Huh: Don Lemon Suggests There Be an On Air 'Delay' During Trump's Speech

On his program Monday night, CNN's Don Lemon urged the network to incorporate a "delay" during President Trump's primetime address on border security, such as one you'd have during a live awards ceremony when Christian Bale or Patricia Arquette step up to the mic with no filter. Otherwise, it's like their network will be "promoting propaganda" that comes out of Trump's mouth, Lemon feared.

"People will believe it whether the facts are true or not," Lemon said. "I guess that's the chance you take with any president. But this one is different. And then by the time the rebuttals come on, we've already promoted propaganda possibly, unless he gets up there and tells the truth."

The voice of reason? Chris Cuomo. After giving Lemon a dumbfounded look, Cuomo said the president of the United States has the right to speak directly to the American people. And the media has the right to fact check. That's just how it works.

That commie ploy ain't gonna work unless all of the other networks similarly delay their broadcasts. Viewers will just tune in elsewhere.

'Course losing viewers is CNN's specialty.

CNN has their talking points.

CNN's Lockhart Wants Trump Oval Office Text in Advance So Media Can 'Decide What's True'
By Mark Finkelstein | January 8, 2019 7:40 AM EST

Fourth Estate? Forget about it. Joe Lockhart wants to make the media the First Estate, with the right to rule on the veracity of presidential statements before the peons are permitted to hear them.

On this morning's New Day, Lockhart, a CNN political commentator and former spokesman for President Clinton, recommended that the networks not provide live coverage this evening of President Trump's Oval Office address about the situation at the border. Instead,  Lockhart said Trump should give the networks the text in advance, "and let us decide in advance what's true."

Don needs a delay between the alleged thoughts in his head and what comes out of his mouth, because he's a blithering idiot.
