Don Lemon is hilarious. Like others I also watch CNN for the entertainment. They are a network of shameless crazy people who love fanning the flames of division and hate. I will watch stuff like CNN and other lunatics like Alex Jones, because really, it never hurts to know just what is out there. Each day the CNN website is plotted with hilarious story titles like "Trump's has shown what we feared him to be" dun dun duuuuuuuun! CNN is too funny to NOT watch. Similarly, ESPN has also turned into a channel full of tears, sorrow, and concocted outrage.

Crom laughs at your CNN!

So he is clearly NOT talking about Charlottesville.

If he comes at me loaded with weapons, curses and brandishing symbols of hate I would not think he might be a mugger.

That wasn't the case at Berkeley. They attacked people that were there to see a speaker, not Nazis, not White Nationalist. Heck, the people they attacked weren't even protesting anything.

Yes, I thought we were talking about Antifa, not specifically Charlottesville. But I wouldn't be particularly surprised if their tactics were the same.

This article says it all for me. Militants from both sides traveled far and wide just to fight. Both sides guilty -- WHAT. Different there -- they wanted to fight each other -- they weren't trying to promote hate group agenda (either side).
For many at violent Berkeley rally, it wasn't really about Trump or free speech: They came to make trouble - LA Times

I think that is a different Berkeley incident. It's too late for me to read that whole thing, but I was talking about the Milo speech. That was not in April. It was during the winter.

Edit: Here it is:
Quote:
Berkeley, California (CNN)Protests that erupted at UC Berkeley ahead of a planned Wednesday appearance by right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos caused $100,000 worth of damage to the campus, the school said Thursday.

The university blamed "150 masked agitators" for the unrest, saying they had come to campus to disturb an otherwise peaceful protest.
Two Berkeley College Republicans "were attacked while conducting an interview" on the campus on Thursday, UC Berkeley also said in a prepared statement. The attackers, who were not affiliated with the university, were taken into custody by UC Berkeley police.

I never really paid much attention before the whole Trump thing. But now I "get it". CNN is not news. CNN is an ultra-left presentation. Now I can't even watch for 2 seconds unless it's something like a hurricane that they're covering. Anything to do with politics is going to be a lecture on how they want me to think, so I change the channel.
I've stopped watching the news altogether, and have canceled my subscriptions to my local news paper and Time magazine, because I am just so sick of the nonsense.

If you just want regular news you can watch CNN Headline News otherwise CNN is the anti-thesis of FOX....you know the Fair & Balanced!

It's the height of good journalism and asking the questions to power that need to be answered. Jake Tapper is highly intelligent which intimidates many simpletons out there. Jake Tapper for President.
