NewsBusters Podcast: Oscar Bait and Media 'Amplifying Hate'

Sunday night's Oscars show in Hollywood had some fun with CNN morning host Don Lemon, with Best Actress winner Michelle Yeoh telling women "never let them say you're past your prime." Meanwhile, ex-CNN host was leading a panel at the South by Southwest conference in Texas on how to fix the media that are "amplifying hate." (Let's guess they mean Fox.)

The View Demands Dems Accept Kamala as VP, Can't List Accomplishments

The cackling coven of ABC’s The View was so scared of their chances in 2024 that they spent part of their Monday episode trashing their fellow Democrats who were concerned about Kamala Harris remaining vice president.

CNN Edits Out Oscar Winner's Slap At Lemon For 'Past Her Prime' Insult

CNN This Morning airs portions of the acceptance speech by Best Actress Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh. But the show edited out Yeoh saying, "Ladies, don't let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime." That was a clear shot at Don Lemon, the morning co-host who was recently suspended and subjected to sensitivity training for insisting that Nikki Haley, 51, "isn't in her prime."
