CNN Edits Out Oscar Winner's Slap At Don Lemon For His 'Past Her Prime' Insult
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/13/2023 10:10:44 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

In a transparent attempt to protect beleaguered co-host Don Lemon, CNN This Morning committed very flagrant bias by omission.

At last night's Oscars ceremony, Best Actress winner Michelle Yeoh, 60, capped her acceptance speech by saying [video]:

"Ladies, don't let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime."

Yeoh's statement was a clear slap at Don Lemon. CNN recently suspended Lemon and subjected him to sensitivity training for having insisted that Nikki Haley, 51, "isn't in her prime."

But in CNN This Morning's Oscars coverage today, the show cut out the part of Yeoh's speech in which she uttered her "past her prime" shot at Lemon.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins were very offended by his “past her prime” remarks. Were they upset this morning that CNN suppressed Yeoh’s slap at Lemon?

CNN doesn’t report the news, the lie and shape the narrative to fit their view on the world, mostly leftist activism.

I’ve been watching Michelle Yeoh for decades, all of her is simply Prime.

EEOA is a pretty crummy movie but good for Michelle Yeoh for winning.

Don Lemon: Aw come on, that doesn’t count! She’s [Chinese]! (Malaysian, actually)

CNN’s role is to provide the launchpad for the MSM narrative. There may only be 12 people watching but that does not matter. AP and CNN are starting points and it’s no coincidence they are the worst of the rat spinners.

Yep, along with NYTimes and WaPo - then the brain dead lefties have their talking points.

I saw the trailer. Not even remotely interested. Even if free in my home.

It looks like someone through a pile of rubber penises at her.

But we now know who is higher on the victimhood hierarchy. Gay black higher than Asian woman.

Michelle Yeoh performed all her own stunts in her early Kong Fu movies. The outtakes from the “super cop III” movie with Jackie Chan showed her getting injured

She was both a babe and a badass.

I watched the whole thing when it came out and it’s 40 mins too long . Michelle and Shortround were good in it, and the movie should have been about their marriage instead of the annoying daughter.

As Dan Bongino always says, they are telling a Story not The Story.
