CNN anchor Don Lemon held a Confederate flag and then a sign with the N-word on it. He asked his viewers if either of the visuals offended them. Many were offended, not just by the flag and sign but also by Lemon. Mike Sington photoshopped a photo of Lemon holding a sign that read: “My Constant Ploy For Attention.”
Glenn Beck had Lemon on as a guest on his radio show this week. The two spoke about “the dangers of political correctness.” Lemon said most people listen to the loudest voices the most, “and we shouldn’t.” Lemon believes we should listen to those who surprise us. He explained with an anecote about being stuck in traffic, reading social media, when he read a tweet questioning why Don Lemon still has a job. Lemon told Beck: “The reason I still have a job is because listen to me. People tune into my show every night because they want to hear the truth. They don’t want to be pandered to.”
