for cnn that the new ownership has. that s david zaslav and chris likt now the ceo of cnn, they never wanted don lemon certainly in prime time i think they figured out a situation that they thought might work for him at the morning show it s very clear it did not he ran i don t think he liked sharing the limelight. i think he sort of stepped into a lot with the nikki haley comments which were memorable, but the you know, the failure of don lemon and his sort of fall from what, you know, for a while there he was the most popular host on that network, is a failure of management above all else, and this idea this sort of spat that s happening right now between cnn pr and don lemon, look, chris licht, ceo of cnn asked one of his deputies to call don lemon s agent, who then called don lemon
