Don Lemon Cuts Off Show Early Over 'Fake News' Comment

[anatta]

CNN's Don Lemon cut off the last segment of his own program early Friday night after Paris Dennard, former staffer in President George W. Bush's administration referred to his discussion as "fake news."

"The president is not breaking any laws, and he's not doing anything," Dennard had commented during a discussion of the taxpayer costs for President Donald Trump's frequent trips to Florida and other locations of Washington D.C., reports Talking Points Memo.

"Fake news is when you put out a story to intentionally deceive someone and you know that it is wrong," Lemon said, while interrupting Dennard. "This story that we’re doing right now is not to intentionally deceive anyone. We are simply talking about the cost to keep a President safe."

A CNN spokesperson said Saturday that Lemon was running up against time constraints and the segment was running too long. That is why he cut it off, CNN said.

Before he cut him off, Lemon also told Dennard, now a political commentator, to stop with his "stupid talking point" about the discussion being "fake news."

"If you don’t want to participate in the news stories on this network, then don’t come on and participate," Lemon told him. "But don’t call them fake because you don’t agree with them. Go on."

"Don, this is a fake news story, in my opinion," Dennard shot back, "because the underlying assumption is that— "

Lemon interrupted again, thanking Dennard and others while ending his program early.

CNN, Morning Joe have become unwatchable- wallowing in pity for the death of the free press-
with endless kvetching regarding Trump.

Lemon is a jerk. Lots' of *eye rolling* (literally) during his show.

Should we expect more from the FAKE media? We are entering the era of lowered expectations and a leftist media no longer pretending to be subjective, honest or even interested in the truth.

The only thing that surprises me here is that Morning Joe still has enough viewers to sell advertising.

I agree, and I used to turn it on every morning (Mika and Joe do have great chemistry together). Mike Barnicle is soooo bent ... over Hillbag's loss, he's filled with rage. He IS the "angry old white man".

Barnicle is a Boston liberal-completely out of touch with reality.

Those other hacks Halperin and what'shizface had that MSNBC pre-election show on that routinely dismissed any Trump victory ( and these are supposed to be poll guys)

Then they have a dose of anti-Russian hysteria,and the same thing the next day.

It's hard not to do that with the constant lying you Trumpeters do. His utter contempt for your ilk doesn't make him a jerk, it is a reflex of the frontal cortex of any upright, healthy intelligent mammal when dealing with the endless foolish jibber jabber of you mental toddlers.

Lemon is a great host. And his show is always has a pretty equal # of righties on it.

The "fake news" marching orders that Trump has given all of his minions is annoying.

So whats the point of "an equal # of righties on" (sic) if you refuse to let them speak and conveniently run out of time to cut them off....
think for a change thingy

That ploy is becoming fairly common on his show and CNN in general.....happened a few times in the past and was commented on by other networks

If its not 'time', they conveniently lose the feed, or the audio....theres always an excuse and the timing is conveniently perfect .

I have never seen him do that. He has always given equal time. The other night, his panel was ALL Trump supporters.

I didn't see the particular incident from the OP, so can't really speak to it. But, of course - neither did you.
