CNN’s Don Lemon opened to the New York Times for a Q&A with Ana Marie Cox in today’s Sunday Magazine that touched on a variety of topics, including recent controversies and what he would be doing if he wasn’t a journalist.
I’d probably be a writer like James Baldwin. Or I would probably be an activist. But not like Dr. King, even though I admire him. I’d probably be more of a Malcolm X. I believe the best way to improve yourself is to improve yourself.
Lemon also discusses why he tends to upset liberals on occasion:
I don’t know. No one asks Jake Tapper or Wolf Blitzer to be the spokesperson for any particular group. I’m not an advocate or an activist. I’m a journalist.
