Accuracy in Media "Don Lemon has begun a campaign to convince viewers CNN does not hate Trump, love the Democrats or engage in biased reporting.
"Earlier this month, speaking at the Financial Time Future of News event, Lemon said flatly the network is “not liberal,” which set off a storm of reaction from conservatives in the media.
"Then, on Tuesday, in a segment to promote Jim Acosta’s new book, “Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time To Tell The Truth in America,” Lemon doubled down.
“ 'For all those people who say oh, the the the press … CNN hates Trump and CNN is, you know, loves the Democrats,” Lemon began .
“ 'I watched Manu Raju with Nancy Pelosi who clearly did not want to answer Manu’s questions today, even in her body language. And you know what? He persisted, and he asked her the tough questions anyway. So anyone, a Democrat, a Republican, regardless of who it is, if you hold a position of power, we the journalists at CNN are going to question you about it whether you like it or not.”
"Acosta responded : “That’s right. We’re here to hold their feet to the fire. And just because we’re pro-truth doesn’t mean that we’re anti-Trump and, as I write throughout this book and I try to close it out on a hopeful note, we are not the enemy of the people. We are defenders of the people, and we want to defend the people because we’re devoted to the people.
“ 'You and I Don, our families, our parents, our kids, our loved ones … we all think about all those folks when we come into the office and do this job on a daily basis. We’re not here to spin things or color things a certain way. We’re here to get the people reliable, accurate information on a daily basis. That’s why we all come in to work every day. We get a high out of it. And I just want to make sure we can keep this going as a country.”
"Others got a high out of assembling – or re-assembling – lists of instances of bias by Lemon and others on CNN." . . . Like this Lemon soon-to-be classic
CNN Debate Moderator Don Lemon to Candidates: Hey, What About Trump's Bigotry?! . . . This truly is shocking. Everybody already knew that Lemon is a fake journalist, but with this question, he truly takes his liberal hackery to a whole new level. He isn't even asking the Democratic candidates whether Trump is a bigot in their eyes. Oh no, his bigotry is apparently a fact. And so the question is: how do you convince voters that his bigotry is a bigger issue than the economy?
"I've seldom seen such an obvious case of framing. This is extreme, even for the liberal mainstream media.
"Of course, the Democratic candidates were happy to play along. This is exactly what they want voters to believe about President Trump: that he is a disgusting bigot. A racist. A hater of all minorities, be they Hispanics, gays, or African Americans.
"How pathetic is it that CNN still presents Lemon as some kind of journalist? He isn't. He's a partisan hack. That's fine -- he's allowed to be a liberal propagandist -- but CNN and he should be honest about it. Instead, they lie and deceive the public by pretending that he is a neutral and objective journalist who just reports the facts.
"Thank God that increasingly more people are switching off CNN."
