They brought in Chris Wallace for CNN Plus, which went under. They’ve just been using him for 1/6 and election commentary. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets Don’s spot.

Don Lemon was a TERRIBLE prime time news host. I'm surprised he survived this long with all the trash takes and conspiracy BS he's allowed his show to be used for. He's just not a serious journalist.

Now, if CNN tries to put some right winger or "soft on Republicans" center-right host like Jake Tapper in his place I'm done with them.

Never forget them hot takes Don and Fredo Chris Cuomo were saying during the Ferguson unrest. They can both go to hell and so can CNN.

I really never paid attention to Don until his back and forth with Talib Kweli - but ever since then its legit been hard to ignore how fukked up he is. And how deliberate his placement was on CNN as well.

There's a lot of people in news who don't know they're being used and legitimately thinking they're helping situations. Don is very aware that he's misrepresenting and undercutting people regularly.

CNN got bought out by John Malone and he has donated to Trump couple times so this may be him slowly but surely turning CNN to FOX news lite.
Makes sense.

Fox is basically Nazi shyt along with OAN.

CNN finna be Mitt Romney/Bush #41 "regular" Republican TV

MSNBC is going to be the only "liberal" news but most liberals get news from a lot of different sources while conservatives mostly rely on TV

I never liked the dude and always watch the funky shyt he said. The clown was hired when Obama was in office to push a counter narrative. Then once racist Trump got in office he pivoted as some anti right black dude.

Don is a Chameleon and will do anything for the fame and money. He is the male version of Robin Roberts IMO.

Alot of the black talent on these news stations got bushed
They have less value if there isn't a black president to cape for or a white republican to hate on

This. They are trying to appease MAGA.
They're trying to get ratings anywhere they come from as they've alienated the entire viewer base in some form or another over the past two decades. Its really not even a yes/no thing with them anymore - they fukking suck appealing to anyone and everyone.

The problem is at some point they warped bipartisanship into trying to be conveniently polarizing in whichever direction was gonna pick up the most traction and after doing it for so long, no one in the building could even tell what their direction/purpose was anymore.

That's how you get a room full of people agreeing that a subscription service to watch Anderson Cooper raise kids is a good idea :mjlol:
