Don Lemon Getting Himself Arrested Proves Traditional ‘Journalism’ Is Just an Echo Chamber of Weirdos
Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents late Thursday night, and the reaction from the media class has been far more revealing than the arrest itself.
Lemon landed himself in custody after storming into a church in Minnesota earlier this month with other leftists and demanding answers from congregants and pastors.

In what universe is that rational behavior?
Lemon has never been an especially serious or honest figure, so the stunt itself was not surprising.
What was predictable was how the corporate media rushed to his defense.
The reaction to Lemon’s arrest reminds us to see modern journalism for what it is, which is a closed echo chamber fueled by delusion and self-importance.
Traditional reporters no longer see themselves as accountable to the public or even to basic standards of behavior. That’s because they think everyone else is stupid and below them.
They live their lives primarily to impress one another.
