americans to see--FAKE NEWS.

Not to the extent and context of the tax bill, which these companies mentioned and the tax bill is a very relevant news topic. It should at least be mentioned for CNN to try and turn it around and say what these companies are doing is bad. But they seem to know they can't do that too easily. So what do they do? Not even report it. It never happened.

Lol you think these are the biggest bonuses and raises of all time? Lmao they're not. And again, they're just bonuses and raises, things that happen in multiple companies every year. They're never news. Idk why you think they would be.

When multiple large companies are announcing raises and bonuses specifically due to the newly passed tax plan---that is news.

If it's so nonchalant to you and liberal CNN, they should be having a hay day dissecting these companies and calling them liars like they do with everything else. Clearly they don't even want to do that or mention these companies even announced such a thing.

It's really not too hard to figure out. Go ahead and point to some "stories" on their front page that are more news worthy than this

No it isn't. Bonuses and raises are literally never news. Lol why would they be? Again, they happen all the time, every year.

I can't find any stories on their front page that are less newsworthy than companies giving out bonuses and raises. None of the stories on CNN's front page happen all the time, every year, so they are all objectively more newsworthy than this.

Strange how you never made this topic when companies gave out bonuses and raises when Obama was president. Really shows that on top of not knowing what news even is, you still manage to be a partisan hack.

Shame on you, its time to grow up. Lol kid's probably never got a bonus or raise in his life, that's why he thinks this is newsworthy.

Obama didn't accomplish anything. Trump however has done a tremendous amount of work in his first year and has essentially reversed all the negative things Obama started. This tax bill is just the latest in many victories.

Did multiple corporations announce they were giving bonuses and raises due to what Obama did? Or legislation Obama signed in office? I don't think so. Can you remember? Let me know.

That isn't to say that he didn't do things, it's just that the things he legislated on were negative to the country, allowed ISIS to thrive, and took race relations back about 40 years. So I wouldn't call any of it accomplishments.

He actually ordered our troops not to bomb them several times and would let them get away. Trump completely changed our military strategy and now ISIS is decimated.

Ok, so basically you have no argument.

People (many on the left) have been passionate about wage increase for years. They've also recently been saying "these bad corporations won't do anything for the people if Trump's plan passes" (CNN also perpetuated this myth).

So when a few (in one day, more to come I'm sure) come out and announce they're giving raises and bonuses they normally would not give all while citing Trump's tax cut--you say it's not news worthy. Or even worth a tiny blimp on CNN's front page for one of their opinion writers to attempt to poorly **** on.

Out of *ALL* the things on CNN's front page, conveniently, this news is left out. And you're actually trying to rationalize that. Sad.

You're leaving out the fact these raises/bonuses are attributed to Trump's successful tax plan. And not just general raises/bonuses.

Are you aware of what has happened? Are you composmentis?
