Don Lemon

There’s a saying that you have to acknowledge a problem before you can fix it. But some journalists, like CNN’s Don Lemon, refuse to admit the left-wing media has destroyed their own credibility all on their own. Appearing on New Day Friday morning, Lemon reported on a Louisiana hospital overrun with COVID patients and blamed conservative media for vaccine hesitancy.

Forget New York's Andrew Cuomo with his nursing home and sexual harassment scandals. According to CNN's Don Lemon and Matthew Dowd, Texas' Greg Abbott "is in a race to be the worst possible governor" with Florida's Ron DeSantis. Dowd said "Greg Abbott is the Dr. Evil of Texas government. Everything he does is cruel and craven." 

On Tuesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) released a damning investigative report into New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo’s criminal sexual misconduct. As part of that report, the AG disclosed how CNN’s host Chris Cuomo was part of Andrew’s damage control sessions, advising his brother, writing his official statements, and telling him to blame “cancel culture” for the…

CNN commentator Ana Navarro couldn’t even get Don Lemon to agree with her, as she appeared on his show Monday night to defend Tucker Carlson being harassed while vacationing with his family. Navarro became increasingly agitated as the liberal CNN host argued that even Carlson deserved to not be “intimidated” while out in public.

In the newest NewsBusters Podcast, we discuss CNN's softball townhall with President Biden, and how moderator Don Lemon let the president make wild claims without any attempt to fact-check him. NB managing editor Curtis Houck breaks down the partisan tilt of this embarrassing show. 

Apparently, Americans don’t want to watch 80 minutes of CNN’s Don Lemon sucking up to Joe Biden. The July 21 town hall special bombed the ratings, losing not only to Fox News (which would be expected), but even MSNBC.

CNN became apoplectic whenever Donald Trump called them “fake news,” but on July 21, they offered President Biden a nationally televised boost that can accurately be described as a “fake town hall.” The audience was "invitation only," the questions were pre-screened. Nothing interesting would happen. 

On Wednesday night, President Biden was granted the second town hall of his presidency (and third in the last year) by his adoring fanboys and girls at CNN and, not surprisingly, the Jeffrey Zucker-led network made sure that the 80-minute event was little more than a foot-massage (or smelling of the hair since that suits his fancy).

On Don Lemon’s Monday night show, he brought on “Democrat socialist” congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to defend teaching critical race theory to infants and bash Republicans for wanting to “ban our own history.”

Last summer, we saw a spike in violent crime, amidst left-wing riots and calls from Democrats to defund the police. At the time, CNN duo Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon literally laughed at these concerns, dismissing the skyrocketing crime as an exaggerated right wing narrative. Well, one year later, they are finally admitting that the rise of violent crime around the country may have been due to…

As Cubans bravely defy the tyrannical government in Cuba, it is important to remember that many lefty journalists spent decades enabling the communist regime, ignoring human rights abuses in favor of celebrating communist Cuba’s “free” health care and high literacy rates. They offered bouquets to the “charismatic” “revolutionary hero” Fidel Castro.

The media know Democrat-backed critical race theory is unpopular, so they’re trying to define the concept out of existence and make any voter who’s worried about it seem like a misguided conspiracy theorist. They dishonestly insist that critical race theory is a very advanced concept only taught in graduate-level classes, and that it is utterly absent from any K-12 school curriculum.

On Wednesday night, left-wing CNN host Don Lemon “interviewed” the chairwoman of Virginia's Loudoun County School Board, Brenda Sheridan, about a school board meeting that occurred Tuesday night before it was quickly shut down to public comment as parents and citizens rejected the teaching of radical critical race theory. 

 

CNN’s Don Lemon wore his thoughts on his sleeve in Sunday’s Washington Post Magazine feature on him (published online last Tuesday). In more than one instance he vented to reporter Eric Easter about just how racist America and white people were, while at the same time unironically lamenting about how we didn’t show enough grace to other people. At one point he even suggested that…
