Why does CNN keep Don Lemon? Apparently the employees want to know too.

[Orangeclad]

But hey, if they fire him, WHAT WOULD THE OPTICS BE? Because folks, the REASONS no longer matter. It's just the optics.

The world has gone to hell in a handbasket if you can't fire a complete asshole because he's black.

Yeah, I said it.

edit: My buddy just told me he's gay too, so that dude ain't never getting fired.

Worse than the optics of keeping him?

I'm thrilled CNN keeps him, it tells you everything you need to know about CNN as a 'news' organization to keep around a guy that was literally named the 'worst journalist' in 2014.

I love the fact that everyone knows @kalimgoodman @RayGravesGhost and @Uniformed_ReRe are Hiden supporters, for the same reason.

As far as I can tell, the only people here who actually watch CNN are the Trumpers.

I don't care who watches them. I just don't have a problem with them keeping lemon.

LOL. I used to watch the morning show from time to time but can’t understand why they thought putting Don Lemon on was a good idea. He’s unwatchable.

 

[GatorTheo]

Why would they fire him? He's perfect for CNN.

I watch CNN with the same ferocity I watch The View. The only time I see either is when Mark Dice clips are making fun of them, which is quite frequently.

My television NEVER hits those channels

A gay black guy? He will be Spokesman for illegitimate POTUS China Joe soon - JUST SAYING!

Lemon is unwatchable. He's cringy and sometimes misses the point wildly. And let's be honest, if you're a host on CNN, and you miss the point like that...you're wrong about being wrong and yet you are still VERY wrong.

Mine either. Mark Dice replays "special moments" on his podcasts and comments on them. His job must kind of suck to have to watch that drivel to get his hilarious takes. 😂

What part bothers you more, the fact that he’s gay or being black? Inquiring minds want to know.

One of my favorites of all time was the BBC reporter rendering him speechless.😂

He Cuomo where the 2 dumbest men on cable news

 

[Uniformed_ReRe]

You guys are making my point: the people you assume are mindlessly obeying CNN, MSNBC, The View, etc., aren’t watching this stuff. The audience demographic for cable news is much older than the US average and more likely to be retired.

You mean "able to afford cable?"

Chris Cuomo is the roidy dude in the gym that's in love with his reflection and stays in the vortex where the most mirrors are.😂

He can't help being black.

Well, he probably can't help being gay either but that's a different subject. Could you be gay if you wanted to?

I think you’ve got a good shot. I hear she’s into antiGun, senior citizen IT nerds.
