Don Lemon

Fired CNN host Don Lemon surfaced to discuss his ouster on Kara Swisher's Pivot podcast. The big takeaway was that Lemon felt "vindicated" that CEO Chris Licht was let go after letting him go....and then he gushed over how fantastic Jeff Zucker was when he ran CNN.

Two years ago this week, even liberal journalists were appalled by the disastrous incompetence of the Biden administration regarding the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Yet quickly the most shameless partisan journalists identified themselves by deciding to praise, rather than criticize, the disaster that all could see with their own eyes.

Starting Friday with a 15,000-word tome by The Atlantic’s Tim Alberta, CNN boss Chris Licht’s legitimacy took on a deluge of water with one story after another seeking to end Licht’s tenure beset by a disastrous morning show, a lack of network cohesion, and sagging ratings. Licht was hired by Discovery head honcho David Zaslav to move CNN to the center and away from the permanent…

CNN This Morning repeatedly mentioned an alleged culture of misogyny and sexism at Tucker Carlson's show, contributing to his firing by Fox News. But no mention is made of the notorious instances of sexism and misogyny of Don Lemon, the co-host of CNN This Morning until he was recently fired by CNN. 

On Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, the Media Research Center led the way in providing reaction to and instant analysis at NewsBusters, online, and on the radio about the bombshell firings of Tucker Carlson by Fox News and Don Lemon at CNN. This included three spots from MRC Founder and President Brent Bozell, NewsBusters Executive Editor Tim Graham, and NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis…

The Tuesday New York Times demonstrated an obvious labeling contrast. On page A1 came the headlined "Fox News Ousts Carlson, a Voice Of the Far Right." But on B-1, there was no label in the header "Lemon Out At CNN; He Says He Is ‘Stunned’." Lemon was only "fiery" and "spiky," not liberal or far-left

The Tuesday after the ladies of The View celebrated Tucker Carlson leaving Fox News, the ABC hosts vigorously defended ousted CNN anchor Don Lemon, who was reportedly fired for his treatment of female co-workers and deplorable on-air behavior and comments. Lemon’s friends leapt to his defense by arguing it couldn’t be true because “he loves his mom” and loves them.

The Monday news media news surrounding Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon provided the late night comedy shows a golden opportunity to show they aren’t just liberal partisans. However, they would fail this test as individual jokes about Carlson outnumbered jokes about Lemon 32-to-2 with five additional jokes about both men.

The respective reasoning behind Monday’s bombshell firings of Don Lemon by CNN and Tucker Carlson at Fox News came into focus by evening as it became evident that Lemon’s luck had been finally squeezed out among CNN executives following a tense, race-bait-filled interview with 2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. And, in the case of Carlson, liberal journalists ran with a whole…

It was a media Monday, with two bombshells in cable news: Fox News announced they were parting ways with Tucker Carlson, and Don Lemon tweeted he was out at CNN. What could be happening at these networks? And what will happen? Bill D'Agostino, Nick Fondacaro, and Curtis Houck all join the table to make sense of the breaking news on cable news.

The cable news landscape was shaken to its core Monday with the stunning news that cable news star and host of Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson Tonight was out at the network. A short time later, CNN announced that CNN This Morning co-host Don Lemon was fired as well. During CBS Evening News's coverage of both developments, anchor Norah O'Donnell resorted to…

Don Lemon is gone! The longtime CNNer took to Twitter on Monday to announce he was fired. While Lemon claimed he was “stunned” by the move, the dismissal shouldn’t have been too surprising ever since he was demoted to the mornings back in November. At NewsBusters…

Monday, April 24, 2023 will go down as one of the more bizarre and consequential days in modern cable news as, nearly an hour after Fox News shockingly announced it had “agreed to part ways” with Tucker Carlson, CNN This Morning co-host Don Lemon claimed he was informed through his agent that he had “been terminated by CNN.”

On Tuesday's CNN This Morning, Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) was subjected to the kind of debate that conservative guests typically experience on CNN as co-host Don Lemon complained about New Hampshire's gun-friendly laws.
