Crowd of NY Ferguson Protestors Chants ‘F*ck CNN!’ on CNN

Last night in Ferguson, one protestor interrupted CNN’s live coverage to shout “Fuck CNN!” Well, this time, a whole group of New York protestors chanted it for several seconds on CNN.

CNN was covering protests all around the country and listening in on the chants of protestors in New York. And then, for a few seconds, you can hear the profane chant carried live on the cable news network. And there may have been some middle-finger-extending as well…

Watch the video below, as well as the reactions of Anderson Cooper and the reporter hearing this first-hand, via CNN:

blame them. I have gone back to turning it off and getting the news from more reliable sources, from the tens of thousands of people who are live blogging, all over the country, posting photos, telling the truth, not reading from a memo, because just watching for a couple of hours, reminded me why I stopped watching long ago.

CNN is still trying hard to outdo Fox. And I have to say, they might have done it last night.

Van Jones and Jesse Jackson TRIED though they were constantly interrupted, to tell the audience that MOST of the peaceful protesters had gone home before the fires and looting. CNN was not about to allow them to tell the truth.

As for Don Lemon, I did not realize how ignorant he was. Jesse Jackson had to give him a lesson on the Civil Rights Movement right there after he embarrassed himself by attempting to change history by saying that the Civil Movement was totally PEACEFUL, no riots, not like Ferguson!!

Lemon had an agenda, he wasn't even very good at hiding it. CNN tried to blame Civil Rights leaders like John Lewis for 'not trying to keep people from rioting'.

It was an astonishing display, maybe even worse than Fox, which I wouldn't know since we do not turn to that propaganda channel in this house.

While I'm not aware of anything recent he's done, I'm well aware of several where he doubles down on his ignorance on whatever topic they're discussing. From confusing automatic to semi-automatic weapons, his interview with Reza, to what I'm reading with his interview with Talib Kweli.

played it and forced every black guest to apologize or explain it...it was CNN racism at its best, focus on the words of one person, not the cause of the protest.....injustice.
Jeff Zucker is a racist. Wolf Blitzer is a racist. Don Lemon was born in the wrong skin, so they hired him as the token. Anderson Cooper is just confused,

So sue me.
