2 days old, but didn't see it.

quote:

On Tuesday, everyone is talking about racism, violence, justice — and what a ding-a-ling CNN's Don Lemon is.

As Ferguson erupted into anger, bullets and flames Monday night, Lemon ham-handedly drew tear gas into his own gas mask, whined for water and a device to contact his producers, and then made a culturally insensitive comment about protesters smoking pot. Tuesday Lemon was further blasted by critics online for imitating the “St. Louis accent” and for retreating to a “safe room” while other CNN reporters stayed out on the scene.

quote:

But it was his useless observation that he smelled drugs in the air that polarized critics. "Maybe a minute, two minutes ago we heard a gunshot and watched people scattering," Lemon said. "And we're watching people on the roofs of cars, on the tops of cars and, er,… Obviously there's a smell of marijuana here as well."

quote:

The latest dose of sour Lemon-aide came just after the anchor was raked over the coals for insinuating that one of Bill Cosby's alleged sexual assault victims should have bitten the comic instead of performing oral sex.

quote:

Another recent Lemon gem included suggesting that the missing Malaysian airliner, flight 370, might have disappeared into a black hole.

Can't allow dead air.

Reporting on the same shite for months can't be easy.

he also said his definition of an automatic weapon was one that could be fired in quick succession, regardless of the amount of trigger pulls.

So you're telling me it's wrong to change the definition of a word in order to fit my particular narrative? Silly...

He wouldn't be the first under-qualified person to get a job

You're probably the guy that blames affirmative action whenever you fail at something.

I don't understand why he's being criticized for the marijuana comment?

Nothing excuses filling that dead air with the dumbest shite imaginable. A black hole? You blame boredom and lack of new information for that?

Nah dude, not affirmative action, but the story is primarily about blackness. You don't get a white Mfer to lead coverage. That would be pretty bad.

No one is making fun of Lemon because he's black. It's just a thread about him being a dumbass. Even Russell Simmons thinks he's a dumbass.

Talking about poor journalism, has anyone done an in-depth story of the life of Michael Brown Jr? Something that gives us a better understanding of who he was? What influences he had in his life?
