Don Lemon, a journalist who works at CNN, stood out recently for doing something many journalists do not, and that is calling a politician on their bullshit. He attacked Michelle Bachmann her for excessively using talking points, which share little to no basis in reality. His clips made it seem as though the republican hopeful were a robot that just droned on and on without actually thinking about what she said.
I want to say thank you to Don Lemon for doing your job and calling out the right-wing irresponsible homophobic Bachmann for her intellectual dishonesty. The rest of the media needs to start asking these Republican candidates tough questions, like why they think it's reasonable (aside from Ron Paul, since he is libertarian) to oppose a deal that is 10 dollars of spending cuts for every 1 dollar of tax increases, which they all said they would veto as President when asked in the recent debate on Fox. Questions like that could show the public how intellectually lazy the current batch of Republican candidates really are.
