blame them. I have gone back to turning it off and getting the news from more reliable sources, from the tens of thousands of people who are live blogging, all over the country, posting photos, telling the truth, not reading from a memo, because just watching for a couple of hours, reminded me why I stopped watching long ago.

CNN is still trying hard to outdo Fox. And I have to say, they might have done it last night.

Van Jones and Jesse Jackson TRIED though they were constantly interrupted, to tell the audience that MOST of the peaceful protesters had gone home before the fires and looting. CNN was not about to allow them to tell the truth.

As for Don Lemon, I did not realize how ignorant he was. Jesse Jackson had to give him a lesson on the Civil Rights Movement right there after he embarrassed himself by attempting to change history by saying that the Civil Movement was totally PEACEFUL, no riots, not like Ferguson!!

Lemon had an agenda, he wasn't even very good at hiding it. CNN tried to blame Civil Rights leaders like John Lewis for 'not trying to keep people from rioting'.

It was an astonishing display, maybe even worse than Fox, which I wouldn't know since we do not turn to that propaganda channel in this house.
