Another One: Don Lemon fired from CNN

[AquaCityBoy]

Yeah, I totally buy this.

We know CNN is trying to pivot to appeal to right-wingers, which is precisely why Zazlav and Licht wanted to get rid of Don Lemon in the first place.

They were waiting for him to fukk up again after the Nikki Haley comments and pushing back on a Republican like this when CNN is actively trying to court them was likely the final straw.

You got it confused.

By pointing to the "progress" others have/had fought for black folks over the last century, it is in fact utilized to belittle the fact that black folks have it harder than other races in 2023. Cool we made progress since 150 years ago, but now what?

Continue to make progress?

There's a difference between "we've come a long way but we have far to go" vs the often-repeated 'nothing has changed in 150 years' defeatist diatribe/virtue signaling that is popular in certain circles.

The struggle olympics does a disservice to our progress and also is nihilistic AF

I’ll never forget one of his most iconic calls

Obviously there is weed smoke in the air

If they fired him because he rightfully checked that Indian dude, then that's lame as hell.

 

[Serious]

He’s about to join Fox lol

Lowkey I could see doing it out of spite

 

[Serious]

Was awkward but he stood his ground

I agree

I don’t like Lemon being a black pessimist on progress, but fukk outta here having that guy on the show and not checking his bullshyt.

Chris Licht doesn't want anymore "woke" journalism at CNN

He's been pretty clear on that.

Interesting contrast in the headlines here.

The network isn't going in a good direction for sure

The fact that CNN even thinks doing what fox news is doing and the consequences of that with the dominion case seems lost when all they are doing is chasing ratings now
They aren't going to get higher ratings by alienating their older independent audience and having the fox news crew join their ranks once all the trump era "controversial anchors get pushed out
