CNN Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo

seem to having a difference of opinion lately. I have noticed that Lemon is not very positive about the level of progress against tRump overall while Cuomo seems to be "taking the sunny side of the street" during their handoff this week. Normally I watch MSNBC so I am not sure if this is new or not. Is anyone a regular viewer who can tell me if this is their normal position on all things tRump or not?

I think he seems to be even more like you described him, BigmanPigman Aug 2018 #7
Agreed. He was much more palatable when he co-hosted with Alisyn Camerota in the a.m. Totally Tunsie Aug 2018 #8

He thinks it's all about him, he sees himself as this tough smart interviewer.

I take Don Lemon every day of the week over Cuomo. I won't watch him at all.

then bed time for me. I have watched Cuomo a few times on rerun but not impressed with him. I tape Don Lemon's rerun so I can watch it the next day.

DL is pleasant and charming, and hosts an interesting show. His panel guests are informative, sometimes fun, and complement him well.

Cuomo, on the other hand, seems to try for the big splash...brusque demeanor, argumentative, interruptive of his guests. His overtalk is very annoying, and is something that a good host usually tries to avoid. He's also very cliché with his motto "Let's get at it", and his prop whiteboard that has grown larger over time. The only reason I watch him is that he's the filler between Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon.

Cuomo I mean, since he got the PM time slot. His BIG board reminds me of Glen Beck and his interrupting is like Chris Matthews.
