Don Lemon, the weekend prime-time anchor for CNN, was on the air on Sunday night this month when the news broke that President Obama would address the nation at the unusual hour of 10:30 p.m.
By the time the news network was confirming the reports of the death of Osama bin Laden, however, Mr. Lemon had been replaced by CNN’s chief anchor, Wolf Blitzer.
“I kind of got big-footed,” Mr. Lemon said, with a knowing laugh.
Now 45, though he looks much younger, Mr. Lemon understands the television news business from long experience, gathered through jobs at such local stations as WCAU in Philadelphia, WMAQ in Chicago and WNYW in New York.
So he has no illusions about what he is getting himself into with the book he has written about his career — and life. In “Transparent,” Mr. Lemon has a lot to say about reporting for television and about journalism in general. But he knows enough about news to recognize what will get this book noticed.

I want to read the entire story, but would rather light my head on fire than give the NYT pigs a hit.
So I guess he’s pitching to Anderson when the cameras are’nt rolling. LOL!
his kind make me sick
The night of The Announcement, I thought we were going to be stuck with Geraldo all night -- it took forever for Fox to get an adult (Bret Baier) on the air!
I watched Fox that night and suffered through Whoraldo's cloddish presentation of the 'news'; it was pathetic. I can't believe that liberal creep has fans here at FR.
So gay.
The author "likes" Mr. Lemon. I bet he likes him a lot.

Does anyone care where this weak-minded, self-centered lost human being sticks it?
Once again, the “news” is “the news.”
Rather than “reporting” the news objectively and anonymously, it’s all about them.
This is why they are dying.
He's working for the wrong station then...
Oh, what big news! The biggest news since John Ritter’s Jack Tripper and Tony Randall’s “Love, Sidney.”
Hurt his career, indeed. For all I know, it’s the only reason he has his current gig.
I don’t care that Lemon is gay, but I get really tired of his racism. Everything he reports has a race angle. It’s black this, black that, all the time. When he comes on, I turn CNN off.
It does sort of make sense, though. CNN has become the official network of black and gay causes. It has long ago ceased being a news organization.

1. A spiny, Asian evergreen tree (Citrus limon) widely cultivated for its yellow, egg-shaped fruit.
2. The fruit of this tree, having a yellow aromatic rind and juicy, acid pulp.
3. A flop-wristed nancyboy at CNN.
So this was the twot who kept flipping out the race card against conservatives...and he’s a pole smoker? Definitely belongs with the rest of the sick degenerates at CNN.
I wonder when the media outlets figure that most normal people do not care about some personal details of your life all that much. Perhaps if that was far more the case, they probably just might be doing better. In fact, the fact that I could care less about half the information thrown around on major TV news broadcasts is the reason why I watch so little of it nowadays.
