Wolf Blitzer to Don Lemon: No, Dan Abrams’ Mediaite Is Not a Gay Porn Site

Mediaite just got the strangest cable news shout-out of all time.

During a discussion about the revelations that WDBJ shooter Vester Flanagan may have owned gay porn websites, Don Lemon decided to draw an analogy between the reporter-turned-killer and Mediaite founder Dan Abrams, who is also the Chief Legal Analyst for ABC News.

Lemon was explaining that he “doesn’t really see the relevance” of the gay porn angle, especially if the websites in question were legal. “What’s wrong with him owning gay porn sites or straight porn sites or as a journalist forming a media company like Dan Abrams did?” he asked.

At that point, Wolf Blitzer stopped Lemon to clarify that our boss Abrams “owns a media website, but it’s not a gay porn website.”

“There’s no difference though!” Lemon exclaimed, once more comparing the site you are reading right now to gay porn. “They’re both legal. So if Dan Abrams or anyone else wanted to start a gay porn website, as long as they’re abiding by the law, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.”

Got that everyone? Mediaite is not a gay porn site, but if it was, that would be cool too.
