Don Lemon Laughing at Chris Licht's Exit and CNN's Awful Ratings: Sources

[ecstatic]

Don Lemon has enjoyed watching Chris Licht's downfall and was extremely pleased to see him let go this week, RadarOnline.com has learned.

According to sources close to the situation, the fired anchor has been “laughing at Chris’ mounting failures” for weeks and his termination was icing on the cake.

An insider said Lemon has even floated the idea of returning to CNN "to save the network.”

...

Sources revealed that morale at CNN plummeted along with the ratings, which nosedived a whopping 61 percent in March. Overall, ratings have declined 35 percent since Licht took the helm last year.

...

Lemon, 57 — along with Chris Cuomo and even Licht’s predecessor Jeff Zucker, 58 — are said to be overjoyed with CNN's downfall and believe they could make a return to their old roles.

I really don't think their coming back is eagerly anticipated.

7. Yep.

I think of Joe Biden smiling and laughing when reporters ask him about pardoning TFG. So much more effective than saying anything at all.
