CNN Can't Book Smart People With Don Lemon

CNN ought to stop booking people on set with recently demoted tool Don Lemon if they are either smart or not down with his lies. Otherwise, they'll humiliate him and drain whatever credibility remains at CNN.

This week, Lemon promoted the talking point that the British Empire owes reparations for colonialism and that this idea should overshadow Queen Elizabeth's death. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't interviewing Jemele Hill.

Rather, Lemon conversed with British royals expert Hilary Fordwich. And what a mistake that was. Fordwich quickly embarrassed Lemon on his soon-to-be-canceled program.

She responded as follows:

Now, look at his face. He's stunned that someone would dare dunk on him in front of 200,000 viewers:

That video is why CNN has rejected the idea of booking opposing voices on set with shallow pundits like Don Lemon, Alisyn Camerota, and the also recently-demoted Brianna Keilar -- they cannot defend the hysteria they spew.

Misreporting the facts about Trump-Russia, the vaccine, Covid, racism, and violence work only so long as there's no one at the desk to correct the host.

So, we expect a short guest list to emerge for the new CNN morning show. We are thinking mostly professors, New York Times journalists, Cari Champion, and Maggie Haberman types.

You know, people already living well inside Lemon's exclusive bubble.

That's the look of a man who should have been fired but got a chance to fail in one more time slot.
