CNN’s Don Lemon Demands Media Cover Republicans Differently: They Are A ‘Danger’ To Society
The Political Insider ^ | 7/15/2022 | Rusty Weiss

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.”

I read the Bretbart excerpt and what he said is exactly the opposite of the truth. That fits CNN to a t.

This is the kind of talk that led to genocide in Rwanda. Those in the media need to be more careful.

I guess it’s O.K. to be a racist if you hate the right groups.

“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.”


He means that Republicans are doing something dangerous to the liberals. He’s equating “society” to liberal viewpoints and liberal thought.

He may not get out much, as is true of the media in general. As the media are centered in the New York / Washington axis, they just don’t have a clue about how “the country” is, or what is dangerous to “the society”. He means what is dangerous to liberal thinking.

But Republicans are still safer for society than faggots, Don.

"Republicans are a danger to society"

I wonder what percentage of convicted felons are registered Republicans and/or voted for Trump?

Media should cover media differently. Media is a danger to America and Americans. Media needs to begin by telling the truth.
