Contrarian Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 (edited) Don Lemon became popular in my books when the Jussie Smollet story happened. Now, as soon as that story broke, a lot of people were outraged, but for me, something did not make sense. How did the MAGA fanatics dare to go into Chicago? Why not do this in another environment? You go into Chicago with a MAGA hat, I don't think you will make it out in one piece. So it was fishy. Then I saw Don Lemon's name as a front leader defending Jussie Smollett until the story found reality and then obviously to save his career he turned against Smollet. Of course, after that, reports came out that he was texting with Smollet and even had a segment with Chris Cuomo, another former hero at CNN, offering "advice after arrest" to Smollet. ---> Well, it seems Don Lemon has some issues now: Don Lemon Benched on Monday Over Sexist Remark Scandal, Insiders Say https://ca.news.yahoo.com/don-lemon-cut-cnn-monday-214229392.html Edited February 20 by Contrarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contrarian Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 (edited) I forgot to mention what the Great Don Lemon said: Mr. Lemon’s assertion that the presidential candidate Nikki Haley is not “in her prime” roiled the network and put a harsh spotlight on its struggling morning show. Interesting, this is the man that lectures about sexism and women's rights. Maybe Don should practice what he preaches.

ironstone Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I don't think too many people would have actually watched this broadcast since CNN has pretty low ratings. Some people picked up on his comments and that started to spread. Were his comments foolish? Yes. Par for the course for Don Lemon. He's getting a paid time-out and he won't be fired, nor should he be. Don has the right to stay stupid/highly misleading things on CNN.

Don The Lemon was a ratings disaster, showing once again why CNN is going down the toilet in ratings. The man is a racist and a liar. I'm surprised CNN did this. CNN is all about racism, sexism, etc, as is ALL left wing ideology. CNN punishes Don The Lemon for basically being CNN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Lemon resumed his position on Wednesday, of course, he will have to do the training, but he is back on the payroll. His salary: $4 million per year. 😄 Nothing against capitalism, and I like the markets, but it sure is shocking to see that, while a doctor makes around 300,000$.

Well he’s gone finally! I’m not sure why it was done on the same day as Tucker, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a theory, zero irony:<-- Left-wing CNN was shocked that Right-wing --> Fox News fired their agitator, so they got afraid, and therefore fired their own mediocrity machine?!
