Don Lemon’s arrest marks a pivotal moment for democracy and journalism. Explore the implications.
With all due respect to Don McLean and his masterpiece “American Pie,” his song has resonated with me all day as I’ve been beside myself now that Don Lemon has been arrested. Someday, this day will be known as the day democracy and journalism died. Just like that day when the music died.
I can’t remember if I cried,
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside,
The day the music died.
Bear with me while I cope, but if I may, I can’t remember if I cried / When I heard about his prison ride / But something touched me deep inside / The day the news biz died. Okay, enough of that. Let’s get to the good stuff, which is the terrible, awful, horrible week the left is having.
How about that Fulton County election investigation, which our own Chris Queen and Matt Margolis wrote about? And what do you think about the investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar’s finances? Or that Walz-Trump negotiation that somehow enabled the Minneapolis Police to actually do their jobs, and the bonus news that it looks like Walz is ruling out public office forever? (If you can believe him.)
The lemon icing on the cake, however, is the conniptions the left is having over the arrest of Don Lemon for his very active and proud role in the invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minn. TMZ, that upstanding pillar of the Fourth Estate, is worried that the arrest of low-IQ Lemon might change democracy forever.

Of course, journalism did not die when California Attorney General Kamala Harris prosecuted real journalist David Daleiden for blowing the lid off of Planned Parenthood’s sale of aborted baby body parts.
NEW: I’ve reviewed emails showing that then California Attorney General Kamala Harris had a much anticipated meeting with top Planned Parenthood officials in March 2016.
Two weeks later, her state DOJ agents raided pro-life journalist David Daleiden’s home — looking for the… pic.
