In one of the least self-aware or most disingenuous segments on CNN in a long while, the Tuesday night handoff between Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo and late-night host Don Lemon featured the pair suggesting their network had high standards for journalistic ethics that far surpassed those at Fox News. They also suggested that they would never put out lies about people because they had “news accountability.”
Of course, CNN has been one of the largest perpetrators of peddling lies and misinformation with both of them playing leading roles.
Lemon started the ranting by touting how “fired up” he was to discuss how “social media should be regulated.” “ You shouldn’t just be able to spread things about people that’s not true. It has a big influence on someone’s livelihood, their credibility, their career, even their lives ,” he indignantly proclaimed.
He added: “ I don’t think I should be able to go on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram and say whatever I want about Chris Cuomo whether it’s true or not .”
A couple of minutes later, the duo lashed out at conservative media for having large platforms on social media, huffed about claims of censorship, and suggested they had no standards for journalistic ethics: CUOMO: They’re all righties. LEMON: They’re all righties. They’re – all of them are righties. And listen – and if you want to call it legacy media – even some of the conservative media they do the same thing. They have no – they have no real protocol. They have no real structure in what – they say what they want. They put headlines and things and write about things. “They say it’s opinion. This is all opinion,” Cuomo shouted. Lemon built off his friend and began to say that “ we would never even put it on [TV], give it the light of day …” But Cuomo cut him off to assert, “That’s because we have news accountability .”
Continuing to hound Fox News, Cuomo suggested their “whole nighttime lineup is entertainment” and it was “the Fox farce.” “ They shouldn’t be able to put things […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
