Don Lemon on CNN is doing a great job

[dancingme]

discussing racism in the tea parties- opposition to Obama. This is the second weekend that he has anchored a live discussion on race.

1. I really like that guy.

[elana i am]

2. and he's a hottie! ;)

i guess rick sanchez is doing a pretty good job lately too, although i get a vibe from him like he's trying to imitate keith.

mostly i'm just glad to see that common sense has finally begun to see the light of day at cnn.

5. Yes, he's very cute

but I'm so impressed by his fearlessness. Last Friday night he would not back down when a conservative tried to diminish the racism claims.

3. Yeah I like him. He's got talent as a reporter.

4. good to hear

6. He is a good example

of someone who can manage a civil discussion and not the usual shouting matches with the multiple squares of contributors.
He should give seminars to his media peers.

7. His segment with Lloyd Marcus wasn't very strong.

10. He came out of the Chicago market very quickly

Nice to see him doing so well be shining light instead of stirring things up.

Be sure to send a note of appreciation to CNN about the good job he's doing.

Yes MSNBC!!! Wonder when his contract is up?

12. Don Lemon must be the hardest working

guy on CNN he seems to be on ALL the time, never takes time off. I really like him, I just hope they aren't working him to death. He's really classy and so very cute! :*

17. I'd like to take this opportunity to challenge conventional thinking...

If "corporate-controlled media" are ideologically biasing news coverage to benefit Republicans/conservatives, then why does this example exist?

[JI7]

20. Don Lemon is ok, but he does something a lot of reporters do

they feel the need to be balanced and make stupid comparisons. even though they know the wingnut side is stupid .

it's like whenever some republican is caught having an affair or something the whores decide to bring up Clinton and other dems.
