Don Lemon: 'State-Run' 'Trump TV' FOX News Not Covering Hope Hicks, Viewers Unaware WH "Imploding"

At the conclusion of a panel discussion on the resignation of White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, CNN host Don Lemon said "Trump supporters" who are watching "state-run" 'Trump TV,' referring to FOX News, don't even know about her departure because the channel is not covering it nor the "White House imploding behind him." (<b>UPDATE: Don Lemon said he misspoke</b>.) <b><a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/03/01/fox_news_covers_hope_hicks_resignation_cavuto_the_five_special_report_maccallum_tucker_hannity.html">FOX News Covers Hope Hicks Resignation: Cavuto, The Five, Special Report, MacCallum, Tucker, Hannity</a></b> "I was sitting in my office and was watching all the news channels, right -- Trump TV or state-run TV, they're not even reporting this," Lemon said Wednesday night. "So, Trump supporters, they don't even know about these stories, it doesn't even register, that's the amazing thing. We cover all of these things every day. The White House imploding behind him, and he's standing there going, 'nothing to see here." "His supporters probably don't even realize the extent of it," Lemon lamented. <b>UPDATE 3/1</b>: FOX News did cover Hope Hicks' resignation at least 3 times before Lemon's 10pm show.
