What the most trusted brand in American journalism ended up covering,…
One sage protestor said what every CNN viewer was thinking when he interrupted Don Lemon's disastrous coverage in Ferguson earlier tonight to shout, "Fuck CNN" live on air.
A succinct moment of fury in Ferguson from a young woman named Angel, who reports that she watched a woman have a heart attack and then get teargassed: "We tired of this. And y'all shoulda seen this coming. Y'all shoulda seen it coming. Now it's here. United States, stand up with us."
How long you think it took for Don Lemon to say something infuriatingly dumb and insensitive on this rotten night? If you guessed less than a minute after Anderson Cooper threw to him, you guessed right.

Earlier today on CNN, Don Lemon responded to the outcry regarding his suggestion that Joan Tarshis could have bit Bill Cosby's dick during his alleged assault on her in 1969:
CNN’s Don Lemon might as well have asked Joan Tarshis, “Did you try not getting raped by Bill Cosby?”
CNN host and frequent Daily Show guest Fareed Zakaria had Jon Stewart on GPS to talk about his new film, Rosewater, but couldn't resist cornering Stewart into admitting he watches CNN. A pyrrhic victory, considering what Stewart had to say about the network.
It wasn't that long ago when Crossfire, CNN's goofy establishment shoutfest, was considered a serious detriment to journalism. Well, it took care of itself. The show is being canceled (again).

Joan Rivers' doctor took a selfie with the unconscious comedian in the operating room before her endoscopy, according to a new report from CNN.

CNN's Don Lemon is having a tough year, and it's not getting any easier. But he's great for cautionary tales.

Today, CNN's Don Lemon interviewed Talib Kweli about why the rapper chose to travel to Ferguson and participate in protests there. It did not go very well.
A few minutes ago, CNN anchor Jake Tapper tweeted—and quickly deleted—two mysterious messages: “Please don’t make it soubd [sic] like I reached out to you” and “Lauren would kill me.” Both appear to be directed at someone Tapper was trying to reach via Twitter’s direct message function.
