“I said to you do you think in a party – in a mostly-white party in a mostly-white state, did you really stand a chance, not only of a nomination, of becoming President?”

The GOP isn’t that racially different from the Democratic party. Is Lemon really ignorant of that or is he playing dumb to perpetuate the racist stereotype he holds personally into his “objective” report?

“Let’s do this interview without talking points, let’s just talk to each other, OK?”

Is Don Lemon serious? He interrupted Paul constantly; no one wants to hear Lemon try to argue (instead of interview) with Paul and try to pass it off as a Q and A. We want to hear Paul answer.

On Monday, February 28, CNN stopped carrying water for Democrat politicians just long enough to carry a little bit for Islamic extremists instead. This happened when host Don Lemon modeled the Hollywood mentality that explains away America’s distrust of radical Islamists by accusing salt-of-the-earth Americans of being ignorant or un-edgumacated (like Sarah Palin or Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush or Dick Cheney).

This mentality allowed Lemon to provide film director Qasim Basir a platform from which to promote “Mooz-lum” – a movie intended to “clear up some of [the] ignorance” Americans seemingly have about Islam.

(Don’t you love it when CNN, or any other MSM outlet, begins a story on the relationship between Americans and Muslims by focusing on how ignorant the Americans are?)

In addition mocking Americans’ supposed lack of knowledge pertaining to Islam, the Lemon/Basir segment highlighted the need for tolerance in religion. Not surprisingly, they focused on a lack of tolerance in the U.S. without ever mentioning the modesty police in Muslim countries like Iran: modesty police publicly flog women for wearing skirts that are too short or clothes that are too revealing. Nor did they mention the fact that it’s still illegal to build a Christian church in Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia (where it’s also against the law for women to drive cars). And the list goes on … (more…)

CNN is already under fire for giving disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer a TV show during family hour; now the network is being targeted by minority journalists for the hire. The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) has joined the protest. NABJ sent an open letter (full text below) to all the cable new networks –CNN, FOX and MSNBC- about the lack of racial diversity on their airwaves.

In the letter, the journalist organization specifically attacked CNN for replacing Campbell Brown at 8 p.m. with Eliot Spitzer.  “It just seems that cable news can never find diverse candidates who are good enough to meet their standards. We want to know your standards,” NABJ demands in the letter.

CNN President Jon Klein has been unabashed about hiring the disgraced Spitzer. In the  bizarre statement from the network, Spitzer is described as “a Democrat who resigned as governor in March 2008 after acknowledging visiting a prostitute, is a well respected political mind and a take-no-prisoners prosecutor.”

NABJ jumps on this, asking the cable network in the open letter: “Are you telling us that CNN could find no one better than an ex-politician who quit being New York governor after consorting with prostitutes to grace America’s living rooms each night?” The text of their letter: (more…)

The Democrats and their activist old media are running in circles and working themselves into pretzels trying to define the “Tea Party” movement. It can be quite entertaining to watch.  They really have no idea what is happening right in front of their eyes. The media would have an easier time reading Mandarin Chinese than they would deciphering the signs at a Tea Party rally.

You could argue that they don’t want to understand what they are seeing because that means they would have to admit that Democrats have lost the beloved grass roots that they claim to have had forever, and I would not disagree. But, for the moment, let’s just say that they are really trying hard to figure this out and it’s just not sinking in to their brilliant Ivy League minds.

Let’s give them a little hint:

Sunday on Meet the Press, Dee Dee Myers, the former Clinton press secretary, took a stab at defining the Tea Party movement. “I’m not sure exactly where this is going….is it a third party, is it part of the Republican Party?” (more…)
