Don Lemon says CNN shouldn't air Trump pressers live
Fox News ^ | March 30 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

CNN anchor Don Lemon suggested on Monday night that his network shouldn't carry President Trump's daily coronavirus briefings because they've become his "new rallies."

"I have said I don't think that you should really listen to what he says, you should listen to what the experts say," Lemon told his colleague Chris Cuomo during their nightly handoff. "I'm not actually sure, if you want to be honest, that we should carry that live. I think we should run snippets. I think we should do it afterwards and get the pertinent points to the American people because he's never, ever going to tell you the truth."

He continued, "And guess what he's gonna do. If you ask a question that is a legitimate question- and if he doesn't like the question, he's gonna say whether you're being mean or not or whatever he wants to call it, he's gonna say, 'That is a mean, nasty question.' Why? Because he wants his base to think that the media is being mean to him and they're attacking him. It is all a plot! It is all orchestrated. And if you can't see it, I don't know what you're looking at. It's obvious, it's transparent to me. This has become- those press briefings have become his new 'Apprentice.' They've become his new rallies. And he treats the press and the media as if he's talking to the people at his rallies. It's the same thing. It's no different except the audience isn't there."

Of course not. If it’s live they can’t cut and paste and make him look like a blabbering idiot.

Trump on tv is good for Trump, and bad for those who want us to believe what they want us to believe.

Guess we’ll all have to watch an actual news channel then, CNN.

Now with the airports empty the ratings for CNN are down to about 17 people a day so what they do or say falls on deaf ears and means nothing.

Yup, if CNN wants even lower ratings, don’t carry the presser.

What have you got to hide, Don? Whatever happened to the WaPo’s “Democracy dies in darkness”, hmm?

Who’s responsible for putting such a retard on TV? They should be sued into the poorhouse.

Oh, so the Poofter Lemon told Fredo Cuomo?

Don ‘Stinkfinger’ Lemon is a joke pretending to report news.

I’ve have a glass of Lemonade that was smarter than Don “Mumbles” LeMon, and that was without sugar.

I looked up the word/definition of “Stupid” in a Chinese dictionary and it had a picture of Don in it.

“Wuhu Don Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.

Health Hint: Don’t eat the egg-drop soup. You never know who or what’s been in it.

No one needs CNN to see the WH briefings. CNN can stop airing them anytime they want. I’d love to watch their ratings die.
