CNN Cuts Off Don Lemon’s Mic After He Starts Saying 2016 Was ‘Awful’ - General

[media]https://youtu.be/HIvCz-rTFBg[/media] Seems like Lemon had quite abit to drink. He even got his ear pierced on live TV. [t]http://admin.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2017-01/197708_5_.jpg[/t]

2017 has only just begun, and Don Lemon has won it.

Why though? Why mute his mic? Its truth.

[QUOTE=Toothpick;51611348]are you really asking this question[/QUOTE] Yes

[QUOTE=Geos88;51611241]Why though? Why mute his mic? Its truth.[/QUOTE] Probably because they thought he was gonna shit talk Trump and CNN despite being left-wing can't outright say Trump is a doorknob fucking moron.

[QUOTE=Geos88;51611241]Why though? Why mute his mic? Its truth.[/QUOTE] CNN has a habit of cutting off people who start to go on a truth rant, just look up the classical examples of them "losing feed".

Imagine he wasn't even going to say anything bad. Imagine he was just gonna say 2016 WAS AWFULLY GOOD. But yea, it's weird how they would do that, ignoring the fact that it's CNN. Wouldn't it make sense to let him go through with how bad 2016 to emphasize how 2017 could be better?

CNN must have a full time position for accidental mic cut

I get they wanted to avoid negativity at a time like this, but I don't get why they would cut off the guy for saying something as simple and truthful as that. I bet he wasn't even planning to continue on the topic after he said it.

They keep Don on a short leash at CNN. Here's what he did last year(no fun allowed at CNN apparently) [video=youtube;VMKrL5epfL4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMKrL5epfL4[/video] And here's some other shit he's done that's gotten the network in hot water [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zYg1Bf2.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KBq4ADX.jpg[/IMG]

Also said he smelled pot during the Ferguson protests, what a bizarre guy it sounds like he wants to be 'truthy' but can't quite

Just another thing to add the long list of potential things that show CNN rather craft a narrative then let news or journalism guide themselves.

[QUOTE=Rossy167;51615024]But why can't they do that?[/QUOTE] from what i've seen of the behavior of trump supporters, i wouldn't talk shit about trump on TV either they obviously would get a large amount of backlash from them and IMO that isn't worth it

Did you live in an alternate reality where the mainstream media outlets weren't already talking shit about him?

[QUOTE=Tudd;51615175]Are fucking you bonkers? Did you live in an alternate reality where the mainstream media outlets weren't already talking shit about him?[/QUOTE] i suppose not, it was just a thought

[QUOTE=Tudd;51615175]Are fucking you bonkers?

Octopod is talking about an off the cuff rant.

maybe, and this is a stretch here maybe he was cut off because he was clearly fucking smashed

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;51615411]maybe, and this is a stretch here maybe he was cut off because he was clearly fucking smashed[/QUOTE] Well they didn't get cut during a live piercing while smashed so that theory is out.

[QUOTE=Tudd;51615437]Well they didn't get cut during a live piercing while smashed so that theory is out.[/QUOTE] you're right tudd, I'm sure this is just another example of censorship by the clinton news network I bet they didn't count on a genius like you unraveling their scheme

[QUOTE=Tudd;51615469]Well my thing is a theory for sure, but yours is very easily disproved by the sheer amount of obviously drunk moments he was having?[/QUOTE] Maybe they didn't want their feel good new years fluff to end in a rant about how terrible everything is? any explanation you could possibly come up with makes more sense than censorship the only reason you float censorship as a possible explanation is because of those other fucking videos from months back that were also obviously not censorship

Hey you said that the censorship was because of his drunkenness originally. I think a lot of us think that it was because of the negativity.
