CNN host Don Lemon disagreed with his boss on Monday night when he questioned the networks decision to air President Trumps coronavirus briefings.
The Daily Beast reported late on Monday afternoon that CNN president Jeff Zucker defended the network's decision to air Trumps coronavirus task force briefings live, despite employees complaining about them.
Citing multiple sources, the Beast reported that Zucker told staffers that CNN viewers should hear from coronavirus experts like Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, who regularly appear alongside Trump at the briefings.
Its a very difficult decision as of now, we are going to continue to carry those briefings, Zucker reportedly told his staff.
But only a few hours after Zuckers comments became public, Lemon contradicted his boss on CNN Tonight by suggesting the liberal network shouldn't carry Trump's daily coronavirus briefings because they've become his "new rallies."
I dont think were witnessing the end of the world, just a very tumultuous moment in history. These briefings are now a central part of that moment and it would seem CNN would be living up to Ted Turners original vision by televising the briefings as they are, Lord said. Not televising them sends the message that whichever network is doing that is into politics, not news.

I question the decision to air Don Lemon.
It would be a shame for those six or seven people to miss DJT’s excellence.
The pinkos who run the so-called “news” media would be praising every step this President has taken — were this President a Democrat.
I can remember when CNN was the go to news channel..
Have not turned it on in years...
Then don’t. With the airports shut down, it’s not like anyone will miss it anyway.
This is not a national emergency, it’s a political football. If it was really serious they would want to work together to solve it. No, they want to use it to further divide us. And it’s working, I hate these F*kers!
Maybe the leftist throngs will still want to watch the briefings, and start watching them on FoxNews. The danger is that they might end up figuring out that CNN has long distorted the “news” and/or reported it so out of context as to be hysterical.
Who cares! Hardly anyone watches CNN anymore.
Americans need to know that we are not in this battle alone. Our good friends Down Under are facing TPT (Toilet Paper Tribulations) of their own. No matter which way your potty water swirls, COVID19 has caused a chitload of problems.
Please note that Coles is a supermarket chain in Australia, and the word dunny is slang for a toilet/bathroom.
Very cute. 8>)

You misspelled “Dumb Lemming”...
Don Lemon is a no talent dolt. On his best day he is boring and unwatchable.
If he didn’t “ring 2 bells”, being black and homosexual,he likely would be a shift supervisor at some fast food chain instead of a failed anchor at the lowest rated cable news network.

Well, we know about Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy's judgement.
I agree. CNN should stop airing our president’s reports and stop sending an operative to his press conferences. That way nobody would have any reason to watch CNN.
I’ll second that, or if that’s already achieved, I’m voting in favor of it.
Look at that picture.....Lemon is the only person I’ve ever seen that can smile and smirk at the same time.
So the talking liars on CNN did not get to sensor our president and they are pissed that they didn’t have that chance.
They can not counter his popularity rising with their constant lies so they wanted him off the air.
CNN big wigs figured out in a hurry what would happen to their ratings if Trump went away.
Someone needs to ask the mad cow about when the USS Comfort is going to arrive at NYC. That hag liar was telling all sorts of lies about that last weekend.
Hey hag, how did that work out for you?
It’s no small irony that a CNN anchor is named after a fruit.
Even to some of those apparatchiks there can be an understanding/realization about being TOO blatant in their seditious activities.

Openly contradicting your boss is bad juju.
