February 22nd, 2010 12:31 AM
UPDATE AT END OF POST: Young conservative in question responds to Lemon. Just how out of touch must you be as a so-called journalist to think someone attending a conservative conference is liberal all because he or she is young?Such a question should be asked of Don Lemon who on Saturday interviewed a couple of under-aged conservatives at CPAC and actually called one of them progressive.Although…

CNN’s Jim Spellman did his best to paint the participants of the Tea Party Express’s rallies across the nation in late August and early September as a bunch of extremists on Saturday’s Newsroom.

CNN Uses Pro-Communist American to Tout Cuban Health Care
August 8th, 2009 12:57 PM
There’s something deeply wrong with journalism that scrutinizes and criticizes the institutions of free and successful nations, but produces puff pieces on the supposed achievements of totalitarian dictatorships.

CNN's Lemon Does Amazing Interview With Cambridge Police
July 27th, 2009 10:23 PM
It's not often I'm positively surprised by anything aired on CNN, but the interview Don Lemon did with members of the Cambridge Police Department Saturday is nothing less than breathtaking. While most media members have shamefully taken the side of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates in the matter of his arrest by Sgt.
