The Face of CNN
From local news anchor to cable superstar, Don Lemon’s tumultuous path has led him to become the face of CNN. Lemon’s unique on-air style and journalistic integrity combines for incredible ratings.
Don Lemon is must see television.
The CNN anchor is not an ordinary journalist. Lemon provides his point of view when deemed necessary.
Don Lemon polarizes audiences with his on-air style. He’s able to gain their attention by showcasing his own true self. Today, most broadcast journalists operate like robots.
Unlike other journalists, Don Lemon is not a robot. He is willing to take chances on air.
Many critics viewed Lemon’s interview as “Islamophobic.” However, I could understand where Lemon is coming from. He is asking a general question to clarify any stereotypes about Islam.
Some Americans are fearful of Islam and Muslims. The response from Aslan helped clear any potential negative stereotypes of Islam.
It is important to address uncomfortable topics. Lemon pushes boundaries to get answers. His ability to push boundaries resembles the likes of Cronkite or even Murrow.
Most people do not want to acknowledge Lemon’s abilities. Before even watching his full segments, social media users leap to conclusions about Lemon. These social media users desire to see Lemon fail.
Americans are not used to Lemon’s style. They are used to bland journalists who do not generate conversation.
It’s sad to see people misjudge Lemon. Critics of Lemon do not look deeper. They do not seek to understand his on-air style.
Lemon is negatively portrayed by people who do not understand broadcast journalism. It’s sad that viewers are hating on greatness.
After Lemon’s career is over, maybe people will finally start to appreciate him.
