Nobody (and we mean nobody) should be surprised to see the mainstream media running cover for Don Lemon even though the guy hasn't been a member of the press for a long time now.
Honestly, we're not sure he ever was.

"And George, I don't know if you've watched the videos or read the indictment about what it's alleged that Mr. Lemon did, but if anybody in this country thinks that that is quote, independent journalism, I would like to have a conversation with you."

It's always good to see George squirm. Note, we know that technically we should be using his last name so we can be all proper AP and stuff but full disclosure, his name is a pain in the backside to spell out.
