We know that Media Research Center “news analyst” Nicholas Fondacaro is a liar. He also pretends he can read minds as well. Fondacaro huffed in a Jan. 1 post:
Shortly after the United States started to ring in 2020 on Wednesday (and after more than a few drinks), CNN Tonight host Don Lemon announced he had a major New Year’s resolution for the upcoming election year that he wanted people to know about: “lean in harder” and “fight.” Essentially, he was vowing to be more biased in his reporting.
In fact, Lemon said nothing about being more “biased.” He stated that “I’m going to lean in harder. I’m sick of the craziness. So, you thought I was — I went hard in 2019. Watch 2020, baby. There’s more to come. I’m a soldier. I’m ready to fight.” Fondacaro is putting words in Lemon’s mouth and pretending to read his mind.
Fondacaro went on to impart knowledge he can’t possibly know when he later intoned: “Anyone who watches Lemon’s nightly show knows there’s only one side he fights for: the left.” He linked to the NewsBusters topic page on Lemon, which cites only 11 examples of Lemon purportedly fighting for “the left” in the final three months of 2019.
If Lemon was really the incessant fighter on “the left” that Fondacaro insists he is, shouldn’t the MRC have way more examples of it? And shouldn’t Fondacaro care more about what Lemon actually instead of what he imagines Lemon said?
