How CNN miscast Don Lemon as a morning person

[BidenPresident]

Yet pulling a star like Lemon from prime time also reflected a larger shift underway at CNN, whose new chain of command — including Warner Bros. Discovery chief executive David Zaslav and key shareholder John Malone — has expressed a desire to scale back on the politically charged tone that emanated on the airwaves during the Trump years. In that vein, the network also parted ways with media correspondent Brian Stelter in August and White House correspondent John Harwood in September.

"Lemon said that GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, at the age of 51, “isn’t in her prime, sorry.” His comments were in response to Haley’s proposal that candidates over 75 undergo mental competency tests. (Trump is 76; Joe Biden is 80.) “A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s,” Lemon added."

Don Lemon was totally justified. Or is ok for a woman to make obnoxious, insulting comments?

Don Lemon’s Apology for Nikki Haley Age Remarks Hints at Deeper Tensions at CNN Morning Show

Discovery cable-news outlet, according to a person familiar with the matter, with younger staffers taking offense and others asking how CNN can try to book prominent female politicians and newsmakers after one of its best known anchors seemed to inveigh against older women.

And it is the latest in a series of tense moments on air between Lemon and his two co-anchors, Harlow and Kaitlan Collins. Lemon recently appeared to critique Collins’ interview with James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, about upcoming hearings on the topic of Hunter Biden’s laptop. Lemon even waved off music signaling the show was about to go to a commercial break to continue making his point about issues he had with Comer’s responses. He may have been trying to criticize the politician, but it looked as if he was taking partial aim at his colleague.

Now Lemmon can go back to sticking his hands down men's pants and making unwanted sexual advances.

No but Lemmon does. Has he done it to you? Dustin Hice sued Lemmon perhaps you should also.
