CNN has parted ways with longtime host Don Lemon.
“Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years,” said CNN CEO Chris Licht in a statement. “We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”

Busy day at cable TV. Don says he was 'stunned' by the news:

Don Lemon "stunned" after CNN fires him

"After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly," Lemon wrote in a statement.

He was becoming bigger than the news he was reading, a cardinal sin for any talking head. This is the least surprising media firing of the year so far. I just hope he doesn't play the race/gay card and continue to hurt the network.

Actually, I agree.

And Robin Meade should also be brought back to host.

That's what CNN should have done, given that sister network HLN was dropping Ness for true crime programming.
