Lemon reporting about fake news by following it up with more fake news. When will it end CNN?

And Lemon made that statement right after reading the Clapper release word for word! It's mind numbing

I saw a report that he is a transsexual. I'm not sure if the documents are in fact valid, and I'm not saying he's a transsexual...but he's a transsexual.

One can only hope that they never tire of hitting Trump's fist with their faces!

Back down from what? Reporting unsubstantiated rumors that all of their competitors declined to report because it is fake?

Rigging primary debates?

Who considers CNN "journalists" anymore?

Wonder if the director will come out with a clarification statement or just let it hang as it is.

Well, after their 8-year vacation they should at least be well-rested for the "challenge" of creating & maintaining their journalistic narrative.

THIS JUST IN, we are getting highly unsubstantiated reports from a Tiger Droppings poster named Dale51 about Don Lemon's sexuality and gender. Keep in mind, we cannot confirm these reports nor will we link Dale51's post in our article, so we are practicing highly professional journalism, but THERE MAY BE BLACKMAIL MATERIAL ON DON LEMON.

Such persecution complex.

They ran with and propagated a totally faked narrative regarding Trump, leaked by someone in the current administration to further embarrass and de-legitimize Trump and they got called out on it.

Just a total lack of self awareness.

The job of the press is to reoort the news fairly, accurately and with evidence. What we see today is a fricking tragedy.

Is this the biggest load of shite narrative that s coming from the press NOW?

Where was this level of press aggression and inquisition the last 8 years?

I know the progs on here won't give an honest answer because I'm correct but this is just unbelievable at this point. How does anyone take the press seriously at all?





In a way he's right, after the last 8 years it's clear their job is to shape the narrative for the democratic party and control the way in which news is fed to the public so as to cast the liberals in the best possible light while at the same time demonizing the conservatives at every opportunity. That's no longer the behind the scenes mission statement, it's in your face blatant.

Acosta is absolutely correct in this statement. What he doesn't say is "...and our job is to destroy Republicans and promote Democrats."
