Don had his moments but got a little ahead of himself. We loved him on the NYE show but on the more serious topics feel like he couldn't hold his weight.

Off-topic but CNN needs to get rid of the whole roundtable discussions, everytime i turn it on got at least 6ppl sitting around like a campfire :why: really only watch out when there's a major and/ or global event. Outside that its the local news, NYT and the BBC.... pause :dame:

Biggest News fall off of the past decade.

I thought Cuomo and Lemon was gonna be running shyt and they BOTH fumbled the bag

Same. I liked both of them (moreso Cuomo...Lemon was only tolerable with Cuomo being there).

Personally, I feel like both were fired for petty reasons.

Well Cuomo was helping and providing inside info to his brother. Understandable considering thats his BROTHER but still unethical. And he tried to cover up the depth of how much he was using his connects to help.


Lemon got too arrogant and forgot he was a black man. Again, considering he was there for SEVENTEEN YEARS, its sort of understandable that he got too comfortable but with the changing of the guard when Licht came onboard and the dismantling of the Cuomo/Lemon/Cooper primetime super trio Lemon should’ve seen the writing on the wall, especially considering he apparently didn’t want to play ball as a “team” with the other two morning hosts. The black guy is ALWAYS the one thats going to be on the chopping block. ALWAYS

"Offered an oppoturnity to meet with management" :dahell:

Management should have been the ones who told him they let him go.


Let someone on here said it's cac corporate speak.

Navigating that as a Black man is like navigating a landmine.


Don Lemon thought being a fakkit would protect him and he forgot that he is a Black man.

I think with Chris Cuomo they fired him moreso for the optics of there being impropriety moreso than him actually doing something that was against company policy. If I'm a rich, famous and connected person in the media industry and my relative gets in trouble, of course, I'm gonna make calls to whoever I can to help out my relative. Tell all these white celebrities with fukk up kids that they can't help their kids out of jams. They obviously do. As long as Chris didn't ask CNN staffers and employees to use their work time to help Andrew Cuomo or as long as Chris didn't use CNN's facilities himself, then I don't see why it's their business to be honest :manny: What I do off work hours is my business :patrice: The only reason they fired him imo is Andrew Cuomo was out there touching on women like a creep and CNN couldn't have their main news caster that they put on TV every night being associated with that sort of thing :manny:

Lemon....I don't like him really....I felt he worked well with Cuomo there but, I don't care about him enough to defend him :heh: I feel like they could've worked this out without firing him but, oh well. Tough break nikka.

They really had an Indian on their show trying to spew white supremacy talking points
and they expected Don Lemon to not challenge him or be provocative

This whole normalization of the overt nonsense from the conservatives is exactly why Fox News is in trouble now
CNN trying to dip their feet in it too and failing

There were only two black male anchors on CNN: Don Lemon and Victor Blackwell. Blackwell got demoted back to weekends, and Don Lemon got demoted for months, then unceremoniously fired.

CNN must stand for See No nikkas. :mjpls:


nikka ain’t even try to make the C & S match up :laff:
