    The post is a lie. He didn't run off.

    This thread is a lie. Your response is mealy mouthed.

    Why do people love Trump? Like birds of a feather, liars flock together.

    I never watch CNN and so I didn't know who Don Lemon was until I saw the video. This was a non-story story. The guest was absolutely right. Libs are fiscally responsible. They really don't care about Lemon's topic for a story. It was just another opportunity to attack Trump from a different angle. Just another stupid way to pile on....I am glad the guest did not cave when he was given a second chance to "conform" to them...
    I read up on Lemon and obviously this isn't his first time at that rodeo. There is a petition from change.org to have him fired. But they will just hire another clown to replace him because these people just can't learn. It really IS a fake news channel. I am glad I don't tune in. Those women were hateful...

    Well, the CNN corporation certainly must ban all gays and blacks who are not rabid Democrats as this contradictions work directive memos from corporate HQ.

    - - - Updated - - -

    The broadcasts of the CNN corporation are 24/7 ranting against Trump as their corporate mission. If a person hates Trump watch CNN and they feed that hate. That is all CNN is about now.

    1st rule of alt-left television: when your viewership numbers tank, stage live-air stunts to generate publicity.

    CNN has become a 24/7 political opinion channel, good if you like debate, but not so good if you want objective news.

    Speak to my post only please. Calling me a liar doesn't progress the discussion.

    CNN is a joke. They've obviously decided that anyone to the right of center watches Fox so they're campaigning for the divided left audience since they had no audience. And Don Sucka Lemon knows he can't be fired or he'd file a discrimination suit the next day. He also happily admits to favor smoking pot, not a great shock in his case.

    No, I maintain that all news outlets are biased regardless. Either you're biased or your not biased.

    If people who are slamming Lemon actually watched the ENTIRE clip they were having a pretty civil discussion about it and it IS a pretty important discussion honestly. The right and TRUMP HIMSELF whined and whined about how much Obama was costing taxpayers. NOW when Trump does it its perfectly fine AND furthermore the money is going into his own holdings I mean CMON PEOPLE WAKE THE F UP. Trump is spending taxpayer money on the presidency at a rate that I dont believe has been seen EVER and within a year he might spend more money than Obama did for his entire presidency

    The first thing out of that guys mouth was how what they were talking about is fake news...I would of done the same thing except probably just cut the guy off entirely. I hope if a guest uses the term fake news they just mute them or cut them off, its just a bull(*)(*)(*)(*) talking point that Trump is trying to use to push an agenda.


    You know what is FAKE NEWS.....Trumps comments on "what happened in Sweden last night"...thats FAKE NEWS...or BOWLING GREEN MASSACRE...thats FAKE NEWS

    Well you were not making that point, you were arguing that Fox and CBN were propaganda. Which is more of a deflection since this thread isn't about either of those networks. So are you now arguing that they are all biased, including CNN?

    I couldn't watch it past the .10 mark. That guy is employed and probably highly paid to speak on TV. Presumably, the network would like it if he could actually speak clearly enough to be understood by his audience. Why hasn't it noticed yet that he can't? I could not understand one word in ten that he spoke. And there's no word "Entenshully" in the English language, yet he repeated it several times.

    Getting a job as a television reporter (or whatever he is), in the US must be ridiculously easy!

    Yep! I saw that also. Why can't the "Left" recognise it?

    Little wonder why their ratings are circling the bowl with the Tidy Bowl Man.

    I think my favorite part of this story is how much don lemon hates it when people accurately call out his fake news and his response is to shut down conversation. Was he at Berkeley recently? They would love that tactic!

    He's also dead wrong as usual about the definition of fake news.

    Fake news, or hoax news, refers to false information or propaganda published under the guise of being authentic news

    He's throwing in intent because that can't be proven and gives his pathetic lying ass cover.

    I wish I could do some good photohopping so you could put his face in a toilet bowl as the scrubbing bubbles do their work :D

    I watched the entire clip. I agree it is a 'bull(*)(*)(*)(*) talking point' but guests on any news show offer up a lot of 'bull(*)(*)(*)(*) talking points'. You can depend on it virtually anytime you pick as guests, people with a political agenda. My point is that the job of the host is to refuse to allow the derailing, and guide this back on topic, rather than contribute to the derailing. they were not invited there to here to listen to Lemon's opinion or definition of what is or is not 'fake news'. they were there to discuss a different prepared topic. the mere reference to 'fake news; was enough to set him off. Lemon was, to use a phrasem 'badgering the witness' and he did so because he is understandably upset with what we both agree is a smear on the vast majority of reporters and a the marking of a new low in Washington politics.

    he was pissed and he lost his focus. It needed to stay on the topic and what the four guests had to say, rather than this tangent. His job was to redirect.

    the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) paid shill Trump supporter claimed the story was "fake news".

    what was the story they were discussing? the extremely high cost of protecting the Trump family just during the 1st month of the administration.

    how is that "fake news"?

    was the story a lie? no.

    did the story use fake data? no.

    so calling it "fake news", is nothing but pathetic partisan propaganda.

    Because you can't criticize a black president, a black reporter or any other black person without being a racist? Because black politicians and media people are perfect and their only "flaw" is that they're black?

    Okay then.

    Did the newspaper story in your little go on to tell the whole story or did it go on to add a few falsehoods or leave out important and associate the "ban" to some political agenda or another.

    The fact that you do not like the news does not make it fake.
    The fact that the news says something you do not like about someone you do like does not make it fake.
    The fact that the news shows something that puts shame to your political leanings does not make it fake.

    The press didn't cover Clinton's emails?
    The press didn't cover the failures of the ACA website rollout?

    Facts may make TrumpCo uncomfortable. Facts may make you angry. But, facts are not fake except in "Alternative Fact Land."

    I thought the ones living in an alternate reality were the ones marching around chanting "not my president."
