Related: About this forumTYT: CNN Blew Ferguson Coverage & Nobody Blew It Bigger Than Don Lemon
"On Tuesday, everyone is talking about racism, violence, justice and what a ding-a-ling CNN's Don Lemon is.
As Ferguson erupted into anger, bullets and flames Monday night, Lemon ham-handedly drew tear gas into his own gas mask, whined for water and a device to contact his producers, and then made a culturally insensitive comment about protesters smoking pot.
Tuesday Lemon was further blasted by critics online for imitating the St. Louis accent and for retreating to a safe room while other CNN reporters stayed out on the scene.
But it was his useless observation that he smelled drugs in the air that polarized critics.
"Maybe a minute, two minutes ago we heard a gunshot and watched people scattering," Lemon said."* The Young Turks hosts John Iadarola (TYT University), Ben Mankiewicz and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) break it down.

with the "news" media in the US. He is literally nothing but a telegenic teleprompter reader. He has no intellectual depth whatsoever, and has a penchant for shitting on people who don't have any political power.
