CNN Don Lemon Named ‘Worst Journalist of 2014’

CNN’s Don Lemon was named as the “Worst Journalist of 2014″ on the Columbia Journalism Review, Darts & Laurel blog. Lemon was the only named journalist, although publications were also mentioned.There were a series of, well, misspoken words which were not chosen wisely.

According to the Article "The Worst Journalism 2014, several flaws of his were outlined as thus:
"He later compared spanking children to training dogs and probed similarities between the release of US Army POW Bowe Bergdahl and the Showtime series Homeland.

"When an alleged Bill Cosby rape victim appeared on his show on Nov. 18, he lectured, “You know, there are ways not to perform oral sex if you didn’t want to do it…Meaning the use of teeth, right?” Less than a week later, as protests turned violent in Ferguson, MO, he described the scene: “Obviously, there’s a smell of marijuana in the air.” Lemon’s job isn’t easy. But he’s earned a DART for going there. Obviously. "
