First, Tucker Carlson at FOX News.

Now Don Lemon is out at CNN. This one is not a surprise, though.

Lemon said he was fired.

CNN said they parted ways:

CNN has parted ways with longtime host Don Lemon.

“Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years,” said CNN CEO Chris Licht in a statement. “We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”

    He lied…

    Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate. He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter.

Everyone will be replaced by trans pod people….

Story I read says he found out about it from his agent. If Lemon was stunned or surprised at this he was the only one. What a toolbag

Will anyone now come to Lemon’s aids?

Don Lemon “I’m stunned.”

That’s because you are also stupid.

Why fire him? He is a real life Milton. Just give him a red stapler, put his office in basement storage, and stop writing checks. At some point he will burn the place down and it will be win win.

    “Yeah, ummmmm, Don is it? Yeahhhhhh we’re gonna need you to come in on Saturday, uhmmmmkay? And if it’s not too much trouble, we’re also gonna need you to stop harassing women, uhmmmmkay? Greaaaaaat.”

Cancel culture firings aren’t good at any network.

    But firing no-talent, low-rating morons is good for every media business at anytime.

    So there is that.

CNN had clearly been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him but was afraid of him screaming about them firing because he was ‘gay and black’.

Tucker’s quitting gives them the perfect media cover. Nobody really cares about LeMon, its an afterthought to everybody breathlessly talking about Tucker and what that means for Fox.

Don Lemon is a part of the 24 second news cycle. He was forgotten before the elevator even got to the ground floor. Now, will he officially identify as a woman to get a place on “The View?” He has already passed (failed?) the IQ test.

Two diversity tick boxes didn’t save him.

I’m sure this insufferable, obnoxious, sanctimonious twit and sexual assaulter will land on his feet. The Dumb-o-crats take care of their own.

So. Lemon is gone. Who will fill the slot for a homosexual Negro at CNN?

Steven Brizel | April 24, 2023 at 3:00 pm

Good riddance!

Le’Mon in the morning is kaput!

BierceAmbrose | April 24, 2023 at 4:08 pm

So, Don Lw-Mon was as insightful and informed about his employment status as he was about the stuff he reported on.

Cluelessness is a general ability, it seems.

Don Lemon has been stunned for years and probably decades. That explains his almost total lack of rational thought and self-awareness. Don’t let the door knob hit you in the @#$ Sparky.

You could only last on gratitude so long in the corporate world when you aren’t producing any money but are costing a great deal of it.
