CNN primetime host Don Lemon is demanding the media cover Republicans differently than Democrats, suggesting they are a danger to society and cannot be “coddled.”
It’s a refreshing change for the liberal media to just flat out admit their bias.
Lemon’s comments came amidst an appearance on “New Day” Thursday morning as the discussion pivoted to covering conservatives in the media.
The CNN anchor said he believes giving equal time and coverage to both political parties is a ‘false equivalency.’
“We sit around and we talk about these things and we want to give this false equivalence to Democrats and Republicans. That is not where we are right now,” he claimed. “Republicans are doing something that is very dangerous to our society and we have to acknowledge that.”
Lemon added, “We have to acknowledge that as Americans, we must acknowledge that as journalists because if we don’t, we are not doing our jobs.”
“We want to give this false equivalence to … Republicans.”
He said that with a straight face.
CNN host Don Lemon proceeded to suggest the media should badger guests appearing on their respective shows regarding the Capitol riot and surrounding events, as well as the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“They have to answer for those questions if they come here on CNN, they must answer for that. If they go on MSNBC, they must answer for that. If they go on ABC, they must answer for that,” he threatened.
“And they cannot expect to be coddled when they go on to a news organization or if they step in front of a crowd of supporters or voters or Americans.”
They don’t already?
Not as much a danger as Don Lemon is to any 12 vear old boy.
And all Democrats are to be given a soft pillow and none of their insane notions are to be questioned.
When are the “big changes” at CNN supposed to take place? Why are this squealing girly-man and Brian Stelter still there?
The pussy deserves a punch in the face for even saying that garbage.
Why is Lemon always so sour?
Honey, I shrunk the Biden
Does generic Citrus fear mass arrests for treason?
What is really interesting is that this comes shortly after an author, Malcom W Nance, said that ‘Pubbies are becoming an insurgency.
Nance is the author of such ‘classics’ as “They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency” and “The Plot to Betray America: How Team Trump Embraced Our Enemies, Compromised Our Security, and How We Can Fix It.”

I think is important because 1. Lemon never had an original thought in his life and 2. This probably the beginning of new segment of The Narrative. Look for entertainment media to begin pursuing similar story lines.
“We sit around and we talk about these things and we want to give this false equivalence to Democrats and Republicans. That is not where we are right now,” he claimed. “Republicans are doing something that is very dangerous to our society and we have to acknowledge that.”
What he is saying with a straight face is that currently Democrats and Republicans are being given an equivalence and that the MSM needs to stop showing such equivalence.
No more Mr. Nice Guy according to Don Lemon.
I though the new management at CNN would fire this racist moron. I guess they picked up on the fact that none of their viewers are coming back.
Now this is another level of inflammatory bull****
Through their commentary, they are already critical of the Republicans and conservative side of our politics.
Journalists need to reports facts, even inconvenient facts. They were uniformly sad when Trump was elected in 2016. Those commentators on election night 2016 make for great viewing in that regard.
More recent examples of that are the 2021 GOP victories in Virginia’s off year elections. These are facts that these people on TV need to report. If they don’t like that result that’s something we will hear about. But the fact is, the Republican party controls more states than the Democrats do.
Just to summarize, there are two major political parties in our country, and for political “journalists” to do their job, they need to report and draw these equivalencies which the likes of Don Lemon don’t like. It might be different if the GOP only got as many votes as Libertarians or Greens.
But you can’t just write off a political party whose nominee officially got about 47%, officially, of the vote in the most recent presidential election. For “journalists” to just write off that party as if they are the lunatic fringe, is to write off America itself.
Political opposition is now a crime in the eyes of homos.
Does Don Lemon get good ratings? I mean good ratings among CNN hosts? Maybe that’s why he’s still there?
His boyfriend wakes up sucking on a Lemon.
Yes he does. He averaged three viewers compared to two viewers of other primetime hosts.
