About as much legal basis as the raid of that Georgia election building.

Fire your headline writer CNN. Your framing is NONSENSE. How about something like "Journalist Don Lemon was arrested after REPORTING on an anti-ICE protest." You see how easy it is to avoid being a stenographer for Trump?

Shame on CNN for spinning this headline to please Trump. All of you cowardly "journalists" refusing to stand up to Trump will end up have your faces eaten by leopards.

Out of curiosity, do prospective employees have to pay for their own spine removal, or is it covered in CNN's healthcare plans?

He's in custody and now the effort to fabricate charges are underway.

Did Stephen Miller dictate that headline @cnn.com ? @donlemonofficial.bsky.social was REPORTING on the protest and a federal magistrate had already said there was no probable cause for arresting him. Your network has really become a mouthpiece for the fascist regime.

@cnn.com promotes and enables a regime that is now arresting journalists I am sure the smug ass Jennings will have something profound to say about this unpatriotic and unAmerican act from Trump's DOJ

It was a normal tourist visit.

@cnn.com YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK! Way to go helping out the fascist trump regime day after damn day! 🖕🏻

Correct your headline! Don Lemon, Journalist, Had First Amendment Rights Violated by the DOJ or DOJ UNLAWFULLY ARRESTS DON LEMON

Nice to see CNN sticking up for journalists rights and free speech... oh wait, no... they are weirdly framing this as him being possibly guilty. No wonder people don't watch CNN anymore. Zero integrity.

That’s definitely a headline someone (something) could write.

Won't be surprised if the Cowardly Nazi Network will spin this story. Especially those two duds, Tapper and Bash.

Milquetoast horseshit masquerading as a headline.

Every one of your journalists should be pissed and now fearful for reporting! Another attack on our constitutional protections to distract from ICE murders and the most incompetent pedo pres in history! Let’s not leave out his clueless yes-men and women! This group must be held accountable!

I stand with Don Lemon. ✊ I channeled my anger this morning and got to work. bsky.app/profile/thre...

Don Orange arrests Don Lemon. Details to be Produced.

Don Lemon has a YouTube channel called The Don Lemon Show. I'm sure he'd appreciate more subscribers: www.youtube.com/@TheDonLemon... He also has shows you can attend, tickets available on his website at donlemon.com.

That's how you're gonna describe it you quisling bitches?

Why don't you say the obvious! Criminal Trump wants end our democracy! He is attacking our 1st amendment!

quote of the morning

Fuck you, that phrasing is bullshit. He was not involved in a confrontation. He was doing journalism, you fucking idiots.

This is fascism 101. They arrested a reporter for covering a protest against a member of the regime. Your complicity will not save you CNN

The timing of the arrest of Don Lemon and other journalists and the release of 3 million Epstein Files is telling.

Hello, with all due respect USA, the Republican MAGA theocratic party does not care. The democrats et al. are the ones that need to wake up. This is no longer about ethics, morality & principles in politics. This is Civil-War. Trump is scared and riding the Tiger & will do anything to survive.

You’re next, CNN. We all are.

You know why don't you it's in these epstine files 👇

If you don’t write your headlines accurately they’ll be picking you up too soon

did Scott Jennings write this?

This headline is cowardly. You are cowards.

That's your take @cnn.com ? Not, journalist, covering protest, taken into custody in an afront to the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution?

You other media cowards need to wake the fuck up! Stop kissing the ass of the orange despot in every broadcast segment. He's coming for your fascist appeasing asses too!

How you would write it if it happened outside of the US: "Respected journalist reporting on regime violent take-over of city is kidnapped and detained by regime's extrajudicial paramilitary force."

Fuck ICE, Trump, Miller, Noem, Bag of cash Bitch, & anyone who thinks this is ok.

pot… meet kettle

Replace taken into custody with arrested. @cnn.com

Do better, headline writers.

Hey CNN are you going to report the facts or are you going to cave like C Bs. You journalist should be afraid.

Freedom of speech only for who they want. Reality will hit hard many of those that voted for this and called themselves "independents"

Wow, you couldn’t even write a non spin headline for one of your own. Just change your name to faux newz lite, already and stop pretending

man you guys aren't even going to complain when they start rounding you up, huh

2 judges did say no

He is not a "former" journalist. THAT is why he was arrested. Don't be dense.

And here comes CNN, normalizing fascism like usual. Are you trying to repulse anyone who might possibly be interested in the news?

Covering for fascism yet again.

That's it?That's all you have to say?? Wow, CNN you suck

While those VERMIN in DC are all PEDOPHILES, rapists, murders, and criminals. They go after Don? All the money, trump is stealing, will pay us all as we sue the shit out if him.

hey how was his confrontation anti-ice? you jackasses are framing this like don lemon was protesting ice. He was covering a news story. Get a fucking grip. your actions have consequences.

I’m confused. Why no arrest after the protest at predominantly black churches after CK’s murder? Why no arrest after a guy (who calls himself a preacher) protested and disrupted at Jamal Bryant’s church a few weeks ago? It’s puzzling 🤔

“Anti-ICE confrontation”??????? This is most bad faith headline I could imagine.

„The land of the free„

bsky.app/profile/expo...

Hey kids, say goodbye to your 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendment privileges.

Be better. Might I suggest "American citizen unlawfully detained by paramilitary force for exercising first ammendment rights." See, it's not hard to be better.

@cnn.com it’s called DOJ overreach & corruption

Yet. Yet.

That's a ROTTEN headline. You people stink.

This is a dipshit headline

wow CNN you are really the bottom of the barrel. Just horrible Regime-collaborators!!! This is your "take" on the thugs terrorizing and now apparently arresting journalist? When it is happening to a former collegue of yours? SHAME!

Edit: After REPORTING ON an anti-ICE confrontation. How many years did Don Lemon work for you? He is a journalist, and was practicing journalism at this event. You might want to report accurately on this as a gross violation of the Constitutionally-protected exercise of his First Amendment rights.

Any doubts about Donald Trump bringing fascism to all Americans? Is that what MAGA voted for?

If you actually cared about him, you wouldn’t be doing propaganda for the Nazis who arrested him. This is a blatant violation of the first amendment and it’s illegal and unethical as fuck. And you know it.

American journalist unlawfully arrested for exercising his first amendment right of the press to communicate the truth and shed light on this fucking authoritarian travesty. FTFY. 🧐

how does the boot taste?

So are you finally ready to call Donald Trump a dictator? Because this kind of shit only happens in dictatorships.

Then they came for the Lemon Party.

Putin also has a habit of arresting Journalists who are critical of him.

What does comedian Kevin Hart have to say about this?

Where’s the outrage CNN? You’ve turned into something pathetic …. Borderline Trump ass-lickers. He hasn’t even been charged yet…again, where is your outrage???

You dickheads are responsible for this. If you had done your fucking jobs and actually reported what the orange idiot was saying during the campaign, maybe this never happens. Your sanewashing is part of the reason we're hip deep in shit right now.

bsky.app/profile/timo...

For what? I sure hope he files multiple lawsuits for wrongful arrest, harassment & more against everyone in the Trump regime starting with Trump himself! #FreeDonLemon P.S. Knowing Abbe Lowell the DOJ is fucked!

cnn is complicit in allowing a rightwing authoritarian regime takeover of this country

Come on @cnn.com use real language and not this masking polite shit. call it what it is!! Agents violate the consitution .. Mob handed to arrest jounalist - why are they mob handed!! TO Intimidate!!!

#NoFreedomWithoutFreePress right CNN? Right???

Criminal ICE doing their criminal work for the convicted felon Trump!!!!

“Or how about this headline — ‘American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights. ‘ Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.”—@Timothysnyder.bsky.social

Trump and his administration has blatantly violated the law at every turn and taken a wreaking ball to the norms of our society. Shame on every single American who voted for this vile man. This latest action is deplorable and unlawful.

Fascism fascism fascism Release the Epstein files

He’s your own guy and y’all won’t even accurately frame what happened to him lmaooooooooo

He didn't participate in an "anti-ICE confrontation". He reported on it.

Fuck this headline wtf is this shit? They're arresting journalists and your passive voice bullshit framing of the shredding of our Constitution is helping the fascists

CNN, he was reporting on the protest..

Barbie Bondi better hope that snap of the whip she got from Doofus Don led to the arrest of ALL journalists covering the same story. Otherwise this will result in yet another ‘Tish James, Jim Comey’ targeted and vindictive prosecution. You’d think Donald would’ve learned.

Any journalists left at CNN to have a view on arresting journalists for reporting?

CNN towing the line once again. Boot-kissing journalism at its worst.

They’re going to come for you too CNN, enjoy your bootlicking while it lasts. One day you too could offer the same level of journalism as those talking heads on Russian state TV.

You mean to say, "Don Lemon, journalist covering an anti-ICE confrontation in St Paul, has been taken into custody after magistrate judge would not approve warrant."

Honestly, this is best you could do?

My goodness can’t you just stop your pamper this administration nonsense?

Fascism. This administration must be taken down.

Federal Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko (US District Court for the District of Minnesota) refused to sign an arrest warrant for Don Lemon and several others; decision upheld by 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. NO PROBABLE CAUSE.

I think you meant to say DO(in)J KIDNAPPED Don Lemon.

Americans exporting 'freedom' in the form of missiles to Asia, Africa, and Latin America, please answer me: did this happen in Iran or Venezuela? I'm curious...

Don Lemon stands as a figurehead for independent media and after successfully capturing corporate media Trump regime must turn on independent media because authoritarian regimes cannot tolerate popular dissent, spreading truth + countering misinformation especially when it reaches many people!

🪖🤳🏿 - White Amerikkka: Serves him right for being anti-ICE. - White America: oh no! This is so wrong. Please don't tread on me with political protests as I'm watching sports tho. - Also White America: it's a shame we can't do anything about this until the mid terms. I do hope we vote them out.

Wow, CNN this is beyond low by you, full on Fascist bootlickers. So glad I quit watching this garbage years ago.

He was a journalist covering a protest.

That's what dictators do.

Officially an authoritarian state now.

Which gutless corporate fuckstick wrote that headline?

hey CNN, they're killing civilians and arresting journalists, and if you don't think you're next, you're fooling yourselves.

Stop with the softball fucking headlines!!!

Sorry!!!? He was arrested for no reason, after the court rejected their request!???

Hey, @cnn.com— are there any larger issues at play here? Maybe any that pose a risk not just for the guy you turfed a while back, but for you? Maybe mention those issues?

Continue whitewashing it, and you'll be next.

America can claim no freedom to its citizenry if journalism is not free. Free Don Lemon and Georgia Fort!

You sad cowardly fucks. Lemon was illegally arrested for using his 1A rights as an American and journalist to cover a demonstration which happened in a church whose pastor is also a local ICE supervisor Apologize and rewrite your Trump ass kissing headline @cnn.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy are dead

Fascism is here. Anyone who collaborates with fascists is also a fascist.

You absolute fuckers. I hope you’re proud. Actually, to be clear, I hope CNN goes bankrupt and that every employee who helped get us to this point loses everything and ends up living in a refrigerator box in Alaska for a decade before finally landing in hell for all eternity.

if you weren't FOX lite you wouldn't give yourself a brain bruise trying to sane wash what this administration does. mealy mouthed

do your network a favor and hire him again! He’s a real journalist

You forgot the part where they did this explicitly after they were denied twice to do it. CALL THEM OUT YOU FUCKING USELESS MACHINE.

You are cowards for writing that piss-poor headline

A fascist police state will attack the free press.
