[See NewsBusters for more.] CNN doesn’t even try to be objective anymore. Case in point, Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo were discussing Mount Rushmore, the President’s recent speech there, and the Founding Fathers. Lemon’s solution? Just add Barack Obama, making him “front and center.” (The journalist didn’t explain how that would happen without impacting the other Presidents already there.) Talking to Cuomo, he suggested: “If they're going to put someone on Mount Rushmore, considering the history of the country, the first black President should be front and center.” Cuomo liked the idea, agreeing, “Add to Mount Rushmore.... I think it's a more salable idea than the idea of taking away Founding Fathers.”
