Ex-CNN producer calls for network to ‘step in’ and stop Don Lemon’s ‘dangerous’ rhetoric

 


Ex-CNN producer calls for network to ‘step in’ and stop Don Lemon’s ‘dangerous’ rhetoric   " 'I know I say it all the time, but I'll say it again -- with people like Don Lemon in such a prominent position, if you're on the right, CNN truly hates you. They hate what you think, how you vote, and how you live your lives," Houck wrote to accompany images of chyrons that said, "Too many on the right don’t have the courage to stand up for our lives, but they’ll take away for vote," "As pandemic restrictions are being lifted, the mass shootings are starting again and America is mourning again" and "Why are we willing to tolerate an obscene loss of life?"

"Someone at CNN needs to step in. This hyperbole isn't just offensive, it's actually dangerous," tweeted Steve Krakauer.  . . . "Krakauer was responding to a collection of incendiary chyron messages that accompanied Lemon's screed advocating for draconian gun control measures.

" 'Every single one of us is just playing the odds at this point," Lemon said during his comments. "The odds that in a country of 325 million souls, that we won't be the ones that will get hit by the next bullets that start flying. We won't be the one that gets that phone call about someone you love who did, that phone call that changes your life.' " . . .

Don Lemon Being Don Lemon: GOP 'Wants to Take Away Your Vote,' Doesn't Have the Courage to Stand up for Our Lives'  . . . "Where does one begin with that guy and his incendiary crap? Moreover, what does Lemon’s irresponsible, factless unchecked ranting, night after night, say about CNN?  "Really, CNN? “The Most Trusted Name in News”? Sounds legit." . . .
