Condescending CNN Anchor Don Lemon Begins Interview with Sen. Rand Paul: “Let’s Do This Interview without Talking Points” – Video 7/30/11

Beyond condescending.

Here is video of CNN Anchor Don Lemon conducting an “interview” with GOP Sen. Rand Paul on the ongoing Debt Limit struggle. Actually, Lemon was totally unprofessional and condesending toward Paul, telling him at the outset he didn’t want to hear “talking points,” while he himself spouted one Democrat Talking Point after another!

Throughout the interview, Lemon interrupted Paul, especially when Paul was giving answers he did not agree with! At one point he literally shouted Paul down to cut off his answer and ask another question. Paul held his ground, and did well in a very difficult environment.

    What a clown.  What was that journalism 101 – Be tough.  Good Grief!!!!

    Lemon is a hack and an unprofessional clown…and a coward, to boot! I challenged him on twitter over his remarks last week, in terms of the manner he was “reporting” and embellishing the Winehouse death news, and he never responded.

    What an appalling interview. Lemon should be ashamed of himself.

    He should, John. But  he is probably beyond feeling shame for his behavior.

    Interesting, Carlos. I’m not surprised he never responded. “Unprofessional” is exactly what he was in this interview.

    I have to say I was actually shocked by Lemon’s attitude and behavior – and that’s hard to do when it comes to the Mainstream Media. This was even worse and more biased than normal.

    I have often wondered how low the media would sink…no more.  Lemon exudes everything inappropriate for someone who aspires to stand out from his peers.  He does indeed stand out…most unprofessional interviewer ever!
