CNN anchor Don Lemon walked of his show after a conservative contributor called him out for reporting “Fake News”.
The Fake news came in regards to President Donald Trump’s recent trips to Florida.The discussion centered around the costs of the trip. As a report from POLITICO suggested it could cost taxpayers over $3 million.Although these reports are unverified CNN still decided to report on it.
When asked about this story a conservative contributor said “the president is not breaking any laws, and he’s not doing anything. It’s a fake news story.”
Lemon then interrupted and demanded that he “please stop it with that stupid talking point, that it is a fake news story.”
This comes just as CNN has come under heavy fire from many people for reporting fake news including President Trump who called CNN ‘very fake news’ at his last presser. So evidently CNN can dish it out, but they can’t take it!.

Don Lemon: “Paris, what do you think?”
Paris Dennard: “I think this is fake news. This is not…this is not a news story.”
Don Lemon: “What about it is fake, Paris? Are we going down this road again?”
Paris Dennard: “Yeah we are! The President is not breaking any laws.”
Don Lemon: “…Please stop with that stupid talking point that this is a fake news story!…”
Paris Dennard: ” Don this is a fake news story in my opinion….”
This is where Don Lemon couldn’t take it anymore, cut off his guest and walked off his show!
Don Lemon: “Ok, thank you very much everyone. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend. Good night all.”
Of course CNN was blathering on about the cost to keep President Trump safe and how to make it fiscally better for the American people…all of a sudden liberals want to watch pennies and be fiscally responsible. I guess we’ll just have to suspend reality for a moment to forget about the trillions of debt Obama racked up.
A CNN later spokesperson later told Mediaite: “Don said prior to getting to Paris Denard [sic] ‘this is short and I want to get everyone in.’ He was running up against time to end the show and the conversation went long. That is the reason the show ended as it did.”
However this is just another example of the incompetence and bias that flows through the hole CNN organisation 24 hours a day.
