eric stanke he shut her down because he knows she's right. He knows he has no proper defense to her factual statements. Don't ignore the elephant in the room. He was unprofessional and a coward for that. Enough with the cherry picking of what's moral or not.
Dragon1717 thats why you keep thinking you won the argument. Because you are too illiterate to know that you are wrong, and possess an unhealthy amount of pride mixed with the belief that you and your side can never be proven wrong. What she does is called a logical fallacy. Specifically speaking, false equivalence and whataboutism, with a tad of ad hominem. Thats why its impossible to argue with you people. You wont look that up or educate yourself; and declare your side the winner. So exhausting.
All through CNN's coverage of this tempest in a teapot, the various news hosts, notably Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon, have been deliberately trying to link Roseanne's words to President Trump, when he had nothing to do with what she said. So it's a bit rich to see dandy Don getting his panties in a twist over Carrie's equating this to leftwing personalities' vile comments, when all she is trying to do is show the blatant double standard that exists with you leftists.
his viewers are stupid.. he himself said so!! and they are too stupid to even realize it!!! Lmao !! he said he didn't want to hear her opinion cause he basically doesn't want hos viewers to automatically agree with whoever is speaking at the time like the sheep they are hahaha
He asked her a question, then shut her down because he didn’t like how she was answering it. Why even have her on if he isn’t going to allow her to answer his question? He doesn’t have to agree with her answer, but he needs to let her give it before he shuts it down.
texas thunder - Roseanne Barr intended to make a malicious statement, and now she's paying the price for it. Unfortunately, many other people are paying the price for it, as well. That speaks to her selfishness and/or mental instability.
Tsinat Gebreselassie she knows it. Why wouldn't she? She also knows she was born in Iran and said she wants to make America more like Iran. The same Iran that says 'death to America ', murders women under shria law, practices child rape as a cultural norm, is openly racist as a cultural norm, practices homosexuality as a cultural norm but then turns around to condemn the practice based on flamboyant behavior. She knows who she is. Clearly you don't.
Did she just say Hillary Clinton 😣, what does Jay-Z have to do with this and what did he say about women please tell me? What college did this lady go to DeVry
This is sort of the plan... while not all conservatives are doing this, MOST hardcore Trump supporters tend to fall back on blame shifting... shifting the blame to someone else moves the discussion away from them and they hope that will end the discussion. More media people should call these people out on their bullshit.
It's worst then that, conservatives do this because they know a news segment has a limited amount of time before going to commercial, so they waste time by talking about other people and topics to leave viewers with whatever they claim as news versus the issue they came to discuss.
E.A. Castro Media people? What u mean all these fake news organizations that have proven they have an agenda and its not a good one unless of course your a soulless Democrat then come on in everyone take my land and destroy my country
Well that is your perspective. Coming from a conservative it’s more like there have been many questionable actions by those in gov but yet the spot light is only on republicans. That seems very one sided. And on purpose. It’s a valiant argument but liberals don’t want to hear it.
BUILD THE WALL one way or the other Mexico will pay, aid will be cut, a tax on money the Mex's send to Mexico, the cheap goods they sent to the U S, lots of ways they will pay, lots of ways to make em pay
Enjoy Rosie O'Donnels neutral comments, suckboy. Rosie O'Donnell is hawking handmade anti-Trump art, which she says she'll continue crafting until the president “is out.” thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/375078-rosie-odonnells-anti-trump-art-selling-out-on-etsy
A lot of people say Don should’ve let her talk! The showtime is limited and you can’t tackle a hundred problems at the same time! The show was about Roseanne’s tweet not anyone else!
ABC Absolutely Batshit Crazy News. Lets call it what it is. Spade a spade. I'm fine with Lemon and his approach on this, but Lemon and his show and ABC for the most part are never honest about other issues. They go as far as to fabricate breaking news stories like Treyvon Martin. NBC did it too. These are simply companies that use legal loopholes to mislead less educated people on purpose. But hey if you watch bullshit it's kind of your fault for being dooped.
Joshua Parks the truth is? It actually needs to escalate. These arguements, the way we are disagreeing, does it remind you of anything? It does me. It reminds me of the civil war and the infighting that constantly raged on in those times. It's like a live damn history movie. If it keeps going like this, something horrible, something nightmarish, is the only option left. It will either start in fire, or it will end in it.
is it Punxsatawney Hillary or something? "but Obama ... but Hillary's emails ..." ... Trump supporters just talk about the same unrelated stuff every day, while todays news, or facts, means nothing to them. what rabbithole are we going down
Michael Anderson the topic and the issue in this case was Roseanne and what she said. Those other things may be valid however they were not the issue here. This is deflection plan & simple. Both sides do it but this was a bit excessive.
Michael Anderson well I think he was trying to keep he on topic which I personally appreciate and actually wish was done more again on both sides. The whole answering what they want to say instead of the actual question makes me crazy and yell at the screen ☺️
svjim1 I’m just going to shed light. If you want to come access as racist. Continue using the word “blacks” please at least use “black people” so your opinion is comprehended without you sounding prejudice. God bless! And have a great night 👍🏾
I noticed no one commented on what svjim1 was saying. They just attacked his comment. Even one idiot was basicly saying blacks could say anything they want because of past history.
Noey Tindol she didn't blame Jayz. She used examples of ppl who made racist/sexist comments to no consequence yet Rosanne is the exception apparently because she is not liberal. It is true.
CNN is to blame for booking this woman and people like her on their channel. Carrie was always going to talk about Hilary. She always finds a way. There's an entire roster of TV personalities that are on deck to muddy the waters for every controversy and CNN uses the majority of them regularly. Thanks to Don Lemon for calling her on it immediately and not allow her to get going to hijack the entire segment.
wildturkey3776 Listen...if she didnt come on to talk about Rosanne which was the subject...Dont come on the show. Stop making excuses for her trying to hijack the show.
rashaun0422 Sure..they can bring better more rational people however. CNN likes their segments to go off the rails as they are looking for the trainwreck.
ozzrob , We HAVE ALL BEEN REDEEMED OF SIN BY CHRIST FOR 2,000+ YEARS NOW....ITS TIME YALL REALIZED THIS.. NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS PLANETS HAS NOT COMMITTED ENOUGH SIN THAT IF HELL WHERE REAL( which there is no fire and brimstone underworld) EVERYONE WOULD BE THERE. THIS IS THE GREATEST DECEPTION OUT THERE. WHY DO YOU THINK JESUS LET THE ROMANS CRUCIFIX HIM.... THE LAMB HAS BEEN SACRIFICED,, THE LION OF JUDAH HAS BEEN AWAKE ALONG TIME NOW FOLKS, IT IS TIME FOR HISTORY TO WRAP UP AND HERSTOY TO BEGIN!!!!
She's acting as though some kind of umbrella government-like power stopped Roseanne's show and administrates all things: "if [x] goes, then [y] should go". Strange thinking for a conservative; surely she should understand that individual companies have the right to choose what's acceptable to them in each case because it's their money.
gettinmonee. Conservative want to be part of Hollywood so bad lol. No one wants to here what they have to say so why would anyone watch a movie about them?
'Deplorable' is not the same as 'unredeemable'. One can quite confidently state that a deplorable person is no longer deplorable once they redeem themselves. However, it's also true that they are still deplorable until they redeem themselves. That's simple logic. Something that seems to be in short supply to those professing the Repugnant religion.
Bill Maher used the N word to make point about racism. Most blacks were not offended by him, in fact, took his side. Bill Maher is a person known to be anti-racist. But he still apologized.
Peter J. Donnelly Ms Breaker to you... There is nothing idiotic about me. I was just raised to be respectful to people , even if their views differ from mine.
Though, I will add here that "whataboutism" is a problem on both general sides of the aisle, on every news network. I've seen a few moments from even Lemon one could call "whataboutism." Ironically, when it comes to people like Roseanne, and then you get the immediate topic of how Trump enables it. If the topic's Roseanne, let it be Roseanne. That only fuels more from others, with one-up-manship. It's why I can't stand this silly political gamut of "liberal" and "conservative." People generally tend to proselytize their general stances, rather than talk about the topic at hand. Granted, conservatives are taking the cake in this stuff, following Trump's lead of employing every manner of dishonest antic under the sun. Even a few conservatives like Rick Wilson and Ana Navarro can recognize the problem. Today, it was Carrie Sheffield. Tomorrow, well, let's be honest--it'll most likely be another Trump-supporting conservative. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's some liberal equivalent somewhere in the media, exhibiting this same kind of fallacy, just because it's easier for people in media to appeal to people's emotion, than to keep one's reason straight and honest.
I've appreciated Rick Wilson and Don Lemon for quite a while now but being reminded of this moment... Respect +100 to both for not taking the bait but continuing to take the stick to the real problem.
Divert divert divert.Carrie is just another "alternative fact" Trumpette who twists / diverts instead of facing the real issue.Like Trump she has the childish smirk that says f... ya'all we are in power haha ignoring the upcoming elections. Rick Wilson is spot on and you can tell by his voice a genuine guy
"When it is, it is - let's call it out." Damn right, exactly. Call them out. Every single time, from the president to the county level. Call them out on their BS. It's 2018, time's up on many levels.
It's very hypocritical to call out 1 person and cause several hundred people involved in the show to all lose their jobs (including several black actors who were on the "Rosanne" show who lost their jobs), but then nobody calls out the other people doing EXACTLY the same thing (or WORST!), like Madonna, Jimmy Kimmel, JZ, etc.. etc.. etc..
First off, liking your own comment before others even read it is pretty lame. Secondly WHAT in the world exactly should even be WORSE than demeaning a whole RACE. You tell me that plz. By the way, people call out a lot these days. But interestingly to me, only conservatives (or at least that's what those trumpists call themselves) seem to often times have a problem when it's fucking RACISM. Why is that? And what's up with that goddam whataboutism all the time, u see something, u say something. Not another thing. Also, those ppl who've lost their job in this are probably the most pissed at Roseanne by the way. It's hypocritical to ignore the reason for all this tbh, which is Roseanne's racism in the first place. And lastly, ya can't spell Jay-Z, can't even spell Roseanne... i bet you also know little about the political system but u're outraged over calling the Roseanne thing what it is, all that also presuming you're white. The world really would be a better place if ppl like u went back to school again to actually wise up some more.
So let me get this straight. We Americans now put our President in the same league as a gang rapper? WTH is wrong with America today. The President should behave unlike the average Joe. He should be well mannered, mentally sharp, smart, brave, patriotic and Politically correct. This is ridiculous.
pquin77 The second thing never actually happened, but fair enough. I enjoy the fact that Trump bucks political correctness and doesn't try to be nice to every other country, but he needs to remember that sometimes playing nice brings about better results.
Don Lemon is a jerk. After watching him cut guests off time after time after time on his show, if I were her, I would have refused to appear on his show. Don Lemon is only interested in guests who support his narrative. He's not interested in the truth. When he does bring someone on who brings up facts (or opinions) that contradict him, he either does his best to (attempt to) make them look stupid, or (if he realizes that he's looking stupid) he talks over them or terminates the interview. He calls himself a journalist? Give me a break. A true journalist listens to both sides and doesn't try to control what they say or cut them off.
M Martin Are you kidding me?! Who wants to hear bullshit... Do what your teachers, and professors ( if you went to college) always tell you when you are debating... stay on the subject!
Desertstorm, please do me a favor and read the CNN banner shown on the video. Cary - "This is about ABC" Don Lemon - "This is about Roseanne" It seems to me Cary was right, looking at that banner. Perhaps both you and Don Lemon need to work on your reading comprehension skills. The first thing she did was to condemn the comment. Then she proceeded to point out ABC's double standard. What did you think they were debating? Whether or not racism is evil? There's no debate there They all agree on that. What IS debateable, is whether or not ABC treated Roseanne fairly despite her immediate apology, since they have given a pass to others, including Wanda Sykes, who said we elected an orangutan. So it's okay to make fun of our President's looks, but not okay to make fun of Valerie Jarrett's looks, who, by the way, Roseanne didn't know was black. Double standard much?
M Martin Let’s get one thing straight my reading comprehension skills are fine. Second I understand your point HOWEVER, there is no comparison Rosanne calling Valerie a ape a name blacks were called By whites to dehumanize them. What she said was disgusting and vile. She’s not sorry she tried to blame everything and everybody of her racism and mad she was caught and put on blast so stop it because there is no double standards with ABC. Now I’m not gonna go back and forth with you on this. I don’t always agree with Don but in that segment I did.....
We can no longer add context and precedent to a discussion? What the hell are you supposed to say to put things in perspective then? There's a reason our courts use precedent to decide their rulings. If you remove the ability to speak about anything but the single act of this woman then there's nothing left to discuss because we all already know what happened with Roseanne.
BGL500 George The media goes back to Hillary Clinton all the time. Roseanne’s comment was ridiculously offensive. So was Hillary Clinton’s deplorables comment. Trump... well, he lives for sensational and provocative tweets that upend people’s feelings. I don’t entirely disagree with Don but, as annoying as she is, she isn’t out of line for trying to point out an obvious double standard.
museblock She said half Trump supporters are deplorable. No mention of race, physical appearance or any other incontrolable variable. Had roseanne said, half Clinton supporters are idiots, I doubt it would have been that much of a problem. There is no double standard. Jemelle Hill was fired after *insulting the president by the same parent company that fired Roseanne.* You're all weak and love playing the victim.
I get where you're coming from. Here in Canada the current government keeps blaming the previous government for everything and it is getting very tired. Start taking responsibility for yourself and your own mistakes and stop deflecting. Other than that I still hate Don Lemon and his bullshit interrupting people, let them finish speaking Don!
OMG Don is so annoying. Ask a question...don't let guest answer, then ask the same question again...and don't let the guest answer, then ask a third time and cut the guest off before she can get 1 single word out. Smh
She was literally saying the same thing the entire time and she had no actual input on the Roseanne issue at hand apart from 'hey what about this thing that happened a year ago'. She was flooding the zone with whataboutism - that's why he was shutting it down.
No, she was trying to illustrate a double standard to put Rosanne's comment into perspective. Several times, she was interrupted without even getting a single word out, he'd ask a question then talk over her on her first syllable. This isn't a left or right issue, it's just rude and annoying. You have a guest, then you bully the guest. She did condemn Rosanne's tweet. But she is there to expound upon it. Otherwise the news would read "Rosanne tweeted XYZ....Everyone hated it and it was racist...She was fired. Next story." She was invited to presumably give an opinion. Her opinion was to look at the situation in a broader light. Don didn't want to hear about liberal hypocrisy so he shut it down in a rude and annoying way. Rather than let her make a point and then adding a counterpoint, he just bullied her instead.
She said that she disliked it as a qualifier to say exactly the same tangential point over and over again - when the other republican pointed out exactly what people shouldnt be doing, she went back to saying the exact same thing she was saying earliar. Liberal hypocrisy?? Many of her examples and the examples that have been used for this talking point are wrong - as in if you look at the examples specifically they do not uphold the argument. Please watch the clip where she was referring to joy behar - ua-cam.com/video/BADjfaxhgOE/v-deo.html .. It is so very different based on context and the manner which she were saying it - to act as if these are illustrative of the same level of hate and bigotry is disingenuious and fake. Kathy Griffin has been blacklisted by a lot of production houses and media in general for what she did - it's a lie of epic proportion to act like everyone in the mainstream media didnt condemn it and there werent real life consequences for her. That is cherry picking and hypocrisy. When that comedian said all those things at the correspondence dinner, it was the 'liberal media' that took issue with it and called it out along with the republicans and their media. Also, 'rappers say bad things too' is a ridiculous point.
Sam you are COMPLETELY missing my point. I commented on Don's treatment of his guest. Not on the points she was trying to make. He didn't just disagree with her, which would have been fine. He acted like an ass. Look at his mannerisms, tone, facial expressions and bullying by quick firing questions then interrupting her before she could answer his question. He is completely unprofessional and it is annoying to watch. You can try and defend him all you want but it's not a professional and respectful way to address someone. He comes off as a complete jerk.
Don lemon interview like a high school kid..what's that got to do with ..blaha bla...making faces.....let her explain. What Roseanne said was a joke in her opinion...but not funny according to today's melodramatic atmosphere.. what this lady is trying to say is how come don lemon is not as upset when other said terrible things. Just be fare that's all. When Bahar compared Christianity to mental illness...did they cancel the show? Can we all take a chill pill please .
It's amazing, how people put in writing on the computer for the world to see, some crazy sht, especially jokes and expect not any backlash? I still can't believe people don't actually step back from the computer and say "maybe this is a bad idea"." I will get the joke, but the world won't." They still haven't got it yet. Now hundreds of people are out of a job, because of one little sentence. lol It's crazy man
It's annoying for an anchor to keep his guests on topic? I know over at fox news, they let them talk about whatever they want. But here in CNN, we try to stick to the topic at hand and not divert and reflect on unrelated issues.
Samuel Lavon - I'm not a Trump supporter what so ever. I didn't vote for Trump and I hope he gets impeached as soon as the FBI finishes collecting all the evidence. I agree Trump is racist. I agree Trump is lying about many things. But still Carrie's point in the video above was that "OTHERS" got away with worst and were not condemned because they were liberal or black. That is not "OK".
Samuel Lavon - Her point is not "invalid". You are the one now bringing up "Trump" which is a different person than "Rosanne" so you're using the same EXACT logic that Carrie Sheffield was using. Carrie Sheffield's point was that NOBODY is exempt from punishment. This is EXACTLY what you are saying in your comment. So actually you agree 100% with Carrie Sheffield.
don lemon is wrong i understand he wants to stay on topic but let her speak her peace and if you believe she is getting off subject than just say that and continue with the other guy who is speaking on the subject but to just behave like a bully cause its your show is wrong. i did not like how she try to spin it but she atleast neeeds to be heard since she is giving her time there. and i think we a grown enough to defend ourself if don lemon thinks we are some dumb viewers that dont see what she is trying to do than he is wrong. cause we see it. don has lately been getting on my nerve i think he is a cool dude but bro relax and get off your high horse. just chill. we see what trump followers are doing.
Yeah well you can say that, but don has to deal with people who pivot , reflect, deflect, 24 hours a day so i'm guessing it gets really old. Imagine trying to have a conversation with Kellyanne Conway. Her every breath is deflection so i can kinda understand why Don is standing firm with sticking to the topic.
They did tell her she was off topic, actually most of the show was just that, even over her interrupting & raising her voice above everyone else. Even her fellow Rep, Rick Wilson @ 5:12 was telling her this. She just nodded then interrupted & started up again. The vid is less than 8 minutes, thats 2 1/2 min per person to talk. Maybe if they had an hour or more or days then they could talk about everything else but, but it isnt. A show only has so much air time and this one was spent trying to keep her on the topic. Everyone and anyone can use the whataboutism on any topic, but a limited air time show is NOT the place for that. Because of her insistance to stay off topic, the actual topic was not really discussed. Maybe that was her intention all along?
You realize he has to deal with these pivots daily. You might call it a slip in professionalism, but at the end of the day he is cutting off the bs before it picks up steam. Don't forget he has had to deal with Kelly Anne, Paris, and cats like Cory Lewendowski just these last 2 years. And whoever else before that.
@cmike Yes!! I saw an interview with Kellyanne & I just about wanted to rip my hair out! Then I thought better yet why not her hair instead! I understand she is a professional deflector & liar but OMG with every breathe?? My previous post above yours was actually a reply to @Andres Garcia. I dont blame Don or even Rick for that matter on how the discussion went on their end. I deal daily with diehard trumpers whose only reason for life is to belittle the lefts and blame/deflect everything on either Hillary and or Dems and drag everything out. Cheers!
Thanks for pointing the constant interruption towards Carrie. I don't enjoy most news stations bc the hosts often interrupt guests whose opinions they don't agree with. I'm a college student and have witnessed firsthand professors shutting down students if they have a more conservative view. WRONG!!!! Truly educated ppl inform themselves w various viewpoints
People are sick of guess avoiding the questions, spinning their narrative & comparing issues to those they disagree with. She can't admit racism is wrong but make every attempt to point fingers away from hid question. Don is being fair. She shouldn't be on the air if she won't answer simple questions.
lightbeing1980 but graphic says that abc cancels Roseanne so when she said why is the conservative fired and not the liberal at abc it is a actual argument but he even interrupts her then
casper191985 exept the part where she says why is abc taking a show from a conservative for a stupid remark and not the liberal that made a stupid remake but you wouldnt hear that because she was being talked over
Drea L was there something you would rather have her say, to take responsibility for Roseann's tweets? There is a double standard. The idea that there is a double standard in the media can coexist in the same mind as the idea that Roseann is disgusting. Just because she wants to point out the double standard, does not mean she is somehow siding with Roseann. Although.... Who knows? I didn't get to hear her finish her thoughts. Roseann is a pig. I think we all knew that when she obliterated the national anthem years ago.
I did not realize conservatives were not seen as caring about racism though. But I live in a Canadian bubble, and conservatives that I know don't like racism. I will 100% agree that to bring up other topics solely to distract from Roseann is lame. I don't think the point was for her to dilute Rosanne's behavior, I think she wanted to start a dialogue that called out all racism/sexism etc. I never saw it that way (as her drawing attn away from Roseanne to get Roseanne off the hook), and maybe you are right and the double standard issue -- which is definitely real --- should wait until a later date?? I have always thought it to be very disrespectful when people discuss gun laws in the news on the same day as a mass shooting. So your prob right here, and it would be better to show compassion to anyone hurt by these comments etc than to call out all racism etc in society. Mostly, I wish she had been allowed to talk because truthfully Don Lemon distracted everyone from the issue at hand, ironically by emphatically demanding she stick to the issue at hand! Unfortunately, the racism issue never was addressed in this piece, although there were a lot of demands to stick to the issue. Don Lemon probably could have made a more clear demonstration of the current Roseann issue just by simply allowing the dialogue to unfold naturally. If this lady (sorry I am too lazy to even remind myself what her name is) was headed down a path of making excuses etc as some people believe then just let her speak and destroy herself!
Rick Wilson completely on the money here. And then she replies by saying 'racism is disgusting, but you know what else is disgusting?...' Shows just shouldn't invite these people on - it's all straight from the Kellyanne playbook.
coffeeslurper30 Well they asked her questions and she didn't answer them she literally brought up Hillary Clinton out of no where... If you can't see how she was distracting from the actual issue then I got no hope for you son.
Lol she's like "let's forgive everyone, we can forgive everyone we can forgive the president.... butwhatabout butwhatabout butwhatabout butwhatabout butwhatabout..." So did you forgive them and move on too, like you did with trump?
Good work, Don Lemon for being a bulldog on this. This "yeah, but..." or 'whataboutism" is commonly used to avoid accountability for one's actions.Many Conservatives will defend this woman who tried to use it here. Much respect to Rick Wilson for showing the difference between a "Conservative" and a "right-wing Conservative".
hmm ok if Roseanne is redeemable, then what about Kathy Griffin? Jay-Z is a rapper and not a political figure and his music is not forced on people, you have to seek out his music
Sheffield’s deflection is typical, as is taking others down with you, when accused, rather than owning it and taking responsibility. Deflect, Deflect, Deflect some more.
Lol! Great article about white women weaponising their tears www.awesomelyluvvie.com/2018/04/weaponizing-white-women-tears.html I do feel bad for her tho'
The girl makes a good point and Lemon wants to tie her hands by saying that her examples of double standards are illegitimate. At one point Lemon appears to threaten to walk off the show. Then the other guy says to her "it's special" this case, which seems hyppcritical to me. These people cannot stand to have fair debate because their emotions are getting the best of them-- which seems to interfere with their ability to reason.
Zephy Emerson that's the exact reason why it's divided. Bcuz the good ol boys are upset that a black man took a spot that was coveted by white men. So they put a buffoon in the seat in order to cause discord and bring Jim Crow area surroundings back
I think we spilt the Country up. Certain cities only liberals and certain cities only conservatives. It will make it a lot nicer. We wouldn’t be in a war in our own land. It would keep us from heading there. The country will fall if the people stay as divided. We are no longer a Country United.
Exactly! Allnthey do is complain, complain, and be hypocrites! They're the ones using the n word, they're the one always playing the race card and further dividing this nation!
MyEpiphany430 Trump supporters are either complete idiots or complete racists but most likely both. We have a moron in office because morons like you continue to support him.
I love that he slammed her immediately on the "whataboutism" bullshit. Every TV interviewer/ newsperson needs to do this, every single time.
eric stanke he shut her down because he knows she's right. He knows he has no proper defense to her factual statements. Don't ignore the elephant in the room. He was unprofessional and a coward for that. Enough with the cherry picking of what's moral or not.
"This person did the wrong thing so my people can do the wrong thing". What a stupid ass argument
Dragon1717 thats why you keep thinking you won the argument. Because you are too illiterate to know that you are wrong, and possess an unhealthy amount of pride mixed with the belief that you and your side can never be proven wrong.
What she does is called a logical fallacy. Specifically speaking, false equivalence and whataboutism, with a tad of ad hominem.
Thats why its impossible to argue with you people. You wont look that up or educate yourself; and declare your side the winner. So exhausting.
@dave joy behar said horrible things about Christianity and she WAS and IS employed by ABC. you're in the wrong.
All through CNN's coverage of this tempest in a teapot, the various news hosts, notably Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon, have been deliberately trying to link Roseanne's words to President Trump, when he had nothing to do with what she said. So it's a bit rich to see dandy Don getting his panties in a twist over Carrie's equating this to leftwing personalities' vile comments, when all she is trying to do is show the blatant double standard that exists with you leftists.
Hillary Clinton!! Wow, that didn't take long. About 10 seconds and 2 sentences....
attack everyone distract from the actual issue its the kellyanne conway formula
Silly Anne's younger sister, Dilly Ann.
his viewers are stupid.. he himself said so!! and they are too stupid to even realize it!!! Lmao !! he said he didn't want to hear her opinion cause he basically doesn't want hos viewers to automatically agree with whoever is speaking at the time like the sheep they are hahaha
He asked her a question, then shut her down because he didn’t like how she was answering it. Why even have her on if he isn’t going to allow her to answer his question? He doesn’t have to agree with her answer, but he needs to let her give it before he shuts it down.
Carrie made me dumber.
With Carrie, you just can't fix stupid! She is a disgrace.
Timmy Hodman omg that’s a funny comment😂😂😂
I'm embarrassed to share her name. :(
You dumber?...impossible LOL
If people like her have children then there's no future.
But..but..Hillary! Benghazi! Emails!
They're stuck in first'' blame Hillary'' Gear again . SMH.
PIZZZZZZAGATEEEEEE ! (lol) These people are f n crazy...
Ray
They were telling where the WMD's are
texas thunder - Roseanne Barr intended to make a malicious statement, and now she's paying the price for it. Unfortunately, many other people are paying the price for it, as well. That speaks to her selfishness and/or mental instability.
Tsinat Gebreselassie she knows it. Why wouldn't she? She also knows she was born in Iran and said she wants to make America more like Iran. The same Iran that says 'death to America ', murders women under shria law, practices child rape as a cultural norm, is openly racist as a cultural norm, practices homosexuality as a cultural norm but then turns around to condemn the practice based on flamboyant behavior. She knows who she is. Clearly you don't.
😂😂😂 called her on her crap IMMEDIATELY!! LOL it's about time. Like for #NoMoreWhatabouts
Don was not having it...
Either was a guy Don stuck his finger to
Did she just say Hillary Clinton 😣, what does Jay-Z have to do with this and what did he say about women please tell me? What college did this lady go to DeVry
no but i did
Mike Baggs kellyann conway's school of deflection.
Liberty University probably
We’ll listen, and you’ll see what she means. Just like Don, cut them off before they make a point.
Well how could she explain when you got don lemon cutting her off when he don't like what he hears. A total bitch move you ask me. Typical libitard .
This is sort of the plan... while not all conservatives are doing this, MOST hardcore Trump supporters tend to fall back on blame shifting... shifting the blame to someone else moves the discussion away from them and they hope that will end the discussion. More media people should call these people out on their bullshit.
E.A. Castro exactly. I agree
It's worst then that, conservatives do this because they know a news segment has a limited amount of time before going to commercial, so they waste time by talking about other people and topics to leave viewers with whatever they claim as news versus the issue they came to discuss.
E.A. Castro Media people? What u mean all these fake news organizations that have proven they have an agenda and its not a good one unless of course your a soulless Democrat then come on in everyone take my land and destroy my country
Well that is your perspective. Coming from a conservative it’s more like there have been many questionable actions by those in gov but yet the spot light is only on republicans. That seems very one sided. And on purpose. It’s a valiant argument but liberals don’t want to hear it.
Lmao... Didn't take long for her to bring up Hillary..
Lol... Now jay z..
Omg the trumpists are getting more desperate by the day...
Kenny you’re losing and in denial. If you feel hopeless now, wait and see how you feel when the red wave hits. It’s coming
BUILD THE WALL
one way or the other Mexico will pay, aid will be cut, a tax on money the Mex's send to Mexico, the cheap goods they sent to the U S, lots of ways they will pay, lots of ways to make em pay
Enjoy Rosie O'Donnels neutral comments, suckboy. Rosie O'Donnell is hawking handmade anti-Trump art, which she says she'll continue crafting until the president “is out.”
thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/375078-rosie-odonnells-anti-trump-art-selling-out-on-etsy
Lol. Look at the triggered Trump supporters....😃😄😅😂🤣😲😵☠😇
Gay NEWS for the angry gays
A lot of people say Don should’ve let her talk! The showtime is limited and you can’t tackle a hundred problems at the same time! The show was about Roseanne’s tweet not anyone else!
God damn, Hilary, Jay ZEEEE, ABC, and Madona made Roseanne do it. I know we would get a reasonable excuse.
She is never going to get it. Stop wasting your time and kick her out of the show and never bring her back.
The second you don't want to be open to conversation with those people even if they still don't get it. You turn into these idiots.
That's why you can never win an argument with a woman... Logic goes out the door. It's a waste of time
ABC Absolutely Batshit Crazy News. Lets call it what it is. Spade a spade. I'm fine with Lemon and his approach on this, but Lemon and his show and ABC for the most part are never honest about other issues. They go as far as to fabricate breaking news stories like Treyvon Martin. NBC did it too. These are simply companies that use legal loopholes to mislead less educated people on purpose. But hey if you watch bullshit it's kind of your fault for being dooped.
CLOWN CHUMP tick tock tick tock look who's still in office moron..lol
Absolutely true. This is my point exactly. It's one thing to be conservative and republican. It's quite another to be completely ignorant.
Once more, a fantastic Don Lemon! What a great journalist! Thank you Don!
He sucks.
yes way to not let her answer the questions you brought her on to answer. so great, Liberal IQ's has to be below 80.
oposkainaxei journalist? Lololol
The hate needs to stop being passed back and forth. It needs to just stop.
Joshua Parks it will never stop trust me these people just love to say shit then pass the buck kmdt
Josh...trust me with shows like this on tv, everything said will be exploded. Lemon passes more hate with his show each night than just about anyone.
Well that's not going to stop until Jesus stops it. Psalm 37:10, Revelation 20:1-3.
Joshua Parks As soon as White people stop...
Joshua Parks the truth is?
It actually needs to escalate.
These arguements, the way we are disagreeing, does it remind you of anything? It does me.
It reminds me of the civil war and the infighting that constantly raged on in those times.
It's like a live damn history movie.
If it keeps going like this, something horrible, something nightmarish, is the only option left.
It will either start in fire, or it will end in it.
is it Punxsatawney Hillary or something? "but Obama ... but Hillary's emails ..." ... Trump supporters just talk about the same unrelated stuff every day, while todays news, or facts, means nothing to them. what rabbithole are we going down
Dave S so true.
OMG this chick is proving how wacked these people are. Spin and bend and go over and under. Jeeze
Michael Anderson the topic and the issue in this case was Roseanne and what she said. Those other things may be valid however they were not the issue here. This is deflection plan & simple. Both sides do it but this was a bit excessive.
Michael Anderson well I think he was trying to keep he on topic which I personally appreciate and actually wish was done more again on both sides. The whole answering what they want to say instead of the actual question makes me crazy and yell at the screen ☺️
It's just ridiculous!!! Stay on the damn topic! Why is that so hard??
i think that they think that they are being clever and redirecting the topic away from what it was supposed to be to dodge questions.
They both agreed on the topic about racism being bad. So what was Don trying to get out of her or the conversation ?
I love you Don. ❤️
You are truly awesome.
Omg Don should have let her finish. In a debate both parties get a chance to speak. There is lots of hypocrisy on both sides. Especially the MEDIA!!!
Jay-Z??????
Way to go Don and I'm not even a fan. He brought it back to the President since she even blamed Jay Z.
You may remember (if you are old enough) Jesse Jackson calling New York Hymie-town and Judaism a gutter religion. Blacks can be bigots too.
svjim1 I’m just going to shed light. If you want to come access as racist. Continue using the word “blacks” please at least use “black people” so your opinion is comprehended without you sounding prejudice. God bless! And have a great night 👍🏾
I noticed no one commented on what svjim1 was saying. They just attacked his comment. Even one idiot was basicly saying blacks could say anything they want because of past history.
Noey Tindol she didn't blame Jayz. She used examples of ppl who made racist/sexist comments to no consequence yet Rosanne is the exception apparently because she is not liberal. It is true.
Moni Payne what's racist about saying "blacks"? Now that word is racist too? 😮 People whites all the time. So what
CNN is to blame for booking this woman and people like her on their channel. Carrie was always going to talk about Hilary. She always finds a way. There's an entire roster of TV personalities that are on deck to muddy the waters for every controversy and CNN uses the majority of them regularly. Thanks to Don Lemon for calling her on it immediately and not allow her to get going to hijack the entire segment.
She tried to talk about other people at ABC but he was afraid to let her make her point because he knew she was in the right.
wildturkey3776 Listen...if she didnt come on to talk about Rosanne which was the subject...Dont come on the show. Stop making excuses for her trying to hijack the show.
They have to bring others on the show that don't fully agree with them to show they are not bias.
rashaun0422 Sure..they can bring better more rational people however. CNN likes their segments to go off the rails as they are looking for the trainwreck.
truth & reality/real world should trump perceived "bias" that's where news has gone wrong!
You know what she’s doing. Why are you inviting her on?! There are plenty of conservatives who don’t just say what the money machine wants.
Carrie Sheffield when asked about the volcanic eruptions in Hawaii, "Hillary Clinton could have done more but she is redeemable."
ozzrob , We HAVE ALL BEEN REDEEMED OF SIN BY CHRIST FOR 2,000+ YEARS NOW....ITS TIME YALL REALIZED THIS.. NOT A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS PLANETS HAS NOT COMMITTED ENOUGH SIN THAT IF HELL WHERE REAL( which there is no fire and brimstone underworld) EVERYONE WOULD BE THERE. THIS IS THE GREATEST DECEPTION OUT THERE. WHY DO YOU THINK JESUS LET THE ROMANS CRUCIFIX HIM.... THE LAMB HAS BEEN SACRIFICED,, THE LION OF JUDAH HAS BEEN AWAKE ALONG TIME NOW FOLKS, IT IS TIME FOR HISTORY TO WRAP UP AND HERSTOY TO BEGIN!!!!
Don got her all the way together..☕
She's acting as though some kind of umbrella government-like power stopped Roseanne's show and administrates all things: "if [x] goes, then [y] should go". Strange thinking for a conservative; surely she should understand that individual companies have the right to choose what's acceptable to them in each case because it's their money.
Why bring on a conservative commentator in the first place??
hahaahaha. This comment is exactly what is wrong with America.
Jay Z? Lol #reaching
The tRump supporters are desperate. She's throwing everybody under the bus 😂
Dam ...Dom L regulating ...!

But her emails.....her EMAILS
Tasha Vladimiroff It's all they have....its pitiful
"Fire them son of a bitches!!!!!!!!!"
When Hillary passes her tombstone will read 'Hillary Rodham Clinton and those fucking e-mails'
K Paterson real pitiful.
it's GROUUUUNDHOGGG DAAAYYYY... again :(
I'm a liberal, but I actually think the woman is right here. Everyone should be treated equally and there does seem to be a double standard.
But Hillary... but Hillary...
CNN, doesn't matter how much you pay Carrie Sheffield, you deserve refund.... 😼
Why? She's doing exactly what CNN wants.
It’s about Roseanne, and her choice to Twitter racists stuff. I won’t miss her at all.
'Deplorable' is not the same as 'unredeemable'. One can quite confidently state that a deplorable person is no longer deplorable once they redeem themselves. However, it's also true that they are still deplorable until they redeem themselves. That's simple logic. Something that seems to be in short supply to those professing the Repugnant religion.
She's about as 'conservative' as dRumpf is. Which is to say not much at all...
They didnt let Carrie say anything because they know she was right..... Double standards as usual.
D Dee She was right to bring up Hillary Clinton out of no where?
"Bill Maher used the 'N" word".. I'm tempted to use the 'C' word .. what a thing that woman is
Bill Maher used the N word to make point about racism. Most blacks were not offended by him, in fact, took his side. Bill Maher is a person known to be anti-racist. But he still apologized.
Ms Sandhu not really ice cube called him out on it right away
Ms Sandhu one leads to the other.
"Fire them son of a bitches!!!!!!!!!"
Freedom of speech but not freedom from consequences. Be gone and be forgotten Roseanne.
Omg I just wanted her to shut up or stay on the topic... that made my head hurt.
Don is dropping gemssssssssssssssssss
Epic fail Carrie. BYE!
"Don't feel sorry for me guys" don't worry Roseanne I don't.
Why. Have. Her. On!
Wow Don, way to treat your guest. I would have walked off.
Tell the guest answer the question that was asked not all that other dumb shit she talkin f.o.h
FREEDOM OF SPEECH SOMETIMES COMES WITH A PRICE... JUST IMAGINE IF EVERYONE SPOKE WHAT IS ON THEIR MIND THE EMPLOYMENT LINES WOULD BE UNBEARABLE.
breaker-----------you mean like the fool in the W H ! you idiot !
WHAT THE!!!!
It's called being civilized, are you really that ignorant.
Peter J. Donnelly
Ms Breaker to you... There is nothing idiotic about me.
I was just raised to be respectful to people , even if their views differ from mine.
Well done Rick Wilson for trying to shut this women up.
It's sad when two adults have to talk to you like you're a misbehaving child, because you're so dishonest, you have to be called out.
Though, I will add here that "whataboutism" is a problem on both general sides of the aisle, on every news network.
I've seen a few moments from even Lemon one could call "whataboutism." Ironically, when it comes to people like Roseanne, and then you get the immediate topic of how Trump enables it. If the topic's Roseanne, let it be Roseanne.
That only fuels more from others, with one-up-manship. It's why I can't stand this silly political gamut of "liberal" and "conservative." People generally tend to proselytize their general stances, rather than talk about the topic at hand.
Granted, conservatives are taking the cake in this stuff, following Trump's lead of employing every manner of dishonest antic under the sun. Even a few conservatives like Rick Wilson and Ana Navarro can recognize the problem.
Today, it was Carrie Sheffield. Tomorrow, well, let's be honest--it'll most likely be another Trump-supporting conservative.
But I wouldn't be surprised if it's some liberal equivalent somewhere in the media, exhibiting this same kind of fallacy, just because it's easier for people in media to appeal to people's emotion, than to keep one's reason straight and honest.
Pointing out Hypocrisy and Selective Outrage from the Far Left is "misbehaving"? One more reason you morons lost the election.
😂😂😂 Yas bitch! 🙌🏻
who are you talking about? there's 3 people there.....you need to be clear.
Thaz How Far Left? Rick Wilson is a Republican strategist. This comment alone is indicative that no one ought to give any of your comments any weight.
I've appreciated Rick Wilson and Don Lemon for quite a while now but being reminded of this moment... Respect +100 to both for not taking the bait but continuing to take the stick to the real problem.
Divert divert divert.Carrie is just another "alternative fact" Trumpette who twists / diverts instead of facing the real issue.Like Trump she has the childish smirk that says f... ya'all we are in power haha ignoring the upcoming elections.
Rick Wilson is spot on and you can tell by his voice a genuine guy
"When it is, it is - let's call it out." Damn right, exactly. Call them out.
Every single time, from the president to the county level. Call them out on their BS.
It's 2018, time's up on many levels.
which is what Carrie was saying
Except she's not doing it. Talk is cheap u kno.
It's very hypocritical to call out 1 person and cause several hundred people involved in the show to all lose their jobs (including several black actors who were on the "Rosanne" show who lost their jobs), but then nobody calls out the other people doing EXACTLY the same thing (or WORST!), like Madonna, Jimmy Kimmel, JZ, etc.. etc.. etc..
First off, liking your own comment before others even read it is pretty lame. Secondly WHAT in the world exactly should even be WORSE than demeaning a whole RACE. You tell me that plz. By the way, people call out a lot these days. But interestingly to me, only conservatives (or at least that's what those trumpists call themselves) seem to often times have a problem when it's fucking RACISM. Why is that? And what's up with that goddam whataboutism all the time, u see something, u say something. Not another thing. Also, those ppl who've lost their job in this are probably the most pissed at Roseanne by the way. It's hypocritical to ignore the reason for all this tbh, which is Roseanne's racism in the first place. And lastly, ya can't spell Jay-Z, can't even spell Roseanne... i bet you also know little about the political system but u're outraged over calling the Roseanne thing what it is, all that also presuming you're white. The world really would be a better place if ppl like u went back to school again to actually wise up some more.
So let me get this straight. We Americans now put our President in the same league as a gang rapper? WTH is wrong with America today. The President should behave unlike the average Joe. He should be well mannered, mentally sharp, smart, brave, patriotic and Politically correct. This is ridiculous.
pquin77 I agree with every part of that except being politically correct.
pquin77 The second thing never actually happened, but fair enough. I enjoy the fact that Trump bucks political correctness and doesn't try to be nice to every other country, but he needs to remember that sometimes playing nice brings about better results.
Calvin_Coolage Yeah it's situational in my point of view. But regardless he must choose his words better. I agree with you too, he got balls.
pquin77 I agree. Diplomacy has it's value.
Don shut that down. Whatism????
Why is it OK to publicly compare Trump to an orangutan, but not this?!
This is selective outrage at it's finest.
i dont think you understand what racism truly is. look up SYSTEMATIC RACISM, its a term taught in almost all sociology classes in the USA.
Don Lemon is a jerk. After watching him cut guests off time after time after time on his show, if I were her, I would have refused to appear on his show. Don Lemon is only interested in guests who support his narrative. He's not interested in the truth. When he does bring someone on who brings up facts (or opinions) that contradict him, he either does his best to (attempt to) make them look stupid, or (if he realizes that he's looking stupid) he talks over them or terminates the interview. He calls himself a journalist? Give me a break. A true journalist listens to both sides and doesn't try to control what they say or cut them off.
M Martin Amen!!
M Martin Are you kidding me?! Who wants to hear bullshit... Do what your teachers, and professors ( if you went to college) always tell you when you are debating... stay on the subject!
Desertstorm, please do me a favor and read the CNN banner shown on the video.
Cary - "This is about ABC"
Don Lemon - "This is about Roseanne"
It seems to me Cary was right, looking at that banner. Perhaps both you and Don Lemon need to work on your reading comprehension skills. The first thing she did was to condemn the comment. Then she proceeded to point out ABC's double standard. What did you think they were debating? Whether or not racism is evil? There's no debate there They all agree on that. What IS debateable, is whether or not ABC treated Roseanne fairly despite her immediate apology, since they have given a pass to others, including Wanda Sykes, who said we elected an orangutan. So it's okay to make fun of our President's looks, but not okay to make fun of Valerie Jarrett's looks, who, by the way, Roseanne didn't know was black. Double standard much?
M Martin Let’s get one thing straight my reading comprehension skills are fine. Second I understand your point HOWEVER, there is no comparison Rosanne calling Valerie a ape a name blacks were called By whites to dehumanize them. What she said was disgusting and vile. She’s not sorry she tried to blame everything and everybody of her racism and mad she was caught and put on blast so stop it because there is no double standards with ABC. Now I’m not gonna go back and forth with you on this.
I don’t always agree with Don but in that segment I did.....
M Martin Someone Please punch him in his mouth. What a prick Don Lemon is. Can't believe CNN allows his to act in such an arrogant way.
Rick Wilson is the MAN. I don’t care if he’s a conservative,he is right on point about his views on trump.
We can no longer add context and precedent to a discussion? What the hell are you supposed to say to put things in perspective then? There's a reason our courts use precedent to decide their rulings. If you remove the ability to speak about anything but the single act of this woman then there's nothing left to discuss because we all already know what happened with Roseanne.
Would another woman please smack Carrie Sheffield since I'm not allowed to?
Bor Solo I'll do it!
I got you
Bor Solo after you find another man to bust Lemonhead
HOW IN THE HELL DID SHE BRING CHRISTIANITY INTO THIS, HOW!
Hillary ,Jay z, Madonaa lol she is clawless 🤣@Don is awesome
They probably cancelled it easily because it had low ratings. The racist stuff just made it easier.
Her point is valid, but doesn't fit their narrative. End of discussion.
Carrie how about dem emails? I'm sure it also has to do with those damn pesky emails! :)
Omg this woman is so thick. Please don't have these sorts of people on your show. Always going back to Hillary Clinton. Omg!!!
BGL500 George The media goes back to Hillary Clinton all the time. Roseanne’s comment was ridiculously offensive. So was Hillary Clinton’s deplorables comment. Trump... well, he lives for sensational and provocative tweets that upend people’s feelings. I don’t entirely disagree with Don but, as annoying as she is, she isn’t out of line for trying to point out an obvious double standard.
museblock
She said half Trump supporters are deplorable. No mention of race, physical appearance or any other incontrolable variable.
Had roseanne said, half Clinton supporters are idiots, I doubt it would have been that much of a problem.
There is no double standard. Jemelle Hill was fired after *insulting the president by the same parent company that fired Roseanne.*
You're all weak and love playing the victim.
I get where you're coming from. Here in Canada the current government keeps blaming the previous government for everything and it is getting very tired. Start taking responsibility for yourself and your own mistakes and stop deflecting.
Other than that I still hate Don Lemon and his bullshit interrupting people, let them finish speaking Don!
Jack Olaf but trump and his supporters like you are deplorable.
big gummy
Perhaps next time, read more carefully instead? You only prove idiocy is not exclusive to any particular world view.
Why doesn't he just let her get her point out ? He's irritating as hell.
OMG Don is so annoying. Ask a question...don't let guest answer, then ask the same question again...and don't let the guest answer, then ask a third time and cut the guest off before she can get 1 single word out. Smh
She was literally saying the same thing the entire time and she had no actual
input on the Roseanne issue at hand apart from 'hey what about this thing that happened a year ago'. She was flooding the zone with whataboutism - that's why he was shutting it down.
No, she was trying to illustrate a double standard to put Rosanne's comment into perspective. Several times, she was interrupted without even getting a single word out, he'd ask a question then talk over her on her first syllable. This isn't a left or right issue, it's just rude and annoying. You have a guest, then you bully the guest. She did condemn Rosanne's tweet. But she is there to expound upon it. Otherwise the news would read "Rosanne tweeted XYZ....Everyone hated it and it was racist...She was fired. Next story." She was invited to presumably give an opinion. Her opinion was to look at the situation in a broader light. Don didn't want to hear about liberal hypocrisy so he shut it down in a rude and annoying way. Rather than let her make a point and then adding a counterpoint, he just bullied her instead.
She said that she disliked it as a qualifier to say exactly the same tangential point over and over again - when the other republican pointed out exactly what people shouldnt be doing, she went back to saying the exact same thing she was saying earliar. Liberal hypocrisy?? Many of her examples and the examples that have been used for this talking point are wrong - as in if you look at the examples specifically they do not uphold the argument. Please watch the clip where she was referring to joy behar - ua-cam.com/video/BADjfaxhgOE/v-deo.html .. It is so very different based on context and the manner which she were saying it - to act as if these are illustrative of the same level of hate and bigotry is disingenuious and fake. Kathy Griffin has been blacklisted by a lot of production houses and media in general for what she did - it's a lie of epic proportion to act like everyone in the mainstream media didnt condemn it and there werent real life consequences for her. That is cherry picking and hypocrisy. When that comedian said all those things at the correspondence dinner, it was the 'liberal media' that took issue with it and called it out along with the republicans and their media.
Also, 'rappers say bad things too' is a ridiculous point.
Sam stop it please.. You are making too much sense.. Just talk with your emotions and not with your brain, like most republicans do.
Sam you are COMPLETELY missing my point. I commented on Don's treatment of his guest. Not on the points she was trying to make. He didn't just disagree with her, which would have been fine. He acted like an ass. Look at his mannerisms, tone, facial expressions and bullying by quick firing questions then interrupting her before she could answer his question. He is completely unprofessional and it is annoying to watch.
You can try and defend him all you want but it's not a professional and respectful way to address someone. He comes off as a complete jerk.
That's how a trumpublican thinks.
Don lemon interview like a high school kid..what's that got to do with ..blaha bla...making faces.....let her explain. What Roseanne said was a joke in her opinion...but not funny according to today's melodramatic atmosphere.. what this lady is trying to say is how come don lemon is not as upset when other said terrible things. Just be fare that's all. When Bahar compared Christianity to mental illness...did they cancel the show? Can we all take a chill pill please .
She knows what she'e-s talking about! She is not excusing Roseanne' but if you want to punish one, then punish them all!
Lmao classic Hillary Clinton redirect
It's amazing, how people put in writing on the computer for the world to see, some crazy sht, especially jokes and expect not any backlash? I still can't believe people don't actually step back from the computer and say "maybe this is a bad idea"." I will get the joke, but the world won't." They still haven't got it yet. Now hundreds of people are out of a job, because of one little sentence. lol It's crazy man
Carrie Disgrace women.
Hey, no racism’s,it does not exists in good old USA.
Don Lemon... OMG, let people talk and finish their sentence. Annoying and unprofessional.
It's annoying for an anchor to keep his guests on topic? I know over at fox news, they let them talk about whatever they want. But here in CNN, we try to stick to the topic at hand and not divert and reflect on unrelated issues.
Casper, you are in idiot. She's trying to show a double standard
let her show that double standard on her own time, not deflect from the question and topic being asked on don's show..
😂😂😂😂 Lady stick to the topic of Roseanne smh 🤦
Her point was that "OTHERS" got away with worst and were not condemned because they were liberal or black.
Jessica Wall .
Samuel Lavon
- I'm not a Trump supporter what so ever. I didn't vote for Trump and I hope he gets impeached as soon as the FBI finishes collecting all the evidence. I agree Trump is racist. I agree Trump is lying about many things. But still Carrie's point in the video above was that "OTHERS" got away with worst and were not condemned because they were liberal or black. That is not "OK".
Samuel Lavon
- Her point is not "invalid". You are the one now bringing up "Trump" which is a different person than "Rosanne" so you're using the same EXACT logic that Carrie Sheffield was using. Carrie Sheffield's point was that NOBODY is exempt from punishment. This is EXACTLY what you are saying in your comment. So actually you agree 100% with Carrie Sheffield.
Yeah! Stick to OUR cherry picked selective and baised topic! >:)
don lemon is wrong i understand he wants to stay on topic but let her speak her peace and if you believe she is getting off subject than just say that and continue with the other guy who is speaking on the subject but to just behave like a bully cause its your show is wrong. i did not like how she try to spin it but she atleast neeeds to be heard since she is giving her time there. and i think we a grown enough to defend ourself if don lemon thinks we are some dumb viewers that dont see what she is trying to do than he is wrong. cause we see it. don has lately been getting on my nerve i think he is a cool dude but bro relax and get off your high horse. just chill. we see what trump followers are doing.
Yeah well you can say that, but don has to deal with people who pivot , reflect, deflect, 24 hours a day so i'm guessing it gets really old. Imagine trying to have a conversation with Kellyanne Conway. Her every breath is deflection so i can kinda understand why Don is standing firm with sticking to the topic.
They did tell her she was off topic, actually most of the show was just that, even over her interrupting & raising her voice above everyone else. Even her fellow Rep, Rick Wilson @ 5:12 was telling her this. She just nodded then interrupted & started up again. The vid is less than 8 minutes, thats 2 1/2 min per person to talk. Maybe if they had an hour or more or days then they could talk about everything else but, but it isnt. A show only has so much air time and this one was spent trying to keep her on the topic. Everyone and anyone can use the whataboutism on any topic, but a limited air time show is NOT the place for that. Because of her insistance to stay off topic, the actual topic was not really discussed. Maybe that was her intention all along?
You realize he has to deal with these pivots daily. You might call it a slip in professionalism, but at the end of the day he is cutting off the bs before it picks up steam. Don't forget he has had to deal with Kelly Anne, Paris, and cats like Cory Lewendowski just these last 2 years. And whoever else before that.
@cmike Yes!! I saw an interview with Kellyanne & I just about wanted to rip my hair out! Then I thought better yet why not her hair instead! I understand she is a professional deflector & liar but OMG with every breathe??
My previous post above yours was actually a reply to @Andres Garcia. I dont blame Don or even Rick for that matter on how the discussion went on their end. I deal daily with diehard trumpers whose only reason for life is to belittle the lefts and blame/deflect everything on either Hillary and or Dems and drag everything out. Cheers!
Thanks for pointing the constant interruption towards Carrie. I don't enjoy most news stations bc the hosts often interrupt guests whose opinions they don't agree with. I'm a college student and have witnessed firsthand professors shutting down students if they have a more conservative view. WRONG!!!! Truly educated ppl inform themselves w various viewpoints
People are sick of guess avoiding the questions, spinning their narrative & comparing issues to those they disagree with. She can't admit racism is wrong but make every attempt to point fingers away from hid question. Don is being fair. She shouldn't be on the air if she won't answer simple questions.
DOUBLE STANDARD / HYPOCRISY / unprofessional bully. enough said
Trump?
I know. The Carrie lady is crazy. Bringing Jay-z? 😂😂😃😂WTF?!
He needs to let her finish her point. You cant argue a point when you refuse to listen to your opposition.
The "opposition" was off topic. The bottom line is that she lacked an argument based on merits hence the need to deflect.
lightbeing1980 how would you know? They were too busy mansplaining to let her get a word in.
a 2 year old could know CCW.. listen to her, every breath is a pivot or deflection.. no thanks kellyanne conway
lightbeing1980 but graphic says that abc cancels Roseanne so when she said why is the conservative fired and not the liberal at abc it is a actual argument but he even interrupts her then
casper191985 exept the part where she says why is abc taking a show from a conservative for a stupid remark and not the liberal that made a stupid remake but you wouldnt hear that because she was being talked over
Why is she not talking about the main point? Take responsibility!! Stop pointing the other's finger!!
Drea L was there something you would rather have her say, to take responsibility for Roseann's tweets? There is a double standard. The idea that there is a double standard in the media can coexist in the same mind as the idea that Roseann is disgusting. Just because she wants to point out the double standard, does not mean she is somehow siding with Roseann. Although.... Who knows? I didn't get to hear her finish her thoughts. Roseann is a pig. I think we all knew that when she obliterated the national anthem years ago.
I believe the other sh@t conservatives want to bring up is.... racism.
I did not realize conservatives were not seen as caring about racism though. But I live in a Canadian bubble, and conservatives that I know don't like racism. I will 100% agree that to bring up other topics solely to distract from Roseann is lame. I don't think the point was for her to dilute Rosanne's behavior, I think she wanted to start a dialogue that called out all racism/sexism etc. I never saw it that way (as her drawing attn away from Roseanne to get Roseanne off the hook), and maybe you are right and the double standard issue -- which is definitely real --- should wait until a later date?? I have always thought it to be very disrespectful when people discuss gun laws in the news on the same day as a mass shooting. So your prob right here, and it would be better to show compassion to anyone hurt by these comments etc than to call out all racism etc in society. Mostly, I wish she had been allowed to talk because truthfully Don Lemon distracted everyone from the issue at hand, ironically by emphatically demanding she stick to the issue at hand! Unfortunately, the racism issue never was addressed in this piece, although there were a lot of demands to stick to the issue. Don Lemon probably could have made a more clear demonstration of the current Roseann issue just by simply allowing the dialogue to unfold naturally. If this lady (sorry I am too lazy to even remind myself what her name is) was headed down a path of making excuses etc as some people believe then just let her speak and destroy herself!
Rick Wilson completely on the money here. And then she replies by saying 'racism is disgusting, but you know what else is disgusting?...' Shows just shouldn't invite these people on - it's all straight from the Kellyanne playbook.
This interview made me so uncomfortable... why won’t they let her speak!
coffeeslurper30 Well they asked her questions and she didn't answer them she literally brought up Hillary Clinton out of no where... If you can't see how she was distracting from the actual issue then I got no hope for you son.
Lol she's like "let's forgive everyone, we can forgive everyone we can forgive the president.... butwhatabout butwhatabout butwhatabout butwhatabout butwhatabout..."
So did you forgive them and move on too, like you did with trump?
Enkarashaddam But for some reason, Hillary isn't forgivable to them.
Oh yeah! Now I remember why I don't watch CNN.
Boy he hates America and free speech doesn't he?
She should walk off.
Good work, Don Lemon for being a bulldog on this. This "yeah, but..." or 'whataboutism" is commonly used to avoid accountability for one's actions.Many Conservatives will defend this woman who tried to use it here.
Much respect to Rick Wilson for showing the difference between a "Conservative" and a "right-wing Conservative".
Reverse Psychology is a thing.
hmm ok if Roseanne is redeemable, then what about Kathy Griffin? Jay-Z is a rapper and not a political figure and his music is not forced on people, you have to seek out his music
wow that Carrie Sheffield! she´s something else! geez!!!
Sheffield’s deflection is typical, as is taking others down with you, when accused, rather than owning it and taking responsibility. Deflect, Deflect, Deflect some more.
3 people talking and nobody listening.
That poor lady was holding back tears
JGS Music people need to see how crazy they are. So we know what we're up against when we're trying to bring facts.
True
JGS Music Lady?
Yeah the white lady. You could tell she was really starting to feel the pressure lol. It was painful to watch
Lol! Great article about white women weaponising their tears www.awesomelyluvvie.com/2018/04/weaponizing-white-women-tears.html I do feel bad for her tho'
OMg . . that guy was so rude and unprofessional! GAWD who watches CNN anymore?
Carrie Sheffield worked at the Washington Times. Enough said.
Tal Moore The Washington times is rightwing propaganda
The girl makes a good point and Lemon wants to tie her hands by saying that her examples of double standards are illegitimate.
At one point Lemon appears to threaten to walk off the show. Then the other guy says to her "it's special" this case, which seems hyppcritical to me.
These people cannot stand to have fair debate because their emotions are getting the best of them-- which seems to interfere with their ability to reason.
I love how almost without fail how conservatives answer questions with deflection...
The racist can't tell the truth because when you evil you don't care who you hurt because you have know soul
Total double standard. No doubt.
you guys are complete idiots LOL. completely missed the point they were trying to convey in this interview..
Double standard
What's with all this division after all the progress of a black president! It's 2018 not 1960
Zephy Emerson that's the exact reason why it's divided. Bcuz the good ol boys are upset that a black man took a spot that was coveted by white men. So they put a buffoon in the seat in order to cause discord and bring Jim Crow area surroundings back
I think we spilt the Country up. Certain cities only liberals and certain cities only conservatives. It will make it a lot nicer. We wouldn’t be in a war in our own land. It would keep us from heading there. The country will fall if the people stay as divided. We are no longer a Country United.
Scotty Good Roseanne says something racist and you blame liberals. How? Should black people not draw attention to racism? I bet you'd love that.
Exactly! Allnthey do is complain, complain, and be hypocrites! They're the ones using the n word, they're the one always playing the race card and further dividing this nation!
MyEpiphany430 Trump supporters are either complete idiots or complete racists but most likely both. We have a moron in office because morons like you continue to support him.
She has a Doctorate in NOT ANSWERING THE FUKKIN' QUESTION!!
Even if we disagree with people, be reasonable and let them make their point. All you're doing by cutting her off the whole time is validating her.
