The 1 October 2014 edition of CNN Tonight spotlighted the lawsuit of a homosexual women, who mistakenly received sperm from an African-American woman – instead of a "blond haired, blue-eyed [man]...resembling my partner," as guest Jennifer Cramblett put it. Hosts Don Lemon and Alisyn Camerota gave Cramblett a platform to promote her case. Camerota underlined that the plaintiff "live[s] in eastern Ohio, in a town that you say is 98 percent white and racially insensitive."
However, Lemon actually played a bit of hardball with Cramblett, over whether the racial make-up of her daughter really matters or not:
DON LEMON: I understand that someone has to take responsibility. That was a pretty egregious error. But I mean, you know, kids are born with all sorts of things that parents don't expect to do and to learn about. And that's just – that's, kind of, part of parenting....Do you disagree?..kids are picked on for a number of different things. And if she's loved at home....why does it matter...what other people say?
