Criticizing CNN's way of broadcasting Gezi Park events, they left a black wreath, "Turkish public will never forget CNN's manipulation" written on it in front of the building.

Among the banners carried, there was one that referred to CNN International correspondent's going off the air by saying "CNN show is over" to Erdogan's advisor Ibrahim Kalin on June 12.

Following the reading of a statement that expressed the condemning of CNN, the group marched back to The Times Square with the slogan "Liar CNN".
