CNN just fired him.
Seems like the networks are getting rid of their extremists.

Lemon's show was a failure, the ratings were terrible. It's really not even worth comparing Lemon to Tucker. It's two different worlds. One guy failed to entertain, the other had the most popular news show on TV and managed to bring a $800M settlement against his company. Lemon's politics are simply not of any concern in this matter.

CNN was trying to be a bland middle of the road broadcast and hired lemon to be that.
the business model is failing, because NO ONE wants to watch middle of the road opinion. they could potentially make it as a down the middle NEWS since we no longer have any cable NEWS.
but for commentary and opinions people want the extreme so they watch fox or msnbc.
what lemon was hired for failed. the executives failed... they needed a scapegoat and lemon was it.
plain and simple. its not lemon himself, thats what he was hired to do, but they can point to him say its his fault and get a chance to retool. MAYBE we will get lucky and have a 24 hour news network instead of just ANOTHER Boring opinion network.

Only if you're famous and you have that specific type of job . My employer will never fire me for saying a woman is past her prime . It's funny to me when people see shit like this happen to super famous people who sit in front of a camera all day say " that's going to happen to me too " . It won't .

Not true at all. You don't have to be famous. A relative of mine is a school teacher. She is constantly having to watch what she says and bite her tongue. That's just one example. This issue is ubiquitous. If you don't think so then you're part of the problem. Regular people get cancelled every day.

No it can't.
You know why? I don't routinely make disparaging comments about groups of people over characteristics they cannot change.
That's what I don't understand about conservatives. When you say something like "well, it'll happen to you too!" This overwhelmingly happens to people that make jokes at the expense of a marginalized group, and then it stopped being okay to make those jokes. Like you used to be able to make fun of gay people, and now you can't. Well, you can, it's just nobody else thinks it's funny.
But there were plenty of people back then that didn't make fun of gay people, correctly recognizing that even if it is socially acceptable, it is a shitty thing to do. So I am in no way concerned about being "cancelled" for my views. I don't punch down.
Edit: the fact that you took the time to say "it will happen to you" makes me think that you are, if fact, aware on some level that you have said or done shitty things that you maybe aren't all that proud of but also aren't willing to take back, because they are still socially acceptable.

Except I'm not a nationally broadcast tv personality, communicating things to millions of people,nor am I a school teacher who has the responsibility of teaching minors. Both require some higher standard to be held to than myself: a ground guy in a tree crew. Best believe though if I said some foul shit around the customers my boss could potentially fire me and would be right to do so.

As the Official Ambassador for this subforum, lemme tell you the majority of us are aware of the history of US government crackdowns on speech, in the media or elsewhere, assuming that’s the “slippery slope” you’re alluding to.
Don Lemon getting canned for being a dumbass is not HUAC 2.0

Just because it's a private business doing it and not the government doesn't make it any less slippery. We can agree to disagree.

Yeah! Pretty soon we won't be able to say any offensive shit we want to anyone we want without any consequences whatsoever! Is that the kind of world we want to live in?
Seriously though, you could have always been fired for saying stupid shit on company time. Or punched in the mouth, for that matter. Nothing has changed.

Also, youngsters? This forum is geriatric as fuck, bro.

Don Lemon has the IQ of an actual Lemon. A lemon however is zesty and refreshing when squeezed into lemodade, which Don Lemon unfortunatley is not.

No we can’t, because private business and the government have historically had a relationship with one another.
I’m not disagreeing with you premise, I’m disagreeing that Don Lemon’s firing is an example of that premise.
Assange being persecuted is a good example, because he did a media thing the government didn’t like, and then governments AND corporations went after him.
Phil Donahue was fired by MSNBC for being against the Iraq War.
Marc Lamont Hill was fired by CNN for being critical of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.
These are good examples. Don Lemon putting his foot in his mouth is not.

Weird how they didn’t stop doing the criminal activity that blew up the global economy.
Wonder why they didn’t piss themselves over liability for those crimes. Almost like they knew the state would act on one and not the other.
Kinda like firing Donahue or Hill means MSNBC and CNN knew they’d be losing access if they continued to let those two broadcast rhetoric that’s harmful to the goals of the US government.
Again, this is a real, historical phenomenon. What some people are missing is that firing Lemon has nothing to do with the deep state. I doubt Tucker’s firing has anything to do with it either.

most of what assange has published has been brought to him because he does this kind of journalism. when he made wikileaks there were atleast a dozen webpages which did exactly what wikileaks did, but you couldnt tell what was legit infos and what was just bullshit. so what assange did was put together a system for people to share info, so long as they could prove the authenticity of the info. the goal is to take down all governments equally...none specifically.
turns out doing something like that will paint a target on your back.
assange on a personal level, is a complete asshat. worthy of all of your ire. however, as a journalist, he is a hero.

assange hung out with hackers since he was a teen, he was never very good at it. but he was in l0pht chatrooms, and cult dead cow chatrooms, and yahoo chatrooms.... where alot of very skilled hackers hung out.
i promise you that assange on his own isnt much of a hacker at all.
getting caught doesnt make you a good hacker... no one respects kevin mitnick either. lol.
the charge for him hacking is silly and if you read the article YOU posted all it says is that he agreed to break a password.... didnt say he did it ... but brute force is easy once you have the access.
manning however didnt need a password, so the charge seems a bit stretched. i think they are reaching as manning had the authority to see all the infos and was mainly just feeding it to assange to publish.
cracking passwords is low level drivel. and most of the government stuff was so far behind the times back then it would have been VERY simple (no such thing as two factor, it rarely even got reported when you entered the wrong password).
assange just took documents that manning had as part of thier job and published them to the internet... every other charge is the US attempting to put up a charge the UK is willing to extradite over.
just trust assange is no hacker.
