All The Presidents Men Work at CNN (and MSNBC)

Dana Bash, Don Lemon and Gloria Borger, among others at CNN, showed how much both CNN and their anchors are big fans of Barack Obama, as they offered criticism of CBS News White House Correspondent Major Garrett for bothering Obama by asking him an important question. 

Dana Bash:

• There’s a fine line between asking a tough question and maybe crossing that line a little bit and being disrespectful, and I think that happened here.”

 Don Lemon:

•  “OK, so, let me tell you, basically, what he was saying was, ‘Man, look here, are you out of your damn mind?’ That’s exactly what the tone — that’s exactly where I thought he was going, like ‘Are you crazy?’ To — because, to put the question in that form. I was at home watching it going ‘Wait a minute,’ you know, it was a little out of school, but I was — I thought that was the next thing was coming, like, ‘What is wrong with you?’ That’s what I thought he was going to say.”

 Gloria Borger:

•  “look, the question about the fate of four Americans is a completely legitimate question. When you look at the language and the way it was loaded in this question, ‘capitulation,’ ‘are you content?’ [paraphrasing] ‘Did you hang the Joint Chiefs of Staff out to dry?’ There are different ways to ask questions, and I think, again, when you look at the president, and I think Don’s absolutely right, I don’t think he really wanted to say that’s nonsense. I think he wanted to say something a little bit stronger, but you could see that he was visibly angry and upset and irritated.”CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger

CNN's Ashleigh Banfield Ponders Whether the Jefferson Memorial Sould be Torn Down

She is asking Don Lemon, because Banfield is afraid to have a thought about Black people without consulting with one first.' And Don Lemon's response, though somewhat insightful, seems to believe what he is saying even though it is not all that intelligent. But, the narrative on why people want the flag removed was flawed from the beginning.

"The Root" Writer Decries Black people for Not Thinking Like He Does

He, BTW, is also black.

In an article posted at "The Root," Michael Arceneaux critiqued Raven Symone on her recent appearances on "The View," and threw in Don Lemon and Stacey Dash in the mix.  He basically summed up his opinion as:

• Frankly, a spare brick on the sidewalk can be just as “interesting” and “provocative”—except a brick has more to contribute to meaningful conversation than any of the aforementioned three.

He also make his racist declaration:

•  there is reason to take issue with Raven-Symoné because she is an example of another ill-informed, lazy-thinking black person being handed a huge platform for simply being a darker face to dense views typically espoused only by white people. In that respect, she is another instance of a long-standing problem.

In other words, Raven-Symone doesn't share whatever narrative Arceneaux happens to push, so even though they are black, they are talking like white people. Arceneaux's dogma is clarified again on Raven-Symone::

•  Like when she defended the Univision host who compared first lady Michelle Obama to a primate. Raven-Symoné has been adamant, then and now, that there was no racist connotation to the comparison; but even if you call yourself a “colorless person,” how could you have no idea that comparing a black man or woman to a primate is Racism 101?

You have to be clear when it comes to people like Arceneaux. Humor, commentary, social media, has to be careful for he is part of the culture police who spend a lot of time discerning peoples motives for the things they say and do in hopes they can catch the ever so valuable "gotcha moment" so he can pat himself on the back with a "well done" platitude. And then ridicule them in an article somewhere not not being as good of a black person as he is.

Arceneaux's motive is somewhat obfuscated by his bio: Michael Arceneaux hails from Houston, lives in Harlem and praises Beyoncé’s name wherever he goes. Huh?
