Uh, Oh. CNN's Don Lemon's Name Just Came Up at the Jussie Smollett Trial

 PJ Media

But it’s what other things Lemon texted that may be of interest in the corner office at CNN.

Now that CNN has established a bright-line test for getting rid of its anchors — no, not for lying on the air, but using the network’s resources to help friends and family — Don Lemon might be wondering if he might be “Chris Cuomo’d.”

The CNN anchor’s name has come up in the Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax trial and he might have some ‘splainin’ to do.

No one less than Jussie Smollett himself testified on Monday that he texted with the CNN anchor and the message was pivotal to his defense. Indeed, right after the “attack” on Smollett, Lemon admitted to texting the actor every day because “there’s not a lot of us out there. Sometimes he responds, sometimes he doesn’t.”, , ,

If CNN is to be impartial they need to suspend Lemon until further review, but they wont because the blow back would be huge to suspend a black gay guy. A cis white male is so much easier to discipline.. . .

This, Sadly, Is CNN  Things are so bad that Chris Cuomo’s downfall isn’t even all that surprising.  . . .

"CNN is an embarrassment. It might be the single most dishonest media entity on the planet. Even the Korean Central News Agency, the mouthpiece of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, doesn’t pretend to be objective as it blasts out propaganda to the world. But CNN does.

"None of that is news, of course. It’s been two decades since CNN gave up on attempting to be objective. They just lie and say they are these days. But what makes CNN’s corruption noteworthy is that it has branched out beyond the airwaves.". . .

Why would they care? Why would these actions be disqualifying? CNN isn’t a news organization; it’s an advocacy and propaganda shop. It exists to push narratives favored by its corporate overlords or the petty middle managers who run its newsroom. Or the pet causes of its on-air talent.

Talent? 

Don Lemon to be the next one out at CNN?

It's an outrageous break with newsroom ethics around the issue of conflicts of interest. Here Lemon was using his privileged position in the news to help a hate-crime suspect beat charges by giving him an advantage. His thumb on the scale of justice here amounted to a whopping conflict of interest.

Chris Cuomo prepping to sue CNN for more than $18M over contract: sources

His contract was reportedly worth $6 million annually, leaving between $18 million and $20 million that he would be owed, sources said, adding that Chris Cuomo would also likely seek damages. But CNN has “no intention of paying [Chris] Cuomo a penny,” an insider said.

DISGUSTING: The Media Is LYING To You!

Epstein, Victim Virginia Roberts Guiffre, Does Ghizlane Maxwell In: ‘She Was Pulling The Stings’ She’s A ‘Monster’

Unite America First  . . .“ 'Ghislaine was much more conniving and smart than Epstein ever was,” Giuffre said.

“ 'I know that woman. I’ve known her really well. Put it this way — Epstein was Pinocchio, and she was Gepetto.”

"Giuffre had still more choice words for Maxwell.

“ 'She is a monster. She’s worse than Epstein. She did things even worse than Epstein did. She was vicious. She was evil. And she’s a woman.”

"As things now stand, Maxwell has been accused of procuring young women for, and participating in sex crimes against them with, Epstein.

"If Roberts-Guiffre is right then it’s highly likely that Maxwell really does hold incredibly compromising evidence against a number of high-profile and powerful icons of business and politics to use as leverage as her lawyers bargain for her freedom." . . .

. . ."Holding compromise over so many international power players made Epstein and Maxwell powerbrokers in their own right…

"Who thinks that way?  Well, for starters, Clinton followers who swallowed the PeeGate narrative hook, line, and sinker.

"What type of deals would Epstein and Maxwell have been capable of driving, and what would be the worth to American politicians and/or foreign governments?" . . . Full article here

Ransome later served as a witness in a defamation case filed by Virginia Giuffre, another victim of Epstein's sex trafficking ring, against Maxwell. Over the years, she has met with other survivors who were taken to Epstein’s island and experienced similar trauma. In the future, she hopes to continue working with other victims of sexual abuse, and she wrote Silenced No More to let other survivors know they aren’t alone.  Silenced No More: Surviving My Journey to Hell and Back

A World War II Veteran Remembers December 7, 1941

Rare Footage of USS Utah and USS Arizona after the Attack on Pearl Harbor

 The Importance of Remembering  The World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument serves as one of the most complete collections of Pearl Harbor information and artifacts and is a major draw for tourism. For every visitor who walks through the exhibits, stands over the sunken wreckage of the USS Arizona, and hears of the trials and tribulations of that Sunday morning, the story of Pearl Harbor is bound to be passed down and survive the test of time. Hopefully, at some point that knowledge will prevent a similar event from occurring.

You Heard it Here First: The Old CNN Is Dead

 This is fine, but what about MSNBC's Joy Reid, Ali Velshi, Nicolle Wallace and all others there?

Ed Sherdlu

. . ."The cause of death is not the forced departure of Chris Cuomo or Rachel Maddow’s act becoming so old she is moving to a weekly show. Nor is it that CNN’s jaundiced journalists conspired to be completely wrong about Kyle Rittenhouse, the false Russia collusion claim, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Jessie Smollett, Border Patrol whippings, and countless other “important” news stories. The reason is good old-fashioned free-market economics combined with Americans’ limited tolerance of CNN’s ultra-liberal BS (Bovine Secretions).

"Two decades ago, CNN was the news juggernaut. But since then, its viewership dropped faster than Joe Biden’s approval ratings. Media mogul John Malone just bought the sinking news ship in a fire sale and he will waste no time in cutting out the cancerous cause for CNN’s liberal-laced decline.

"To understand why Malone must drastically reshape CNN, you must understand who really decides what you watch on a news program. When watching CNN, MSNBC, or the three major entertainment networks, it is easy to blame the news anchor for the seriously slanted left-leaning coverage.

"Today’s talking heads, though, are not the main cause of the problem. They just blindly read whatever the show producers dump into their teleprompters. " . . .

Ed Sherdlu is the pen name of a former CBS television network reporter.  He uses a pen name because his mother would be so embarrassed to know that Ed's 12-Step Journalism Recovery Program had been a failure.

Cuomo vs CNN: let the games begin

 Fired CNN Host Chris Cuomo Proceeds to Spill the Tea as War of Words Escalates  . . ."But regardless of whether or not Cuomo is telling the truth about what Zucker knew, one thing that is satisfying beyond Cuomo getting his just deserts is the fact that they are both burning themselves and each other to the ground as we speak. A rather fitting position to be in for the disgraced former anchor and the network that most definitely is not a real news organization, despite their claims to the contrary."

Lawyer: Chris Cuomo accuser was disgusted by 'hypocrisy'   "A woman who lodged a sexual harassment allegation against former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was “disgusted” by what she saw as his hypocrisy and attempts to discredit women who made similar allegations against his brother, her lawyer said Sunday." . . .

Now what about Don Lemon?

The Media Inverts Reality in the Kenosha and Waukesha Cases

 Isaiah 5:20...Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who [a]substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;

Who [b]substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

 MAGA News  "I hereby nominate America’s left-wing regime media for the 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics.

"These far-left activists, masquerading as objective journalists, successfully inverted reality by 180 degrees. They turned a non-racist white teenager into a white supremacist and rendered a black bigot completely invisible.

"The original details that Americans heard about Kyle Rittenhouse were screamed loudly and swiftly, soon after he shot three men who chased and attacked him in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020. Rittenhouse killed two and injured one. This case’s “facts” bounced around and echoed each other, like subatomic particles in a media-powered linear accelerator.

•MSNBC’s John Heilemann described Rittenhouse as follows: “A white, MAGA-loving Blue Lives Matter social-media partisan, 17 years old, picks up a gun, drives from one state to another with the intent to shoot people.”

•MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called Rittenhouse an “active shooter” and “a 17-year-old kid just running around shooting and killing protesters … who drove across state lines with an AR-15 and started shooting people up.” During Rittenhouse’s trial, the Morning Joe co-host called Rittenhouse a “self-appointed militia member … unloading 60 rounds.”

• The Independent reported that Rittenhouse shot “three Black men.” . . .

Before Rittenhouse There Were Roof Koreans: How Civilians Defended Koreatown from Racist Violence During the 1992 LA Riots

Ammo.com

. . ."The Roof Koreans were spontaneous self-defense forces organized by the Korean community of Los Angeles, primarily centered in Koreatown, in response to violent and frequently racist attacks on their communities and businesses by primarily black looters and rioters during the Los Angeles Riots of 1992. Despite their best efforts, over 2,200 Korean-owned businesses were looted or burned to the ground during the riots. It is chilling to imagine how many would have suffered the same fate had the Koreans not been armed.

"Standing on the rooftops of Koreatown shops they and their families owned, clad not in body armor or tactical gear, but instead dressed like someone’s nerdy dad, often smoking cigarettes, but always on alert, the Roof Koreans provide a stirring example of how free Americans of all races can defend their own communities without relying upon outside help.

The Koreans of Los Angeles were the ultimate marginalized minority group. They were subject to discrimination and often victimized by the black community of the city. Due to language barriers and other factors, they lacked the political clout of other minority groups, such as the large Mexican community of Los Angeles County. This in spite of their clear economic success in the city beginning in the 1970s and 80s." . . .

Would today's press have treated the Koreans as they did Rittenhouse?  Joy Reid of MSNBC would be apoplectic, I'd say.

The Most Disgusting, Obsessive Take on Bob Dole's Death Goes Forth

 RedState  . . ."Now, for those of us who are sane, we have no desire to inject modern political disagreements into the death of a war hero and incredible public servant. Clearly, Bob Dole is not a man at all defined by anything that’s happened in Washington over the last half-decade.

"But then there’s Mehdi Hasan, who is neither sane nor has the self-control to hide that fact. The far-left MSNBC host and former Qatari mouthpiece just couldn’t help himself. Today, he put out the following tweet, which, as of now at least, is the most disgusting take on Dole’s passing I’ve seen." . . .

Bob Dole, who endorsed and voted for Trump twice, and called himself a 'Trumper' as recently as July, has passed away. https://t.co/ez5ZsMmXTx

— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) December 5, 2021

 Trump supporters & rightwingers seem to think it is somehow a disrespectful attack by me on the late Bob Dole to point out he was a Trump supporter. That’s kind of a revealing self own.

Btw here’s their hero Trump after another Republican war veteran died:

Joe DiGenova predicts big shakeup at CNN as 'robber baron' major shareholder of new owner won't hesitate to build 'good journalism'

Will CNN then be worthy of anyone's trust?

Thomas Lifson  . . ."I don't have any inside knowledge of Malone, nothing like what a player like Joe DiGenova might have.  But I do see an opportunity for CNN to add hugely to its shareholder value  by aggressively seeking the center, rather than being just another Democrat propaganda outlet — one less popular than MSNBC.  If the new entity formed to run the former Warner and Discovery media properties heeds Malone's strategy — as DiGenova believes they will — it could signal sea change in American media.  The so-called "mainstream" media have functioned to completely block conservative opinions, relegating them to a ghetto that can be dismissed by the majority of Americans who do not read conservative websites  or watch Fox News, much less Newsmax or OANN.  If CNN, which is a constituent part of the MSM, starts presenting both sides, it would legitimize stories like the Hunter Biden laptop that the media otherwise is able to suppress.  It could, in other words, tear down the wall surrounding the conservative ghetto.  In essence, a giant red pill would be dissolved in the water supply of the MSM-heeding public.". . .

But for now...Jake Tapper, who works for CNN, which buried the truth about the Cuomos for a long time, is out campaigning for Democrats and against Republicans, no matter what the facts are.

. . ."CNN was a major contributor in spreading the Russian collusion lies.  There was no Woodward or Bernstein reporting and investigating these lies.  The media were too busy participating as they campaigned for the thoroughly corrupt Hillary." .  .  .

If true, say goodbye to the fun with CNN. Like this:  CNN Reports On 'Deadly Boat Accident' At Pearl Harbor

. . ." 'We do not need to investigate this any further, or talk about it ever again, as it was an accident," said the local Police Chief in a press conference. "Any talk of motive is unhelpful at this time. I think what's really important is allowing our Pearl Harbor community to heal.' " . . . 

Oh...and then this from Russia Today:  CNN insists ‘a car’ killed six people at Wisconsin Christmas parade;  

Amid outrage from conservatives, the Washington Post last week deleted a tweet calling the incident a “tragedy caused by a SUV,” but CNN is standing its ground. In a tweet on a memorial event in Waukesha on Sunday, the liberal network said the city was “marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade.”

Now, about Donald Trump holding his coffee cup with two hands..
