DON LEMON RELEASED BY CNN

I can’t say I’m surprised about Don Lemon leaving CNN. There was something up with him for a while, and I guess it finally boiled over.

To me, he started to appear less confident on-air, and then suddenly, he lost his prime-time spot.

He was tossed into an early morning mix with Poppy Harlow and rising star Kaitlin Collins, no longer having his own show. Ouch.

The Nikki Haley thing was probably the final straw. Suggesting that women were only useful for two or three decades sort of hit the floor with a clank. And maybe he just screwed up, but there was enough there for the network to act.

Unlike Fox, CNN has all kinds of talent coming up and they’ve got to make room for them at some point.
