Don Lemon job suspended. Compare to insurrectionists Hannity and Carlson.

OP edited following comments that Don Lemon has not been fired - apologies!

1. It Says That Conservatives Are Held To Different Standards, I.E. NO STANDARDS

So long as you're towing the Cult line, you are allowed to say Whatever The Fuck You Want.

Other networks will send you on your way if you speak out or make the slightest ill advised comment.

4. Thank you. Yes, but the right will always talk about the liberal media as if the left

control the narrative, which couldn't be further from the truth.

2. I don't think he's lost his job yet. He has been suspended, however.

What does it say about CNN v Fox? Maybe that there is no comparison between the two? CNN for all its foibles and questionable direction at times is no Fox.

[Doodley]

3. Thanks for your reply. I corrected my post. Yes, I agree. CNN is no Fox. As

always, the left is held to a completely different standard.

6. What was the reason that he was suspended?

8. He suggested Nikki Haley wasn't in her prime and promptly apologized.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/don-lemon-won-t-appear-on-cnn-show-after-nikki-haley-prime-remarks-here-s-what-happened/ar-AA17CiG8?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=eff79d893d3446d1a700b25994f6df7b

Haley's speech Wednesday called for "mental competency tests" for politicians more than 75 years old. President Joe Biden is 80 while another GOP presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump, is 76.

Lemon responded on the show Thursday. "She says people, politicians are not in their prime," he said. "Nikki Haley is not in her prime, sorry. A woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s."

10. I guess Don Lemon

won't be back on "prime" time for quite a while...

11. He made an inappropriate comment about Nikki Haley on his morning show

Also this, later the same day: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217656758

It riled up women viewers, and he's been suspended. Kind of dumb and he should know better, but some of us are speculating that maybe he's trying to get fired. This isn't the first time Don Lemon has said stupid/inappropriate things..

5. The difference is that Lemon is a journalist.

Hannity and Carlson are not journalists. They do not exist to provide real information; their role is to deliver propaganda to the FoxNews audience.

The Fox audience does not want real information. When FoxNews has occasionally provided real information, Fox viewers switched to NewsMax and OANN in droves. Fox won’t be making that mistake again.

9. Wow! Very perceptive explanation.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. Absolutely positively ridiculous - he's a staunch liberal. Absurd cancel culture. nt

14. Apologize and move on

Americans are so fucking whiny sometimes its exhausting.
