Dude sucks.

I am sure his boyfriend agrees.

He's calmed down now after Trump left.

What did he do?

I really dislike his presentation style. Every utterance and look just drips with disdain.

He even takes uncomfortably long pauses to let the viewer’s shame set in.

He seems to be a very unhappy person.

I sampled CNN in long form for really the first time early in this pandemic. That shit steals your soul, same with all the entertainment shows on the 24 hour news stations.

I think people who watch cable news channels are the most self loathing people on planet earth.

It seems like no one will admit watching them. Every political argument goes like this

That's just what (insert cable news channel) tells you to think!

I dont watch any of the networks!

Someone is watching them, though.

The only exposure I get is CNBC and Bloomberg at work, but the tv is on other side of the room, so I dont really even consume that.

they all have pretty low ratings relative to other entertainment shows.

I watch both sides just to get a pulse on both extremes. Like the border thing, no, Mexicans probably won't be invading your home and raping you tomorrow like Hannity says, but CNN won't even cover it...so the truth probably is somewhere in the middle....

Agreed. That's all you can do. Try to consume stuff from both sides and usually the truth is somewhere in between.

Unless there is some kind of breaking news, I don't watch any of the news channels.

There are more than two sides to most issues, especially given that both parties are owned by big business and operate within the narrow ideological constraints of the neoliberal paradigm.

And the other sides are rarely covered because big business owns and operates MANY of these outlets.

The two sided paradigm purposely keeps people pointing fingers at each other deflecting attention from any other point of view as well.

His transformation--from a rather goofy, youthful-looking 48-year-old to an old-looking frown bot who repeatedly fumbles his attempts to appear wise--happened relatively quickly.

Don Lemon has always been a clown

i keep cnbc on most days, but i check foxnews and cnn websites each probably 2 times a day. its pretty amazing how different they are in their coverage. foxnews right now - still on megan merkle...scroll down to see anything regarding stimulus. on cnn. stimulus front and center. 9 mo ago? stimulus front and center on fox. covid doom and gloom on cnn.

i couldn't imagine spending more than a bit of time watchng one of these channels in the evening or at any time for longer than a half hour.

Sounds like he went to the Illinois School of Broadcasting during the Bernstein and Goff years.

Right, but if one doctor tells you he's gonna give you heart surgery and another tells you he's gonna give you brain surgery but all you need is some foot powder, the truth doesn't lie "somewhere in between".

I liked how he called out celebrities during last summer's riots. But he tends to be sometimes divisive on purpose.

I've always hated him.

I hate the guy that's opposite him on MSNBC. Just a little bit less. So normally I skip the news hour at 9pm unless there is some big news of the day.

I like how she made it seem as though the British aristocracy didn't benefit from slavery.
