UPDATED: A Major CNN Host Appears to Lose His Primetime Show in Sudden, Perplexing Announcement...?

Before you buy it, read on...Fake news is what CNN does!

 RedState


"CNN’s Don Lemon, one of the most biased “journalists” in news, is losing his primetime show, or at least that’s what it sounded like when he made this weird, cryptic announcement Friday night.

"Lemon pointedly says “this is the last night that we’ll be ‘CNN Tonight with Don Lemon.'” He then goes on to say he “appreciates all the years,” but that “changes are coming.” It’s vague, but it’s not that vague. It certainly seems like he’s losing his show.

"That would make sense, given his ratings are absolutely in the dumpster. As I wrote recently, CNN across the board is down, getting trounced by Fox News and MSNBC. But Lemon’s show is one of the worst (see CNN’s Ratings Enter Smoking Crater Territory). He’s been getting more than doubled up by Greg Gutfeld’s new comedy show, and Laura Ingraham continues to best Lemon by a wide margin in his first hour, as well.

"Shortly after the announcement, though, Lemon added the confusion by saying he’s not leaving CNN and that it’s “not what you think.” . . .

CNN's Don Lemon says anti-Trump rhetoric doesn’t make him biased 

 . . . "Just last month, CNN’s in-house media critic Brian Stelter was put on the spot when a teenage journalist asked about the network’s overly opinionated anchors." . . .

“I didn’t say I was leaving CNN. I just said it was the end of an era for CNN Tonight with Don Lemon.”

UPDATE  5/16/2021:Desperate Don Lemon 'apologizes' after teasing ‘end’ of his show in duplicitous publicity stunt  "Is planting misleading innuendo about oneself a good tool to sell the services of an information provider? In what other product category does one openly debase the quality as a means of gathering attention?

"Tucker Carlson, whose viewership is more than 4 times that of Don Lemon’s, likes to characterize the CNN host as stupid. That label certainly applies to the publicity stunt trick Lemon pulled on Friday night: . . ."

. . . "This is dumbest publicity stunt since the International House of Pancakes falsely claimed it was changing its name to the International House of Burgers, only to reveal a month later that it was a publicity stunt. But at least IHOP sells food, not information. Lemon was debasing his own product with his misleading innuendo."

Jews have been murdered in millions across the world, but no more

Legal Insurrection  "The Jerusalem Post reported the brilliant Israeli ruse that will live in the annals of military and counter-terrorism history:

At about 9 pm on Thursday night, the IDF began assembling ground forces along the border with the Gaza Strip. Some armored and infantry battalions joined the artillery batteries that had been deployed days earlier to pound Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets.

"We're invading Gaza!"
Earlier in the day, the IDF said that a ground offensive was on the table as a viable option for the continuation of Operation Guardians of the Wall. The IDF was hitting hard at Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets from the air but on the ground they would be expected to cause even more damage albeit with greater risk to the Israeli forces.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made his contribution, saying Thursday that the campaign against Hamas was far from over and that more Israeli action was coming.

At midnight, the IDF Spokesperson’s English department tweeted that “IDF air and ground troops are currently attacking in the Gaza Strip.” The foreign media jumped at the tweet, interpreting it to mean that Israel was sending ground forces into Gaza, a major escalation in the current operation and a sign that it was far from over.

Websites of media outlets around the world, including the Washington Post and ABC, reported the incursion. “Israeli troops have entered the Gaza Strip as conflict with Palestinians escalates, Israeli military says,” was the tweet put out by the Washington Post.

The problem was that there was no ground invasion. Yes, the IDF had deployed troops along the border but they did not cross into Gaza. What did happen was in the air where 160 aircraft had assembled for a massive bombing run over the Gaza Strip. Their target was what the IDF called Hamas’s “Metro”, an underground network of tunnels where Hamas stored its weapons and used to move throughout Gaza hidden from Israeli aircraft." . . .  Full article here...

Yes! Israel will prevail because she has Bibi, the IDF, and the spirit and willingness to fight.

And thank you, Ted Cruz, for your unwavering support of Israel. Wipe the floor with Ilhan Omar.

Andrea Widburg  . . . "During the press briefing, Doocy asked the obvious question, which was whether "somebody at the Biden administration or in the Biden administration update this guidance for political reasons."  Jen Psaki responded with an unequivocal "no."

"Well, if politics didn't drive the about-face on masks, asked Doocy, what was the medical or scientific breakthrough that suddenly occurred on Friday to justify this change?

"Psaki, as is her habit, didn't immediately answer the question.  First, and very condescendingly, she put Doocy in his place by implying that he had not been paying attention.  "Well, I know that Dr. Walensky did an extensive number of interviews yesterday to answer exactly that question."

"Nevertheless, Psaki did Doocy the "great" favor of giving a substantive answer.  She repeated information we all already know: that vaccines work, that they are effective against variants of the virus, and that vaccinated people are not contagious.  In other words, she gave was a non-answer because the real question was whether something new had come along and, in fact, nothing had.

"At this point, Doocy could not resist a "gotcha question"." . . .

Poor, Poor, Pitiful Michelle Obama

 Patriot Post

The most privileged woman in America isn’t too happy these days.


. . . "Poor Michelle. Has any flesh-and-blood human ever gotten more universally favorable media coverage than her? Well, besides her husband? This was the woman, after all, whose last unscripted utterance was back in 2008, when she told an adoring crowd, “Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country — and not just because Barack has done well but because I think people are hungry for change.”

"Change, eh? Does anyone think she’d have been “really proud” of her country if the change Americans voted for in the Democrat primary was Hillary Clinton rather than Barack Obama? And the notion of not once in one’s adult lifetime having felt good about one’s country speaks to a bitterness and a resentfulness that’s hard to fathom.

"Soon after she made those remarks, the handlers rushed in and thoroughly remade her. Less sneering and scowling and more smiles, along with plenty of flattering magazine covers. That was 2008. Then, just prior to the presidential election, The New York Times ran profiles of both Obama and Cindy McCain, the wife of Republican candidate John McCain. One of those profiles sounded like it was written by Michelle’s publicist. The other made it seem like Cindy kicked puppies when she wasn’t popping painkillers and lying about her trips to Africa.

"Sadly, the media hasn’t cast a critical eye Michelle’s way ever since. But they’ve done plenty of hit pieces on Melania Trump.

"The mask slipped again in 2017, however, at a marketing conference in Boston. There, Michelle attacked and demeaned women in much the same way that Joe Biden denigrated blacks when he declared, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black!' ” . . .

Michelle Obama: Asking me to help you get something off the shelf at Target might be racist

“I tell this story – I mean, even as the first lady – during that wonderfully publicized trip I took to Target, not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf. Because she didn’t see me as the first lady, she saw me as someone who could help her. Those kinds of things happen in life. So it isn’t anything new.”…

. . . "I reached up, ’cause she was short, and I reached up, pulled it down — she said, ‘Well, you didn’t have to make it look so easy.’ That was my interaction. I felt so good. … She had no idea who I was. I thought, as soon as she walked up — I was with my assistant, and I said, ‘This is it, it’s over. We’re going to have to leave.’ She just needed the detergent." . . . 

. . . " I myself have been asked in the grocery store by a fellow customer to help them get something off the top shelf. You know why? It’s not because they thought I worked there; I had a cart just like they did. It’s because they were short and I was tall enough to reach — just like FLOTUS, who stands almost six feet. That’s her “racism” story at Target." . . .

Target Customer Asks Michelle Obama For Help; First Lady Believes Request Was Racially Motivated   ..."Numerous commenters have pointed out that Michelle Obama stands at 5’11” and anyone at that height would get asked by a shorter person to grab an item off a high shelf for them. Many have also pointed to their own experiences of being asked to grab something from a shelf despite not being black."...

What's the Worst, Most Divisive Thing Michelle Obama Has Said as First Lady? "While delivering the commencement speech at City College in New York City, Michelle Obama notably referred to waking up every day in a house built by slaves. Mrs. Obama never misses an opportunity to bait racism and divide the country. She's made many divisive remarks during her tenure as first lady."  "Which is the worst?"

Obama offers up bitter, depressing, racially divisive commencement speeches  ..."Instead, as Obama demonstrated in two videos streamed on Saturday to high school students and the graduates of historic black colleges, he’s still trafficking in anger, misery, and racial oppression. The man is a serious downer, despite his perky delivery."...
