Former CNN host Don Lemon arrested in connection with Minnesota protest
- Thread starter Y2kTheNewOldies
- Start date
Same here!
They aired a couple hours of In The Heat of The Night was in the morning, followed by an hour or two of Matlock middays.
They kept that basic schedule for years (since at least 2001 or so, I think) until they became NewsNation.
Cable TV (well, we had Satellite) was just better then.
A&E actually had shows worth watching (they often aired Murder, She Wrote and The Equalizer, among others).
Nowadays, it seems like every channel plays the same handful of shows in seemingly endless marathons.

Not everyone follows the same path. Cuomo doing something doesn’t mean Don can or wants to do that same thing. There’s currently as much reason to expect Don would go there as to anywhere else or to remain independent. Charting his own path.
Eh, that was one day for 6 hours. Usually they are near the bottom.A lot of people, evidently.

Keep in mind that CNN is more than one channel.
I only see one channel.
What are we considering the bottom. Fox News went there decades ago.
CNN content isn't on Max anymore. And per that article, there are 3 CNN channels: CNN, CNN en espanol, and CNN International. Most Americans only know the one.

Whatever respect people had for CNN was obliterated by the Toobin masturbation incident. Toobin masturbating is representative of what CNN does to its viewers.
Toobin was widely ridiculed in the wake of the incident by, among others, O. J. Simpson, Jimmy Fallon, Bill Maher, Donald Trump Jr., and performers on Saturday Night Live.[27] Irene Katz Connelly pointed out the parallels between him positioning perpetrators of sex scandals as victims in his writing with his response to the zoom incident.[28] Defenders included Tina Brown, a former New Yorker editor, who said that "27 years of superb reporting and commitment to The New Yorker should have been weighed against an incident that horribly embarrassed the magazine but mostly embarrassed himself." Canadian author and journalist Malcolm Gladwell said he "read the Condé Nast news release, and I was puzzled because I couldn't find any intellectual justification for what they were doing."[5]
On June 10, 2021, Toobin returned to CNN as its chief legal analyst. He described his conduct as "deeply moronic and indefensible" and said he "didn't think other people could see [him]", but admitted that this was no defense for his behavior. He said the time he spent off air went toward "trying to be a better person", working on his upcoming book about the Oklahoma City bombing, going to therapy, and working at a food bank.[29]
Zoom masturbation incident
On October 19, 2020, during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, Toobin was suspended from The New Yorker after he masturbated on camera during a Zoom video call between New Yorker and WNYC radio staffers.[5][6][7][8][9] CNN said Toobin "has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted". Toobin said in a statement: "I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers."[25] In November 2020, he was fired from The New Yorker, following an internal investigation by the parent organization, Condé Nast.[26] New York Public Radio, which owns WNYC, indefinitely banned Toobin from its broadcasts and podcasts.[5]Toobin was widely ridiculed in the wake of the incident by, among others, O. J. Simpson, Jimmy Fallon, Bill Maher, Donald Trump Jr., and performers on Saturday Night Live.[27] Irene Katz Connelly pointed out the parallels between him positioning perpetrators of sex scandals as victims in his writing with his response to the zoom incident.[28] Defenders included Tina Brown, a former New Yorker editor, who said that "27 years of superb reporting and commitment to The New Yorker should have been weighed against an incident that horribly embarrassed the magazine but mostly embarrassed himself."

So you're saying an entire company is responsible for the act of one person? Really? Should that apply to everyone?
Most everyone forgot about that incident.
Yeah one Fox News host called for the death of homeless people. This is peanuts compared to anything else
The fact that CNN hired him back again, after that incident, is probably the most telling.
CNN told him to beat it, then realized their mistake!
Would have been really embarrassing for him if you couldn't see anything.

The most important thing about the editorial at the link posted above is the inclusion of part of the interview that Mr. Lemon did with the church's pastor.
