CNN anchor Don Lemon said Friday that it's his "obligation as a journalist" to call President Trump a racist.
“Critical thinking is important as a journalist. If you cannot surmise that this president — if he’s not racist, he’s certainly racist-adjacent," Lemon told an audience as the keynote speaker at Variety’s Entertainment & Technology NYC Summit. "We have come to a consensus in our society that facts matter. I feel like it’s my obligation to say that.”
“If you have the evidence that shows you, that leads you to nothing else but this president being racist, then I feel it’s my obligation as a journalist to say it," he added.
Lemon called the president racist on the Jan. 11 edition of "CNN Tonight,” the same day the first reports emerged that Trump had referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” during an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers....

You’re not a journalist, Lemonhead!
Invective is not journalism, Mr. Lemon. Quite the contrary.
To D. Lemon:
It’s my obligation as a sane person to point out you’re both an idiot and a nut case...
Keep goin’ Don!
We love watching the implosion of what you call “ journalism”
Keepin’ a good journal of Trumps lifetime of racism?
You know that word we’re not supposed to say about black people?
Yeah, that one.
Mr. Lemon exemplifies why this word is still a valid, concise, and accurate description of people like himself.
Don has viewers?
Another Leftist who doesn’t understand the difference between a journalist and a commentator.
He may be right that Malaysian Flight 370 was swallowed by a black hole.
Well, then where is it?
Don Lemon: ‘It’s my obligation as a Soros stooge to call Trump a racist.’
No, your job is to tell the truth.
If you are going to call him a name, then prove your accusation.
True, Don. Maybe that's why you should take the time to actually learn that skill.
Well, it’s just as much of his (and that of other elite media people) obligations to make similar pronouncements on gun control or political economic theory or other things involving them being just their limousine socialist selves.
I think that there’s room in there for liar too!
This is taught in every School of Journalism in America today. Facts and truth and the 7 W's are irrelevant. It's all about "making a change" and "influencing opinion".
Most journalists are renowned liars and sex predators.

Keep talking dunce. Comments like this have a way of coming back.
Nonsense. A journalist’s job is to report facts. Report the facts of what Donald Trump says and does. It is up to the viewer to decide whether he believes the words or actions are “racist.” It is not the journalist’s job to tell them.
CNN is where the CIA goes when it wants to leak something, or put a narrative into society.
