If the RW says Don Lemon wasn't acting as a journalist because he has a bias

[bigtree]

...that negates the legitimacy of each and every one of their so-called journalists who are nothing but boot-licking advocacy for republicans and Trump.

Like maga youtuber Nick Shirley who has described himself as an independent journalist, and trespassed into nine daycare centers, accompanied by a Minneapolis citizen who had reportedly collaborated with sources within the Minnesota state Capitol to allege fraud that was never substantiated.

Don Lemon was at the church protest that he was just arrested for attending in the same journalistic role he's assumed for decades.

Maga's now cheering on their own DOJ effectively deligimizing all of their self-apponted internet podcasters and influencers who claim to be reporters.

1. Yeah, but RWers are completely unembarrassed and unbothered by hypocrisy.

They are openly and unashamedly inconsistent. They have no problem applying different standards to themselves than they do to others.

2. they can't actually use that ignorance to their advantage

...in court, as we've observed.

4. Arresting Don Lemon isn't about court outcomes, though.

It is about the initial headline and lede/blurb, and the deathless talking point/lore for them that that spawns.

Do you ever watch RW "news" sources? They have a whole different history and cultural touchstones that their narrative is embedded within, created from events like these.

5. for knuckledraggers, maybe, who are showing up in the 30's in polling

... Democrats polling at nearly 60% approval, republicans trailing even in the FOX poll.

They still think their salvation is stirring up Americans to appreciate their tyranny, but their game has been revealed as an assault on all of us, not just the ones his base despises.

3. Has the church said anything about this?

They seemed fine talking to Don when he was covering the protest.
