What prompted Don Lemon's critique of CBS and mainstream media credibility?
Good morning, Lemonheads. Did you have your stretch this morning? Did you have your Wheaties or your cereal? Weird thing, it just reminded myself. I had cereal. I haven't had cereal in years. I stopped eating it because they said it was a sugar bomb. But I was like, what the hell? I want to try it. It was in the supermarket for the holidays. I know I'm crazy. I'll get to the news in a second. And I went by the cereal aisle and I was like, haven't had cereal in forever and i was looking it was like the sugar is not as bad as i thought i mean it's not great and so i bought a bowl of frosted flakes a box of frosted flakes and some milk and i have been eating cereal yeah let's see i'm gonna try it not every day but every couple of days i might have some i had some like right around christmas and then when i got back from new year's i had a bowl
Do you guys still eat cereal? Cereal had just fallen from my diet, hadn't done it. So good morning, everybody. Let me know where you're from. I see there are folks, someone's from Philly in here. Oh, can you turn the light on in there, please, in that room? Thank you. There's someone from Philly in here, Corn Flakes. Tell me what cereal you like and tell me if it's still a thing. Someone said I would eat a whole box. I've started a whole thing. Let me know your favorite cereal. Maybe I should get some like Don Lemon cereal with like little logos and see if I can make it tasty and healthy. And I don't know what lemon, I don't know. Maybe there's like a lemon tea flavor. I don't know. I don't know. Colorado, Edinburgh.
Wow. Amazing. North Carolina, Moyock, North Carolina. Someone says Rice Krispies. Anyways, hello, North Dakota. Hello, North Dakota. Hello, cereal is trash, someone says. Hello, Northern California. Glad that you're here. First order of business, you guys know what that is. It is, thank you, I think this is my... Is it not UT or Tennessee University? I did a speaking engagement for them. I may have done their commencement and they gave me this really cool thing and it's very collegiate. So then I put on my collegiate looking hat. So good morning, everybody, Savannah. I see people saying good morning, Nikki. So, yeah. So thank you so much for that. I appreciate you joining us this morning. You know what the first order of business is, and that is to hit the thumbs up and the like.
And because that affects the algorithm, more people become aware of our conversation. OK, and it's an important one. And, you know, I was asking my team today, I was like, should we do two days in a row a media story? But it seems like. That's where it is going. So I just want to, as we get started here, I just want to talk to you for a second. Okay. I just want to talk to you for a second. I don't want to talk as a broadcaster, but You know, I've been in these rooms before. And not as a headline, not as a broadcaster, just as someone who has been doing this a long, long time and knows something, doesn't smell right about this. Just because I've been doing it so long. When I say old people be knowing. So if you've ever watched the news and then halfway through you lean back and you say, wait a minute, what the hell?
What am I watching right now? Like, what is this right now? That's what this CBS rollout felt like. And not confusing at all. A little chaotic, but not so much that. But more unsettling, I think, is the right terminology, at least for me. Because it wasn't just awkward. It's not just awkward. It's revealing. This moment is revealing for the state of the news. And I think CBS right now is exemplary of what is happening with the entire news media or broadcast journalism or corporate journalism in general. And before anyone takes us the wrong way, okay? It's not that I'm going to pull any punches or anything. I want to be very clear. This is not about piling on one anchor because I think that's lazy because you have to figure the biggest, the bigger context here.
Although the anchor is a big part of it. Okay. And that, but just by focusing on that, I think misses the point.
