Atrocious treatment of Bill Nye on CNN by the moran Don Lemon...

[PCIntern]

Cut him off, just about laughed in his face. Nye stood his ground and, as he was being dismissed, said something to the effect that the science was complicated, not simple stuff. These idjits were almost laughing at him. Bastards should rot in hell for not allowing competent people to speak to this...they're all anti-science...I expect Lemon to say that radioactivity has only been around for 5000 years or so...

Assholes of the first order...

5. I just saw Olbermann's tweet to lay off Nye...

says he went to Cornell with him in '77.

16. Here's a copy and paste of Olbermann's tweet

Can we stop all the hating on Bill Nye, Cornell '77? He, Maher and I were all at that fine institution simultaneously #CayugasWaters about 1 hour ago via Twittelator

6. Saw that too...just when it was getting interesting between Chad and Nye.

Essentially Chad Myers (intelligent weather guy at CNN) and Nye were blowing holes in the Japanese cover stories about the reactors. It must have worried the producers.

10. Corporate news doesn't really want to inform us on the risk/result of corporate failure.

Lotta fingers in the nuke plant industry pie.

11. Lemon is horrible and the sidekick guy is

Dumb as a sack of hair. I'm wondering if s/k guy has even had a break today. He seems to be auditioning with all the CNN and CNN international regulars 'cuz he's been on screen since early morning.

Lemon is one of the worse broadcasters on CNN. Yet his contract continues to be renewed.

Both of them though are unparalleled smooth brains. Just pitiful.

23. better idea: tweet CNN, let the world know

big organizations HATE negative tweets. they just hate them.

[Dappleganger]

24. Sent him an email.

Told him he lost a viewer (not true, he never really had me). Told him he should apologize for his unprofessional behavior.

26. Thanks, I say we all write this idiot and tell him how lame he is

and that he is five seconds away from being fired.

[Motown_Johnny]

27. thanks, done

my comment:

Don Lemon's treatment of Bill Nye is unacceptable. Please stop sending a child to do a man's job (intellectually speaking). The man is a mental midget and has no place on the air. Can't you do any better than him? Seriously? The man is simply does not measure up.

13. I'm SO happy not to work in entertainment any more.

Those people are ugly on principle. Thank you, God.

[snappyturtle]

14. I saw that! Bill Nye was explaining things I have been wondering

all day about in laymen's terms, which I greatly appreciated. Don Lemon and friend were dismissive, curt and borderline demeaning to Bill. Ignorance is bliss.

[drokhole]

15. Lemon is a shitbird of the highest order.

Guy was a total dick when the Wisconsin story broke, never bothered to get his facts straight, relentlessly critical of the Democrats in a smarmy passive-aggressive way. Can't stand that asshole.

18. motivation and context?

.

[Festivito]

19. Remember, it's not what you know, it's who you know.

And, our press know the rich folk who buy the ads that keep them in hair spray.

So there, science guy. Ha. I got mine.

< / end of stupidity of our nation's press >

20. K&R!

CNN is resorting to Fox News tactics (making fun of the messenger) to promote their corporate message that nuclear power is as safe as mother's milk.

[Junkdrawer]

21. Here's the first part of the video:

22. Is this it?

I turned it off as the first guy stumbled on his pictures/words/ideas trying to explain what a meltdown was and how it worked(I think it was the weather guy). It was clear he didn't have a firm grasp of what was going on or how to explain it never saw it till now.

29. I guess so, but you wouldn't think so had you gone by this OP

25. Scientists and Engineers are scorned in this country.

Popular culture writes off science as opinion, and mixes politics into scientific research and discoveries. I say this as a Mechanical Engineer.

[ReggieVeggie]

28. I just saw the video...WTF are you talking about?????

He had to go to commercial. He didn't laugh at Nye. What the hell?
