omfg who is that total asshole anchor on CNN???

[cali]

I am so angry I'm shaking. Not even a shred of impartiality. total right wing shit. Sorry, this is just a vent, but fuck.....

[Downtown Hound]

1. Context? What was said?

[FSogol]

2. Don Lemon - RW Hack

[gatorboy]

3. Must be bad.

There's already been several posts about this. The "liberal media" obviously got their talking points from the corporate overlords today. Huffington Post hasn't posted a single article on their front page about the protest.

[cali]

5. bad bad bad real bad

it's left me stunned and inarticulate. sputtering

[Poboy]

17. Huffington Post didn't post anything on this? Well, I think that is very interesting

They've been assimilated, Huffington sold out.

[gatorboy]

23. Just checked and they finally have a little blurb up.

Took them long enough though.

[calimary]

4. And I'll bet don lemon is a union member.

Wait til they come after his collective bargaining rights.

[SoCalDem]

8. and his pension & health care benefits n/t

[Liquorice]

6. I couldn't believe how he acted. I've never liked Lemon, but that was bad even for him. nt

7. Is it really asking too much...

that you include some details while posting on this? These kinds of messages..."OMFG! Did you SEE that? I'm FURIOUS!" "YEAH" "WHat an ASSHOLE..." etc. etc. are just frustrating to those of us who have no way of knowing wtf you're talking about.

[JuniperLea]

9. Is it really asking to much that you read further in the thread...

Before you lay waste to the OP?

Or was this just intended as a useless rant?

[Pamela Troy]

14. I did read further in the thread. Nothing there

was especially illuminating. Yeah, it's about what's happening in Wisconsin. What, specifically did the asshole say? Hell, I'd be content with a paraphrase.

[movonne]

10. Thank you ...do they think everyone is watching cnn..

[cali]

13. sorry. quite right. it's something I've complained about in the past

never done it before. There is an anchor whose name evidently is Don Lemon who was interviewing the spokesperson for the Wisconsin Dem party about the Wisconsin Dem Senators. He used very right wing language and literally harassed the guy he was interviewing. The interview was less that than a berating and sneering condemnation of the Senate Dems along with a generous helping of rude toward the man he was interviewing.

again, my apologies. I was so angry, I was temporarily struck 'sputtering'. I should have waited to post.

[Pamela Troy]

16. Thanks. Sounds like CNN is doing the usual

for CNN. Don Lemon eh?

A friend has CNN on on her portable. The female anchor is apparently being just as awful.

[seabeyond]

19. lol, i was thinkin as some posters, and reading down thread patiently for info.... lol

and figured you just so mad, sputtering, didnt get to explaining yet.

thanks.

[2banon]

25. thank you.. sounds like Venezuela CNN anti-union, anti-working class

yep.. that's who they are... very very anti-worker, anti-democracy, (naturally anti-union).. pro-big corporation, multi-nationalists, and pro police-state authoritianism, pro-plutocracy.. (sorry for redunancy) that's CNN...

unless you're monitoring as a media activists, i'd stay far, far away from these state propagandists mouthpieces, for the sake of your mental well being.. :shrug:

[cali]

27. I rarely turn on CNN or any or the others

but I was curious as to how they were dealing with the story.

Welcome to DU.

[2banon]

28. that makes sense..

I do that too, monitoring how the ministry of propaganda spins a very important story on events that actually benefit the working class... and especially anything resembling "power to the people"...

thanks for the welcome :hi:

[damntexdem]

11. I wouldn't know because I don't watch Can't Notice News anymore.

But I'm sure he wouldn't have been hired as an anchor were he not a complete asshole.

[Thunderstruck]

12. Yep, and the one on now is prosecuting the Democrats in WI instead of

the governor's and the rethugs' actions against the citizens of that state.

CNN can take a flying leap up a warthog's ass!

[kenny blankenship]

15. I pulled up the CNN livestream for a second, catching him in mid-harangue

I could tell from just a sentence fragment and his tone of voice the axe he was grinding: Those lazy, no-good, tax-thievin' Democrats, they're just like "the workers" - they're off gettin drunk and don't want to show up for work! Complete Fascist line. If I would have been able to watch it longer, I'd expect to hear him prescribe rubber bullets and teargas for the Democrats and workers both.

That's why I don't watch TV.

[cali]

18. exactly. it really was appalling.

[calimary]

20. So I want to email a complaint, or tweet, or Facebook -

couldn't find anything on CNN.com to leave comments. Don't they do it there anymore?

[OHdem10]

21. And they wonder why we do not trust them????

[Zax2me]

22. not unexpected

[quakerboy]

24. Its CNN. your going to have to be more specitic.

[Tx4obama]

26. OT - CNN has hired teaparty nut Dana Loesch. n/t

[upi402]

29. CNN Corporate News Network

I can't even look
