For SOME reason, CNN’s Don Lemon decided to stick it to Fox News by spouting out some babble about being “state-run Trump TV” and not covering the FACTS.
FACT CHECK: Don Lemon is full of it.
According to Real Clear Politics:
At the conclusion of a panel discussion on the resignation of White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, CNN host Don Lemon said “Trump supporters” who are watching “state-run” ‘Trump TV,’ referring to FOX News, don’t even know about her departure because the channel is not covering it nor the “White House imploding behind him.”

“I was sitting in my office and was watching all the news channels, right — Trump TV or state-run TV, they’re not even reporting this,” Lemon said Wednesday night. “So, Trump supporters, they don’t even know about these stories, it doesn’t even register, that’s the amazing thing. We cover all of these things every day. The White House imploding behind him, and he’s standing there going, ‘nothing to see here.”
UMMMMMM…. ONLY THAT’S COMPLETE AND UTTER HORSE CRAP.
Whaaaaaaaa????? https://t.co/hZ5Osa3BXX

John Roberts is the Fox News Chief White House Correspondant… by the way.
WE REPORTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES. I REPORTED IT ON NEIL CAVUTO’S SHOW – AND ON THE FIVE. AND AGAIN AT THE TOP OF THE 6PM SHOW. AND WE DID IT AT THE TOP OF THE 7PM SHOW. CLEARLY SOMEONE IS NOT WATCHING FOX, BUT SAYING THEY ARE. https://t.co/Jdci8XRezL

AS IN BEFORE DON LEMON EVEN WENT ON AIR.
CNN’s Don Lemon literally lied to viewers last night by claiming that Fox News didn’t cover the Hope Hicks resignation. @johnrobertsFox first reported it on-air at 4:40 pm and it was covered throughout the evening. https://t.co/fjrLMXrYqH

ABSOLUTELY RIDIC.
Real Clear Politics edited their story to reflect this… but the damage was done. As always.
UPDATE 3/1: FOX News did cover Hope Hicks’ resignation at least 3 times before Lemon’s 10pm show.
White House correspondent John Roberts announced the news on Neil Cavuto’s show.
Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reported the news on Special Report.
The Special Report panel discussed the news.
@donlemon shame on you. Yes, it was reported throughout the day on @Fox and Fox @FoxBusiness news when the story broke. I was watching

Lol they covered it all night. I was getting sick of hearing it. And still today. CNN is a steaming pile of garbage.

By “didn’t cover it” he meant Fox anchors didn’t hyperventilate and foam at the mouth at an opportunity to slam the Trump administration.
