Don is a BR native, isn't he?


He's one of CNN's best.

Cool. If you see him, tell him he's spot on with his analysis and coverage of this issue.

Don Lemon is actually a classy decent person and a good journalist.




Don Lemon, like most television journalists, has his own agenda and only calls out other liberals when there are points to be made by doing so. I watch a lot of hours of Lemon and he has no more integrity than any other cable news host.

We simply disagree on a subjective matter.

This is honestly the first time I've heard of him (and I'm impressed so far)...and CNN is on constantly in various places in my office building.

I have to root for him a little if he's from Baton Rouge. Sorry to hear is just another jerk.

I understand your point of view, and if I had not been listening to him on a regular basis for a few years now, I would react the same way. I'm just stating Lemon is hardcore left, and one needs to follow his words and not his demeanor. Like Obama, Lemon excels at being "charming", likable and reasonable in debating his guests. But his words are no different than many of the CNN and MSNBC hosts that so many on here despise. He simply knows how to smile while he's telling you're not as smart as he is. I have watched him take a condescending approach to conservatives many times, talking over them and ridiculing them, but always keeping his emotions in check.

An objective journalist he is not. A nice man he seems to be.

Lemon then set his sights on MSNBC as a network, saying former Mitt Romney adviser Stuart Stevens had a point when he called the network “a club where the smug go to exchange hateful opinions and reassure each other it’s acceptable.”
Perfectly sums up MSNBC.
