Don Lemon just destroyed Corey Lewandowski on CNN

Last edited Wed Sep 21, 2016, 02:51 PM - Edit history (1)

Subject - Trump's "outreach" to blacks. Don obviously takes this personally. This wouldn't have happened two weeks ago; now all of the CNN hosts are piling on. CNN executives have have "turned the dogs loose" on Trump.

Btw, hello, again. Okay, onto the topic: I am so incredibly confused by network and cable news election coverage this year! But I think that, over time, CNN and MSNBC have been liberal -- or at least tended that way ... or at least had some programs and reporters who were. And maybe they still are or will be.

It's been weird this year, though. I quit turning to CNN this summer b/c was sick of their conservative sounding bias. It was really weird. I think Don Lemon has been an exception, maybe others were, too.

MSNBC has several liberals like Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell. But MSNBC also has some others who are either conservative or inept at dealing w/ conservative guests who twist things around. Andrea Mitchell and Brian Williams seem to be this way more often or not.

But there are so many other programs and reporters (and chair warmers) they have that I don't see or read. Anyway ... have a good one.

lewandowski, kayleigh, and, especially that obnoxious, egregious, bullying capo, epshteyn

that was truly a thing of beauty. CL, fast talker that he is, almost screwed his tongue through his uvula, trying to spin out enough lies per second to break the Guiness world record for bullshitting.

he was talking so fast as to be almost indecipherable

I wish somebody would call all these jagoffs out for their fast talking tells.....nothing outs a liar more obviously than the speed at which they try to get the lying over with

The difference now is that Trump pushed too far and has shown himself to seriously be trying to threaten freedom of press. The media is NOT having it...well, the majority aren't. They won't be going easy on him at all anymore. They'll destroy him.

It was only the Trump surrogates arguing that Trump's outreach was real.

outrageous lying about Trump. They are calling out those and when they try to divert the conversation to their Hillary talking points they are brought back to the question ask and if the answer does not come they are saying "looks like we do not get an answer".

was the last straw for the MSM. They resent being played, and now, it's payback time.

..."destroyed" is meaningless. He'd need to be "destroyed" each and every time he's on, but that would be a full-time job and hailed as obvious "liberal media bias".

that this is the best Don Lemon I've ever seen.

Corey was slapdashing his way through the usual rightwing talking points and Lemon just took him out at the knees.
