More Ethical Problems at CNN

Another CNN host is being questioned over their journalistic ethics.

Chris Cuomo was fired over the weekend, for his role in trying to keep his bother in the New York governor mansion.

Now, it is Don Lemon that appears to have crossed the line.

Actor Jussie Smollett took the stand in his trail this week and admitted that CNN’s Don Lemon was the person that tipped him off that the Chicago Police did not believe his story about being attacked.

Smollett testified under oath that Lemon warned him back in 2019 that Chicago Police Detectives were dubious about his story that he'd been beaten in the middle of the night by two white men wearing MAGA hats.

If this indeed the case, Lemon clearly crossed the line in using his sources to help a friend.

Lemon has covered the trail, but has not mentioned his involvement in the case. It once again brings into question the ethical problems at CNN.

If CNN sacked Chris Cuomo for helping his brother, does Lemon deserve the same?

The biggest question I have, is how the hell is CNN boss Jeff Zucker still employed?

Looking through CNN’s “Reliable Sources” newsletter, I didn’t see a mention of this story.

Par for the course.
