CNN anchor Don Lemon just couldn’t resist editorializing over liberal Senator Barbara Boxer’s slam against a conservative Senator, James Inhofe. During the cable program "CNN Newsroom," anchors Lemon and Briana Keiler played a contentious exchange between the Democratic Senator and her Republican colleague in which Boxer chastised Inhofe for interrupting former Vice President Al Gore’s global warming testimony. After the clip, this exchange followed: Video clip: Real (1.62 MB) or Windows (1.84 MB) plus MP3 (281 KB)

Brianna Keiler: " Wow. All right. That was quite an exchange. And, you know, we were expecting something from Senator James Inhofe. He is a critic of global warming....We thought maybe it might be with him and former Senator, former Vice President Al Gore, but it ended up between him and Senator Barbara Boxer. She really got a stinger in there, I will say."

Don Lemon: "[Laughs] Good for her."

"I was forced to watch CNN as I was working out, and I saw this very thing..."

I can't tell you how it pains me to see CNN on televisions in military offices. Whenever I go to the base hospital or dental clinic they have CNN on the TV, which is absolutely insulting from my point of view.

No network has ever displayed more open hostility toward the US military, and no network has done more to besmirch the US military than has CNN. To see any TV showing CNN on a military installation about makes me puke.
