AWESOME: DIVERSITY: Another sign that Liberalism is COLLAPSING? – Don Lemon Fired—and Complains CNN Didn’t E ven Tell Him

[This had me laughing a lot. Don Lemon is not "true black". He's actually some kind of mulato (or as we in South Africa would say: "Coloured". He had White ancestry in the past. It seems to me that his comments about the worthless anti-White Jew-loving bitch, Nikki Haley are what has caused him problems. This could also be a sign of the changing times. It seems that everything he has done over the last year has been a flop. It seems to me that all the normal things that used to work in Liberalism, aren't working any more and his ratings have been dropping. So you've got CNN as a SINKING SHIP, but the Coloured, Don Lemon's little boat is sinking even faster than CNN so CNN sank him!!! Hahahaha. That's totally hilarious. Whites, just keep on doing what you're doing. Keep talking, keep spreading the message. This anti-White Liberal shit is SINKING BABY!!! Who thought anything could sink FASTER than CNN hey? Well a dumb coloured can apparently!!! Hehehe. And he's irritated that he's been a "hard worker" for 17 years. Stick around Don Buddy … maybe in another 17 years you'll be picking cotton in the South my man … you'll be doing what nature wants you to do. Jan]

“It is clear that there are some larger issues at play,” the anchor theorized in a fiery announcement of his own exit. CNN disputed Lemon’s comments in a statement.

Don Lemon has been terminated by CNN, the anchor announced on Monday just hours after he’d ended his morning broadcast.

“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned,” he tweeted in a fiery post announcing his exit. “After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have the decency to tell me directly. At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear that there are some larger issues at play. With that said, I want to thank my colleagues and the many teams I have worked with for an incredible run. They are the most talented journalists in the business, and I wish them all the best.”

CNN CEO Chris Licht confirmed the news in a memo to network staffers: “CNN and Don Lemon have parted ways. Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years,” he wrote. “We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”

CNN disputed Lemon’s characterization of his termination in a statement. “Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate,” wrote the network’s PR shop. “He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter.”

CNN This Morning hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, who Lemon hosted alongside, will continue as a duo for the time being, a source familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast.

CNN anchor John King seemed surprised by the news during Monday’s broadcast of Inside Politics. “I don’t know the details happening while I’m sitting in the chair here, but I work here. I love this place,” King said. “Certainly wish Don the best. He’s always been good to me as a colleague.”

“I’m just relieved,” one female on-air CNN personality told The Daily Beast. “I really never thought that there wouldn’t be any accountability right. I mean, these guys are untouchable for the most part.”

The sudden exit ends a tumultuous year for the star anchor, who has seemingly generated one negative headline after another for a network under siege by financial losses and leadership changes.

Lemon was moved to mornings with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins in September, just more than a year after his primetime show was given an eponymous name. It was a move CNN publicly advertised as “no stronger combination of talent” but was privately considered a last-ditch effort to save the anchor’s job.

Then the hits kept coming. CNN This Morning premiered in November to ratings that were paltry compared to its predecessor New Day—and have since not improved. Tensions also brewed between Lemon and Collins, partly sparked by comments Lemon would make on women.

Lemon lamented in December—exactly a month after This Morning premiered—that professional female soccer players shouldn’t be paid as much as male players because the men were “more interesting to watch.” He was roundly criticized by both Collins and Harlow, prompting Lemon to try to backtrack and defend his position by saying “not everybody, honestly, has the same skill.”

“You’re right that not everyone has the same skills because the women have better skills,” Collins told him at the time.

The saga continued throughout 2023, when Lemon was benched for a week after claiming Nikki Haley “isn’t in her prime” to run for president. The moment left both Harlow and Collins in shock and had them both reportedly storm off the set, according to the New York Post.

Lemon later apologized, both publicly and internally, and agreed to undergo internal training over the remarks. Still, his past comments about female co-workers were exposed in a Variety report earlier this month that detailed his retaliatory efforts against female colleagues that he believed usurped him for prominent positions within CNN. The network blasted the report on Lemon’s behalf at the time, saying the story was “riddled with patently false anecdotes and no concrete evidence.”

But Lemon’s behavior, both in past years and in recent months, seems to suggest there was more going on behind the scenes.
