jarrylf Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 In 2014, Don Lemon has made some pretty questionable reporting choices. It’s those very same choices that earned him a spot on Columbia Journalism Review fellow’s list of the “worst journalism” of 2014. CJR’s David Uberti explains how Lemon ended up on the list for his spotty journalism over the past year. “As one of the most recognizable anchors on CNN, Don Lemon has helped lead the cable network’s coverage of the biggest stories of the year. Live television is exceedingly difficult to produce, of course, but Lemon’s gaffes this year offer a case study in how to choose words wisely — or not,” Uberti wrote. Lemon’s comment that “Obviously, there’s a smell of marijuana” during a Ferguson protestand his remarks during an interview with a Bill Cosby accuser were cited as controversial moments by Uberti. The CNN wasn’t alone in the cable news world on the CJR worst list, Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends also made Uberti’s list. We can’t say he didn’t earn his spot. http://www.lovebscott.com/news/cnns-don-lemon-named-to-worst-journalism-of-2014-list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think 95% of FOX "journalists" are worse than Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCat1989 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I use to like Don. But it seems that every since he came out the closet. He has been trying way to hard to be the center of attention. Instead of reporting the story. He becomes the story. And that's not how its supposed to work. Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity should be there too. I can't stand any of them! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyna ♔ Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 He deserves to be Indeed. He's pissed me off more than any other journalist this year which is saying something for me since Fox's "journalists" always take the top spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 What about Mat lauer or whatever he's called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrylf Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yea I agree with BlackCat ever since he publically came out he's been doin too much, its like a huge personality shift. Ofcourse I hope Sean Hannity & a ton of Fox News performers gets ranked higher than him, but this year Don definitely earned this listing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasSad Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 He is embarrassing. His coverage in Ferguson was over the top. He looks like a damn fool with this gas mask on and a bullet proof vest on like he is in Baghdad. Look how they are looking at him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrylf Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 LOFL YES that whole thing with the gas mask and his cashmere scarf too was ridiculous lol. He's made himself such a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I haven't kept up with news anchors, with the exception of late night national coverage. Former CNN anchor T.J. Holmes is on late ABC, and his professionalism is damn near gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
