Big shake-up over at CNN as the new CEO continues on his path to take the fake news network from lies and deceipt back to the good old days of unbiased and honest news. So far, I have to give Chris Licht the credit he deserves for cleaning house since he took over. Numerous controversial media personalities have been sacked or demoted since CNN decided to change directions, and we can now add Don Lemon to the list of disgraced “journalists”.
Lemon wasn’t fired like so many of his previous disgraced colleagues have recently been, but he was demoted from his Prime-Time evening spot to a new morning show, where he will be one of three co-hosts – OUCH!
The New York Times noted the new morning show is Licht’s biggest programming move since being named chair. It comes as Licht is still trying to find a host for the 9 p.m. slot left vacant when Chris Cuomo was fired. And Licht will now need to fill Lemon’s usual 10 p.m. hour, as well.
Lemon will be joined in the new show by midmorning anchor Poppy Harlow and White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins. The new show is expected to start airing in late October.
Lemon is known for his left-wing rants and verbal attacks on former President Donald Trump. Trump had called Lemon “the dumbest man on television” in July 2019 when the CNN host insinuated the then-president was a racist.
Trump repeated his claim about Lemon’s intelligence in January, 2020, by tweeting, “Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television (with terrible ratings!)”
