In Memoriam: Don Lemon’s CNN Career (2006-2023)

Another Obnoxious Hack Gets the Ax at Once-Respected Network

It’s official: CNN has fired yet another partisan hack. This time, it’s longtime host Don Lemon, who has been denounced by current and former colleagues as a belligerent misogynist. Despite claiming he was blindsided by the news, CNN has called out his lie.

Lemon had been under fire for some time, but his hot seat got even hotter in February when he suggested that GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley was past her prime for a woman. Check out the fact check on CNN’s Don Lemon’s statement about Nikki Haley not being in her prime.

While Lemon’s 17-year tenure at CNN was not particularly memorable from a journalistic perspective, there were a handful of ridiculous moments worth highlighting in order to properly eulogize his failed career.

But Lemon is not alone in his departure from CNN. The network has parted ways with several obnoxious hacks over the past several months under new CEO Chris Licht, including John Harwood, Brian Stelter, and Jeffrey Toobin, who remained employed by the network for almost two years after masturbating in front of colleagues on a Zoom call.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!
