Don Lemon rejects ‘narrative’ that CNN is moving toward political center
New York Post ^ | August 9, 2022 | Thomas Barrabi

CNN anchor Don Lemon pushed back on the notion that his new boss, Chris Licht, is attempting to push the left-leaning network toward the center – dismissing reports about the shift as a “narrative” concocted by the media.

Lemon, who has frequently clashed with conservatives during his nightly broadcasts, addressed the situation during an appearance on Comedy Central’s “Hell of a Week” with host Charlamagne Tha God.

Charlamagne referenced reports and public commentary indicating that Licht, the new president of CNN, and Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav want to drive the network toward non-partisan news coverage.

I thought Lemon said he was already a fully objective, unbiased “news anchor”?

I reject it too. The fact that he still has a job there proves its still far left propaganda and still a joke.

I reject that narrative too.

A few have said words indicating that, but there has been, and will be NO actual moves toward doing that.

The new guy in charge is full of it when he claims that CNN will go back to reporting unbiased news. If that really was his goal, he should be fired for incompetence because he has not unloaded the bulk of the garbage that Zucker hired including Lemon to replace them with news readers. He has no intention of skewing CNN towards the center.

Demonic Marxism?
The Orwellian Newspeak Hall of Fame?
The international media Covert Obfuscation Olympics?
The All-Time "Pulling-Wool-Over-Eyes" award?

CNN is hideous left wing garbage. First time I’ve ever agreed with Lemon.

So his claim to fame is that he is a black homosexual libtard. BFD, he is still a mental midget.

CNN is as bad as it’s ever been. I had hoped the new management would clean it up, but it’s obvious they’re good with how it is at the bottom of the heap of s**t...
