Don Lemon drunk as frick on air in a NOLA bar is ok, but a sober host doing a remote from a pot shop is horrific.



Lemon can't get any buzz about his being shitfaced on air for the second year in a row. Next year he's going to have to kiss a dude to get even a tweet from Trump.

I bet the revolving smug waves in that echo chamber were deafening.

The Dems making a huge push for pot legalization, congressional term limits, and lobby reform would be a genius move.

To be fair, Jessie Waters was as fricked up as The March of Dimes during Fox’s coverage. He was starting to get a little creepy.

Thankfully Kennedy tactfully difused his creepiness.

It less about pot and more about the lack of professionalism on behalf of CNN.

All the more reason Fox should STFU about this.

I don't think anyone is 'triggered' (by my definition: "provoking a hysterical reaction") so much as shocked at how low-class and trashy that whole segment was.

But... as we all know, nothing is too classless for the Left.

I’m not a big anti pot guy, but they had a reporter with a weird bong and a joint on air in a live broadcast, basically flaunting it. Are there no more taboos? Even Anderson Cooper was cringing, looking the other way during the segment, as it was just an embarrassment, and he knew it. It wasn’t appropriate, and a further decline in decency.

It is kind of low-rent and juvenile to celebrate dudes getting blazed on a bus with a mask. At the very least with the gay mafia tie-in and the idiots screaming and kissing each other it makes the network look like the lightweight entertainment people they really are, instead of the journalists they pretend to be. I think the question is should they just merge with Andy Cohen and Bravo and become an Anti-Trump reality show. Oh wait, they already did that.

That's the problem. It's still considered taboo and it's retarded. I hate this moral pontification. This isn't some decline in decency because they showed weed paraphernalia on tv. You have more of an argument that it's not appropriate to show inebriated hosts (it was from alcohol, not weed) live on tv.

Are you serious?????? All of the posts about CNN on this board and you’re gonna ask him this?????? He probably found out the same was people in this board get up to date on what CNN is reporting. Through osmosis I’m sure.

This is sad that your got all downvotes.

Had it been flipped you would get all upvotes.
Most here like to be told what they like, nothing else.

Nope. Don Lemon drunk isn't professional either, but you don't see that making any headlines.

Do you know what percentage of violent crime in the US is committed by underwear wearers? And somehow that stays legal. Thanks Big Boxer.

No more taboos. It is as it was in the days of Noah.
