Here today – Don tomorrow.
The timing had all the makings of a TV farce. Just as newsrooms around the world were scrambling to make sense of the shock ousting of another titan of cable news – namely Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox – Don Lemon took to Twitter on Monday to announce his equally sudden dismissal from CNN, where he'd worked for nearly 17 years.
'I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned,' the 57-year-old TV anchor raged in a blistering statement.

“Another titan” ??
Why did it take this long? We all know why. He checks two boxes being both Black and Gay.
Not that it matters. CNN is utterly destroyed and will never come back from what they did to themselves. Any credibility they ever had was sacrificed on the altar of “Get Trump at all costs” long ago.
Gay black man gets fired from a white mans liberal progressive news organization................not a peep from those progressive liberals or for that matter the black plantation owners in congress or the gay community
In summary, it may have appeared to the casual viewer that Lemon’s tremendous rudeness and unprofessional attitude toward a Republican guest may have been the reason he was fired. But of course that wasn’t it. In reality, his dismissive attitude toward a female colleague angered the people who run the network. He had to go.
He was fired because he continued to berate women. There. I just saved anybody from having to read the article
I think Trump’s take that Lemon lips was the dumbest man on TV finally caught up to him. Loose lips Lemon’s firing is certainly the result of the Trump curse.
thank you... Daily mail is usually posted in its entirety. why the click bait on this one baffles me...
And he's complaining?
This is Bipartisan Global Corporatism firing Lemon.
The Business Roundtable of top executives the folks that donate to both major political parties buy politics and don’t like a bad image for the sake of sales at least Lemon not a good team player.
Of course the firing of Tucker Carlson on a much higher level talking about the issues corporate leaders don’t want discussed
What was “blistering” or “raging” about Lemon saying hey I got canned……and not in the way he normally meant it? Who is more of a drama queen, Lemon or Daily Mail?
GROSS!!!
Thank God we got the real reason since there were so many unreal reasons.
Meanwhile, here’s Tucker, living in FL and driving his wife to an early-bird dinner via golf cart, after getting caught referring to some of his viewers as “postmenopausal women”:
If there is a lawsuit, an attorney would grill executives on that matter.
1. Does CNN have a written policy covering workplace harassment and/or prohibiting someone from creating a toxic work environment?
2. If there is a policy, has Don Lemon read it or signed documents to show that he understands the policy?
3. What sanctions does the policy have when the policy is violated?
4. If Lemon has violated the policy, what, if any sanctions have been administered?
5. If Lemon has committed numerous violations of the policy without being sanctioned, what is the reason?
6. Do the executives at CNN understand that if he was exempted from sanctions because he is black and gay, that they have consciously ignored alleged misconduct, that this has contributed to highly negative emotional had psychological harm to others at CNN?
7. Do the executives at CNN understand that if they had a pattern of consciously neglecting to sanction Lemon for alleged workplace violations because he is black and gay, that they are personally liable for harms to CNN employees? In essence, they knew, or should have known that Lemon was abusive, and nonetheless knowingly let the abuse continue without sufficient supervision and sanctions.
Lemon is sour because he got squeezed.
No, he was the trifecta:
1. Black;
2. Gay;
3. Progressive Liberal Democrat.
This is what Corporate America seeks to hire today and especially the out-of-the-mainstream media.
Since you omitted the reason and forced readers to click thru to the DM article, here’s the part YOU should have included in your post...
*********************************************************************************************
‘When you are in black skin and you live in this country, then you can disagree with me,’ Lemon snapped at Ramaswany, an Indian-American man, before repeatedly accusing him of lying and failing to provide evidence.
Everyone is talking about the way he interacted with Vivek,’ one source said. ‘But the way he talked to Poppy at the end of that interview, which kind of got lost in the explosiveness, was not lost on Poppy or the executives.’
‘You can just tell from Poppy’s body language that she was frustrated – and that he’ll never learn.’
Watch the interview closely — and you will hear Lemon appear to rudely cut off his colleague, as she tries to move things along from the confrontation and wrap up the interview.
‘Ok, can we move on now please,’ he interjects, leaning back and buttoning his jacket.
Poppy – seemingly exasperated – turns to Lemon.
‘Thank you,’ she says shortly, and carries on.
‘That is what he was accused of doing over and over again,’ a CNN source said. ‘That was the pattern - dismissing, cutting off, big footing.’
‘And while executives might not have liked the emotional messiness of that Vivek interview, what they really don’t want is the continued allegations of sexism and misogyny. Ultimately, I think that was more damaging.’
You seem upset.
