Don Lemon’s boyfriend told a reporter the CNN star gave Stormy Daniels' attorney the kid-glove treatment in a Monday interview that followed a blistering expose, and referred to the news network as “liberal media” in a baffling exchange.
Tim Malone, a media ad sales executive, made the shocking disclosures in a Twitter direct message conversation with Daily Caller reporter Joe Simonson. It came after Michael Avenatti appeared on "CNN Tonight" on the heels of a Daily Caller report on Avenatti's shady past dealings. Lemon served up softballs, and Malone had a ready explanation.
“Malone also to believes that Avenatti has befriended the liberal media, but that his time as journalists’ golden boy may be running out,” Simonson wrote in an exclusive story about the strange colloquy initiated by Malone.
Malone said the media is going “way too easy” on the porn lawyer, and feels the Daily Caller has been “fair.”
“Honestly, I think it’s all a game, everyone is profiting, and doing what rates for their audience,” Malone said, according to Simonson. “People need to dig more. But they are starting.”
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
As for Simonson, when reached for comment about the bewildering interview with Malone, he issued the following statement: “I was and remain confused.”
