Title:
CNN CHANGES CHYRON FROM 'FAITH LEADERS' TO 'CONTROVERSIAL PASTOR' AFTER REVEREND WON'T CRITICIZE TRUMP
CNN was criticized this week for changing a Chyron from stating "faith leaders" to controversial pastor" when the interviewee would not criticize President Donald Trump.
In the segment Monday, host Don Lemon asked Reverend Bill Owens, founder and president of the coalition of African American Pastors, to comment on the closed door meeting he and 19 other black faith leaders had with Trump, after the president criticized Congressman Elijah Cummings.
The Chyron read: "CNN Alert: President Hosts African American Pastors And Faith Leaders At The White House."

"So pastor, you've said some controversial things before. In 2012, you equated President Obama's support of same-sex marriage to supporting child molestation. You later walked that back, but that in itself is an outrageous statement," Lemon said. "Why should anyone take you seriously?"
"I've never said that. I've never said that. I've never said," Owens said, bothered.
At that moment, the Chyron switched to "CNN Alert: "Controversial African American Pastor Meets With President."

They unilaterally declare someone/something controversial, then cite that as though it has spontaneously arisen from the populace.
Bump for reference..
I am glad to see a John Ward video posted here. He is fantastic and absolutely hilarious!
Ward is one of my absolute favorites. At first I wanted him to shut up and let the video continue. Then I realized that his amazing dialogue is what makes them so great.
He sure is good at nailing Don Lemon(e).
Yes! Actually it was his skewering of Don Lemon (Worst Journalist of the Year) that got Ward on my radar.
Another favorite of mine is RazörFist. His rants are just fantastic.

It’s “the crawl” ticker-tapey kind of thing scrolling at the bottom. My cats like to watch it and try to catch it.
