CNN’s Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo, expressing exactly zero self-awareness, lectured those of us in “right-wing media” on journalist ethics and “news accountability”:
Trying to discredit censorship of conservatives, Cuomo and Lemon lash out at right-wing media, claim "they have no real protocol" for journalistic ethics. Lemon says, "We would never even put" false claims on TV. Cuomo adds: " That's because we have news accountability." pic.twitter.com/K5q45fZ2Il

This is really funny for a number of reasons, such as the time the guy on the left suggested that a black hole possibly swallowed a missing airplane:
one of the two people in this conversation once theorized on-air that a black hole swallowed a missing airliner. https://t.co/p7kA2P3ryn

Do they even pay attention to what’s going on at CNN?
Lemon also went off about how "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."
Last year, CNN had to settle a defamation suit with a teen they targeted. pic.twitter.com/jOBvKteOtJ— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) September 29, 2021
