Whoa.
Is Don Lemon aware of what he just did here? In a podcast with National Review’s Jamie Weinstein, the CNN anchor admitted that pro-Trump pundits he has on his show regularly lie to viewers and he’s OK with it:
Don says that some of the pro-Trump commentators CNN has on admit off air that they don't believe what they are saying https://t.co/ueCLtWKebD pic.twitter.com/odqfuD925a

CNN political commentator Tara Setmayer went on to back Lemon up and confirm that people at CNN are aware that the network puts people on air that aren’t telling the truth:
This is 100% true. I’ve witnessed this first hand. Many are more concerned about “good TV” or favor with Trump than what’s right. It’s infuriating. https://t.co/Jn1d8WyyKz

Lemon won’t name names, but he just tainted every single one of the conservatives/Republicans/Trump supporters he brings on.
For example, is former Trump campaign communications director Jason Miller lying?

What about former Ted Cruz campaign communications director Alice Stewart?

Or former Trump adviser Steve Cortes?
Former Trump adviser Steve Cortes: "The President needs to fire Jeff Sessions. He needs to fire Rosenstein. He needs to fire Mueller. This is a sham investigation. This is his own Justice Department trying to usurp the power of the presidency" https://t.co/aRY10iXj6c pic.twitter.com/xKAmQGfyLB

Now, we’re not naïve enough to think this isn’t happening on every cable panel, but it’s CNN who is going after everyone else for apples and bananas. We know that if a Fox New or MSNBC host made this claim, CNN’s media guy Brian Stelter would be all over it.
Another tidbit from the interview, Lemon claimed that he invented the “modern cable news panel” with his moronic coverage of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370:
During our discussion of the cable news panel, Don noted that he created the modern cable news panel and I press him on whether that's a good thing https://t.co/ueCLtWKebD pic.twitter.com/aXcofLKzav

And Lemon thinks this a good thing?
