DON LEMON . ( Short Article )

Announced within minutes of the Tucker Carlson announcement. It has to be a coincidence or the start of a cursed talking head duo origin story. 
Strategic timing. Media will focus more on Carlson.  (1)>>Lemon story won’t dominate the news cycle. Unless Lemon takes gun and shoots up CNN in a grand final . BUT WE KNOW that he is going to get a lawsuit against & Probably a race bait lawsuit on. CNN  UNLIKE TUCKER CARLSON . Don Lemon is a totally somewhat similar tale . (1.2)>>It's too coincidental that lemon was axed about the same time Tucker was. You'd think that CNN and FOX are just one media company of sorts . Ever since COVID 19 ,  (2)>>Don Lemon has gone to the Deep End of state sponsored propaganda . Pro -War , Pro- Vaccine etc .   Lemon was CNN's Deep State propaganda machine . But he was cracking like a egg . SO  , In the wake of Lemon’s Feb. 16 Haley comments — derided as “unacceptable” and “sexist” by everyone from CNN chair Chris Licht to Haley herself, and even referenced by Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh during her best actress acceptance speech — his fate at CNN hung in the balance, with many colleagues privately calling for his ouster. Despite the outcry, he landed back on his feet after riding the bench for two days, posting a Twitter mea culpa in which he insisted that he is “committed to doing better” and ignoring the matter altogether during his Feb. 22 on-air return. Still, the incident has spotlighted Lemon’s troubling treatment of women and unprofessional antics, dating back nearly two decades. I never understand why a NEWS personality can attain an ego like this, and even more so, that the networks TOLERATE it.How many CNN viewers were honestly watching out of loyalty to DON FREAKING LEMON?Here's what I don't get: CNN has tolerated Lemon's behavior for a decade and a half, but what have they gotten in return for that? Are there big Don Lemon fans out there? Is he a huge ratings pull? Does he do important, groundbreaking news work? The answer on all of those questions seems to be no. They were willing to keep him around for all this time despite some really bizarre and unacceptable behavior, and in return for making that compromising decision they got... exactly nothing. (3)>>More troubling was his misogynistic behavior, multiple sources say. Lemon called one of his producers fat to her face. CNN obviously brought Lemon in as part of it's so called "inclusiveness " , he is black and gay , married to a white male . Lemon was the deluxe as CNN primetime could offer to its audiences . However the question race was a wild card for Lemon he was a staunch defender of BLM , the fact that the protestors were burning and looting way back in 2020 .  Reminds me of years back when Don was getting absolutely shit faced in new Orleans during a new years special. His female co-host was like "bruh relax" but Don was slamming shots on live TV lol. Eventually he keeps trying to convince her to get into a hot tub with him. This kept happening to the point that the female co-host looked visibly uncomfortable. I'm surprised he never had any fall out from that event.  Recent he was in a verbal argument with  (4)>>Vivek Ramaswamy , which probably BLEW OVER WITH the Race CARD innuendo. That NO show HIS was wild. Don was like 3 seconds from throwing out a N* any time he talked to someone else black. I remember watching that thinking to myself, "wow, this is an HR department's nightmare televised" lol. This seems like the most reasonable answer to me. Lemon has a long history of talking over his guests when he doesn’t agree with them. What a shit interviewer and overall lousy host he is, regardless of his politics. Shows have guests on to get their opinions on topics, not to have the host bulldoze their opinions with his own. Good riddance to bad baggage.  Especially if it is, as some have alleged, for inappropriate behavior. The timing will surely mitigate any bad publicity.

NOTES AND COMMENTS : 
(1)>>Lemon story won’t dominate the news cycle.  I PERSONALLY did not care for Don Lemon at the point of him being so antagonistic on his show . He over the 7 years of trying to watch him under the skin he was like a time bomb ready to explode . Tensions on the set of “CNN This Morning” have recently boiled over, with Don Lemon allegedly “screaming” at co-host Kaitlan Collins off-camera during an ugly December incident that has left the cast and crew rattled ever since, The Post has learned.According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, 56-year-old Lemon approached 30-year-old Collins following the show’s last year 2023 Dec. 8, broadcast — and unloaded on her in front of staffers as he accused her of “interrupting” him on air.“Don screamed at Kaitlan, who was visibly upset and ran out of the studio,” one source with knowledge of the skirmish said.The Dec. 8 blowup wasn’t the first sign of trouble at “CNN This Morning” since the show’s Nov. 1 launch. A week earlier, Lemon got into an awkward dispute with Collins and Harlow on air, arguing that the US men’s soccer team should get paid more than the women’s team despite the men’s relative lack of success at the World Cup.The dustup made headlines, with the Daily Beast quoting Lemon saying the men were “more interesting to watch” — a comment that Lemon quickly walked back and insisted was a joke.(1.2)>>It's too coincidental that lemon was axed about the same time Tucker was.  IT SMELLS LIKE A CONSPIRACY !  It must be a conspiracy how can both men get fired on the same day If I were a cartoonist, I’d be having a field day. FOX, Tucker, CNN, Sour Lemons. What if each ran for POTUS opposing each other? What if Don and Chris get a reality show —The Odd Couple. I’m so inspired by this story line!! My guess is they didn't want to seem weak by letting Fox & CNN  keep their controversial hosts while they let theirs go. Saw Tucker get dropped and it was their signal get rid of Lemon . Don Lemon has been garbage all 17 of his years at CNN. Besides Matt Lauer, he seems to be one of the most vain anchors in history with his ‘how could viewers not enjoy me?!’ attitude.Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson…..I feel an odd satisfying sense of balance in the universe.(2)>>Don Lemon has gone to the Deep End of state sponsored propaganda .  CNN's Don Lemon has told his viewers that it’s time to shun and leave behind those who refuse to get vaccinated. He WAS PUSHING BIG PHARMA propaganda . “I think we have to stop coddling people when it comes to … the vaccines, saying, ‘Oh you can’t shame them. You can’t call them stupid.’ Yes, they are,” said Lemon on CNN’s Don Lemon Tonight, as reported by PoliticusUSA.“The people who are not getting vaccines who are believing the lies on the internet instead of science, it’s time to start shaming them or leave them behind,” he continued.CNN anchor is encouraging people to shame anyone who doesn't agree with them. Lemon calls them "stupid". He must be unaware that PhDs are the most vaccine hesitant group. Lemon was also CNN's pro war propagandist, the mainstream media doesn't listen to anyone, and they've suppressed free speech to the extent that no one has a voice anymore. they get to decide how people feel and what people want and will say with a straight face to your face that you're alone in feeling what you feel when really you're in the overwhelming majority. the msm are establishment puppets who parrot their propaganda to you.(3)>>More troubling was his misogynistic behavior. For being gay , Don Lemon seems to have some kinda hatred for women . According to Variety, Lemon’s alleged history of misogynistic behavior at CNN dates back to at least 2008, when he was so incensed over then-colleague Kyra Phillips getting assigned to cover Iraq that he reportedly tore up notes at their shared news pod and sent threatening texts to her from a burner phone.The alleged antics reportedly did not stop there, according to Variety. Lemon reportedly often felt miffed at the thought of female colleagues getting opportunities over him, including when then-colleague Soledad O’Brien was chosen to anchor CNN’s “Black in America” series in 2008. During an editorial call announcing the news, Lemon opined that O’Brien wasn’t Black, Variety reported.But the Haley incident is only the tip of the misogynistic and sexist behavior from Lemon at CNN, according to a new report from Variety published Wednesday. The story, which features statements from over a dozen sources who currently or formerly worked at CNN, alleges that Lemon had a history of disrespecting women at the cable news giant, including on-air talent like Soledad O’Brien, Nancy Grace, and Kyra Phillips, all of whom have since left the company.One of the most shocking stories from the report claims that Lemon harassed and sent threatening texts to Phillips when the two co-hosted CNN’s “Live From” weekday show in 2008. According to Variety, sources claimed that tensions between the two grew high after working together for months, and producers and newsroom supervisors had to pull Lemon off the air during commercial breaks multiple times due to provocative behavior.(4)>>Vivek Ramaswamy , which probably BLEW OVER WITH the Race CARD innuendo. I also didn’t appreciate it when he said Vivek Ramaswamy had no right to talk about black issues. I mean, there’s a lot wrong with what Ramaswamy says, but not allowing someone to comment about issues just because they are of a different race sounds somewhat - fascist and it really cheapens the argument. Lemon was a complete dick to Ramaswamy, but of all the dickish things Lemon has done, this was what was "too far"?Odd. His co-host exerted a lot of power though, not with reason or words, but by simply emoting discomfort with Lemon's schtick. You could see the power deflating from Lemon. He got less than zero support from her.Lemon was peddling the typical leftist BS of feelings over facts. "My lived experience" blah blah blah. How you feel as a black person living in 2023 America doesn't magically inform you of historical facts. You weren't there, Lemonhead. You have to read books to be informed of those past events, just like anyone.I'm glad for this exchange though. East Asians, South Asians, and other minorities that actually have a culture of hard work and value the American Dream need to wake the hell up and stop voting Left. "Whatever ethnicity you are..." Wow. The contempt.
