The years-long bromance between CNN’s Don Lemon and former colleague Chris Cuomo is in trouble.
Lemon turned on his old network pal on Monday, as WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar fielded questions during an in-house town hall from disgruntled CNN staffers who are depressed and angry that CNN’s now-former boss, Jeff Zucker, was forced to step down last week.
Kilar was reportedly asked if CNN will pay Cuomo his severance when Lemon jumped in.
"Did you think about what message it sends to the journalists in the company and also to the larger public that someone can be found to break with those journalistic standards and then get paid handsomely for it?" Lemon asked, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ noted that Lemon claimed he was asking "on behalf of people who posed that question to him."
Kilar didn’t answer the question.

Do you think Dan Rather should have received an award for fabricating the story on George W. Bush’s military records, Don?
This isn’t the first time a journalist was “paid handsomely” for breaching a journalistic ethic. In fact, the whole “Trump Dossier” debacle was a breach of journalistic ethics.

Did Lemon ask that when Chris Cuomo was giving his brother tongue-baths on the air in fake interviews?
To: lowbridge
Using those standards, nobody in today’s world of “journalism” will ever get paid.
