CNN Don Lemon - condoning violence if you believe the news is true

Don Lemon - just condoned the violence of the BLM/ANTIFA violence as being okay and justified because their cause was true!

Are you kidding me this guy needs to be taken off the air.

CNN condoning violence at ANYTIME should not be allowed on ANY NEWS sight.

AT LEAST FOX NEWS Condems ALL VIOLENCE!

SHAME ON YOU.

The people whose businesses were destroyed and lives were lost in the riots this summer DESERVE BETTER from CNN.

Desired outcome: FIRE DON LEMON - Apology and Condemnation of Politcal Violence of Any Kind.

CNN Newscast Production

Jack Trapper conducted a LONG-WINDED, 0NE-SIDED offensive newscast and I say OFFENSIVE to AMERICA in his broadcasted speech that President Trump's lies and language led to that riot and that the politicians who incited the riot should be held responsible. If I did not know any better I would immediately think Trump suspect, when in reality where's his call to hold those responsible once we found out the true identity of those responsible. So much for being a true reporter JACK TRAPPER. I thought CNN once a reliable source for unbiased news, only to find that if they back JACK TRAPPER and his reports, then they are as UN-AMERICAN as the rest of the terrorists trying to CHEAT their way into office, and more on point, trying to BULLY AND OVERRUN a peaceful protest by infiltrating Trump supporters and making the appearance that the group was doing the misdeeds. I promise you that my words represent many AMERICANS THOUGHTS: we are being infiltrated by terrorists and whoever is on board with these terrorists, are themselves part of the group.

Desired outcome: recantation and apology by TRAPPER

CNN Newsman getting drunk on the air.

I have to complain about how uttering disgusting and irresponsible it was to allow your newsman to get drunk on the air New Years Eve. First of all, CNN is not a comedy channel. You are supposed to be accurately and fairly disseminating the news. Secondly, you are setting a very bad example by presenting such horrible things. Finally, you are making sure that no one will trust your reporters who are supposed to their jobs very seriously.

Can you imagine Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather getting drunk on air during there news show?

Shame on CNN.

Desired outcome: Never let your newsman get drunk on the air ever again

We as Americans are under the impression CNN, MSNBC, FOX and others are news. We need to realize, when they first started operating these stations and websites, that may have been the case but lets not pretend that they are held to those same standards. If you want news and I mean real news, watch your local news for about 20 minutes to get the news. Everything you read on CNN, MSNBC, FOX and others is opinioned based entertainment and should not be construed as real news. We need to turn them off and if no one watches or goes on the websites to read them, they will eventually decide to print factual news or they will disappear. To me news is substantiated by 3 sources and none of those sources can be from the internet, a magazine, a newspaper or hearsay. I have been looking for real news for a long time but have decided I am not going to get the unbiased truth anywhere for now. I bet we are all missing Walter Cronkite now, the last respected news person. It is sad times for us Americans, we need to stop, take a deep breath and need to learn this is not the real news we are hearing and reading it is just another form of fake Realty TV and the so called journalist and experts are giving us nothing more than their opinions and not facts, so it can't be considered news.

CNN cnn news

Just watched a video of the CNN President on a recorded call. Well several calls. Plus other members of your news service talking about how they can make people look worse. I find this despicable and would have NEVER thought these Journalists would do this, but clearly they lack credibility and I was wrong! I will not ever watch again!

CNN Reporter

I just wanted to express my shock and disappointment to a recent interview I saw titled " pro trump groups gather in Washington protest election" on YouTube. First of all, I am by no means a Trump supporter, but I would like to hear honest, non-biased, respectful reporting. Sara Sniders inability to listen, give the woman a voice, and show any respect was absolutely shocking. I was blown away by how unprofessional Sara's Interview was and how many times she interrupted the woman. It was obviously one sided and opinionated. All people deserve to be respected, given a chance to speak, and listened to despite differing opinions of what is in their reality. Honestly, I was so turned of by this interview it even makes me question the CNN narrative more than ever. I miss how reporting used to be.

I just pulled up this site to express the same thing. There is no way I can personally trust anything CNN has to say when a reporter is so disrespectful and rude. Sara Sniders was basically bullying that woman for disagreeing with her. My understanding of reporting is that they should ask questions and allow the person they are interviewing responds. I am not a supporter of any political candidate.

CNN News reporter

I was very disappointed on a news coverage I saw today. I am not a Trump supporter, but I felt that Sara Sidner reported very unprofessional and goes against anything a real news reporter should do. The coverage on Youtube is titled, "Pro Trump groups gather in washington protest election". She was anything but a reporter. She didn't allow the person she interviewed to tell her own side of the story. That is that women's truth and feelings, and the reporter Sara just battled her. When did journalism become so one sided? Shouldn't Sara want to listen to what the trump supporter wanted to say? Shouldn't media coverage cover all angles? All voices? Like I said, I am far from a Trump supporter, but I am for media balance. I hope that this feedback is noteworthy and brought to Sara's attention. We miss real journalism where being objective and personal belief is set aside to hear all voices.

CNN Reporting that is obviously extremely biased

I am so tired of CNN continually putting their "opinion" in the forefront rather than actually reporting on the news. I worked in media for a number of years and I am highly disappointed, ashamed, and disgusted with the behavior shown by your anchors/reporters. Journalism is supposed to illustrate integrity, be unbiased, report on the FACTS without commentary on opinion. It is about TRUTH. As an old editor once told me, if you want to voice your opinion there is an opinion page for that. Otherwise, stick to the truth/facts. Please stop embarrassing yourselves and the journalism craft.

CNN 615 pm newscast 11/5

Why do you allow 4 news people to sit on your national stage and be SO VICIOUS AND negative towards one senator Santorum.

This same dude was sulking and apologizing on Tuesday night now he is blasting like he is perfect. What a bunch of flip flippers and they / you are incredibly biased when you should be be neutral for the good of all. It's 4 Democrats ganging up on this senator. Unfairly and unprofessionally.
It is as sickening as what they are actually complaining about in president trump.

CNN They don't report the real news..

Biden gets away with murder and they report nothing.. Nothing about the hard drive or the China scam.. CNN is not about news it's about being in bed with the Biden's.. CNN does not even report on Hurricanes anymore it's all about trying to dump on trump.. I was watching the storms and there was nothing on CNN it was all about Trump.. And nothing about Biden being a crook and raking in millions..

CNN Lack of integrity

the entire news organization is joke, and a pathetic attempt at journalism. your best "journalist" is don "pierce his nipples on live tv" lemon and that tells the entire story about the joke that is CNN or should I say the Trump news network because hes obviously controls the network. The fat slob that poses as the owner of this network is a Trumped back coward that tried to give Trump his own show and loves the taste of trump so much that he has destroyed his network and the "journalists" involved by covering no news other than orange man. I laugh in your face at how pathetic this network has become, and if airports were not paid to put your excuse for a news network on there would no viewers at all.

CNN Online article containing false information

The following article about the killing of Patriot Prayer member Aaron Danielson suggests he was going to stab the person who killed him. It mentions an interview with Antifa member Michael Forest Reinoehl who claims he feared being stabbed before shooting Danielson. Video footage clearly shows Reinoehl drove by and shot the man! How can CNN mention this false information. CNN has no integrity.

CNN False articles

I call CNN...Communist left. They look right into the camera and lie. They disrespect the office of the President and attack his press secretary. They have no manners or respect anybody ore anything. I know CNN numbers are falling while Fox news numbers are going up by leaps and bounds.
The owner of CNN { JZ}... seems to have a personal vendetta against our president... who "we the people" elected. STOP reporting with such a bias.

I made the terrible mistake of viewing the stupid CNN on September 5, 2020.
My advise is to watch FOX OR OAN for true news.
The idiot Don whatever made me sick of the stupid ignorant remarks with the Subject that OUR GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP called the falling soldiers as suckers, then showing parts of the remarks broadcast by FOX which plainly showed that OUR GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP did NOT say such things.
Besides a broadcast with the Biden with his ignorant remarks.
Yea! get some interviews with former Obama staff, and sure they will agree, Then this ignorant Don kept saying a person should come and tell the truth, yea, IDIOT, they are going to come and knock on your door a testify this.
It is a dam shame that this so called Don wont have a republican come on and make him, DON eat his [censored]ty words. I have noticed that FOX, has both parties for review, not just your Democrats, why don't you get the story from both sides and see what happens.
I believe that CNN should be monitored for false news and some one get enough complaints to shut them down if they can't give the correct new.
To further prove my point on the subject, I am retired from the US Navy of 24 years and I know a president when I see one, and OUR GREAT PRESIDENT TRUMP I know for a fact loves America and does more than any president for the military
CNN needs to shut their mouth, like I was always taught, if you can't say nothing nice about a person, DO NOT SAY ANYTHING, TAKE THIS TO THE BANK DON AND YOU CNN.
FINALLY, I AM WAITING FOR THE DEBATES ON SEPT 29 AND YOUR BIDEN WILL BE SHREDDED LIKE A PAPER SHREDDER, LIKE HE DID WITH CLINTON.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ON NOV 3, 2020 FOR 4 MORE YEARS.

CNN Brooke Baldwin

I will admit I do not support most of the views of CNN. However, I try to be open minded and listen to CNN a few times a week. Today I was listening to Brooke Baldwin grill one of your guests from the Trump administration. I was horrified at how disrespectful, rude and insulting Ms. Baldwin was. I have never in my life written a company to complain about one of their employees, but this was so over the top that I felt I needed to say something. I thought CNN was a news organization, but every time I listen to one of your hosts, they are giving their opinion, which is not reporting news. I am completely capable of forming my own opinions once I receive the facts. I do not need anyone to do it for me.
Additionally, I am confused as to why none of the phone numbers listed by CNN (on google) to talk with a person actually work? Are you afraid to talk to people?

I completely agree with you! CNN hosts should do what they are highly paid for and not give their own biased views. Brainwashing and drilling their own biased views to us viewers. And as you rightly point out we are all completely capable of forming our own opinions!

I am at a point now that every time I see Don Lemon's face I feel like throwing up! And yes, their manners are appauling. They have no manners or respect for anyone or anything!

I agree with you 100%. I also try to watch all news channels as I wish to be open minded .
Last night while 14 citizens in Chicago outside a funeral home were being shot, CNN never had a word about it. They just continued with Covid 19 and bashing Trump. I kept going back to CNN numerous times to see if they would cover the breaking news in Chicago, but they did not. I think they are so afraid they will say something that will make Trump look good and God forbid they do that.
Also Trump was on at 5 PM for a short briefing on the Covid 19 and CNN did not carry any of it until the questions were being asked. They knew there would be something negative to report from the questions. I wish CNN was a news channel like it used to be instead of their personal opinions.

CNN Don lemon

Your anchorman is slandering White men. Presenting false information as fact. His reckless disregard is malicious and racist. "We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is White men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them." I have filed a complaint with the FCC and submitting one to The FBI.

Don Lemon is a divisive faithless jerk. Jesus Christ is perfection even though in his human capacity he was tempted as we all are - but Jesus resisted and prevailed.

I'm tired of his constant divisive and destructive comments. He hates our president so much he is not an effective report any longer. He used to be good but now he's a pathetic sulking reporter who is out to hurt many of his audience.
