CNN's New Boss Announces Significant Demotion for Uber-Racist Don Lemon

As CNN continues to shake things up, the network has announced that Don Lemon will be losing his prime-time show on weeknights and will instead co-anchor a new morning show with Poppy Harlow and White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins.

This marks one of the biggest programming changes so far under Chris Licht’s leadership, which began in May when he took over as CNN’s new chairman, The New York Times reported.

The move means a big refiguring of CNN’s morning programming and also the end of the “Don Lemon Tonight” show, which ran for eight years on the network, The Wrap reported.

Morning shows have been a big success for Licht in the past, as he created MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show and then also helped reconstruct  “CBS This Morning,” CNN reported.

Now, Licht is doing similar work at CNN by creating a new morning show with Lemon, Harlow and Collins.
