CNN's Don Lemon Named To 'Worst Journalism Of 2014' List by Wochit

Don Lemon has picked up a dubious honor: ranking in a Columbia Journalism Review fellow's list of the "worst journalism" of 2014. The anchor has made headlines throughout the year for controversial moments during his tenure as a CNN newsroom anchor. In a post written by David Uberti, the CJR fellow makes a case for why Lemon deserves to be ranked along with other missteps in journalism over the past year.

Uberti wrote, "As one of the most recognizable anchors on CNN, Don Lemon has helped lead the cable network’s coverage of the biggest stories of the year. Live television is exceedingly difficult to produce, of course, but Lemon’s gaffes this year offer a case study in how to choose words wisely — or not."

Columbia has an agenda. Lemon just jumped up a couple of notches.

I don’t watch CNN much, but Lemon probably is the best of the bunch of horrid personalities.

Don has very limited potential in the normal world of journalism. He’s not the guy you will send to a Katrina episode, or explain a complicated murder case in sixty-six words, or be able to interview anyone of noted fame. Basically....he’s the channel-nine 6PM guy working at CNN-level. I’m taking a guess here....but he’s probably still being paid at the channel-nine 6PM level as well, but happy to just have a job and enjoy an occasional hotel room as part of the deal.

Right. For all that, they have Anderson Cooper: ten times worse than this guy Lemon.

Anderson Cooper probably does a decent Katrina-act or Haiti-act. He’s better than a channel-nine guy. If I had to pick the guy I’d want for the first alien interview once they arrived on Earth....I’d pick Anderson.

I’ve heard the name “Lemon” mentioned only on Rush. I’ve never seen the guy or watched his “programming”. The worst of the worst propagandists, eh? Lemon. Appropriate.

“I should have quit you, long time ago”…

When he wondered out loud if a “black hole” sucked up the missing airliner I wondered if he is related to Hank “Guam is about to tip over” Johnson.
