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."

“equated President Obama’s support of same-sex marriage to supporting child molestation... that in itself is an outrageous statement”

“Outrageous” according to who? The sodomites, or the molesters?

This nails it. It’s also one of my favorite youtube channels. Lemon makes a fool of himself and exposes his agenda for all to see.

Exactly right. It’s as if Don Lemon is claiming the moral high ground. A homosexual with morals, is by definition, an oxymoron. Sodomites don’t have morals.

Thanks for the link.

I have never heard this word before and I don’t quite understand the meaning. Some company that makes graphics?

Never seen this word before in my life.

The FNC chyron is always Rat talking points. So when the sound is off the leftists who have infiltrated FNC have turned it into CNN.

FBI thugs needs to target this pastor. He's thinking unacceptable thoughts. The FBI needs to put Reverend Bill Owens to death as an example to others they must 'think correct thoughts' at all times.

I did not know what they were either. It is the banner text across the bottom of the screen.

“It used to be called a “crawl.””

I think it was also called the “zipper”.

My wife was in the news business for 20 years. That’s what she use to call it. I believe the chyron in Times Square is called the Zipper.
