Don Lemon rages against Time magazine over Trump ''Person of the Year''
2024-12-14
[NYPOST] Former CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
host Don Lemon blasted Time magazine as a "joke" after it revealed President-elect Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
as its Person of the Year.

Lemon hosted a TikTok Live in which he referenced the long-running publication for honoring Trump after winning the 2024 presidential election and overcoming both felony convictions and liquidation attempts.

"For marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America’s role in the world, Donald Trump is Time’s 2024 Person of the Year," the magazine wrote.

Lemon was furious at the decision, attacking the magazine for picking someone who he said doesn’t stand for democracy.

"If they wanted to make someone Person of the Year, I don’t know, they could’ve done it with any person. They could have done it to someone who actually stood for democracy, who stands for democracy in the country," Lemon said.

#3  Well, yeah, Time Magazine has been a joke for a long, long time, possibly from the first day it was ever published.

I also find humor in people like Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg making pilgrimages to Mar-a-Logo. And did you hear the one about Amazon donating $1 million for Trump's inauguration? Funny.

#2  What is offensive is that a “news” organization paid a moron like Don Lemon as an on air talent for decades.
