Why do people dislike Don Lemon??

Any thoughts??

I don't dislike him.

He is exactly the right person for the evening shift on CNN, the cable station that I watch the most along with MSNBC. My only issue is when Don is paired with Chris Cuomo. But, otherwise I like him very much.

I don't watch him - all I've seen is clips that might not be a good representation of his normal behavior. But he can come across as smug and a careless thinker.

 

He was on the Columbia Journalism Review's list of worst reporting of 2014.

He's kind of bland, but I don't hate him.

I neither like nor dislike him.

Doing live TV news is really hard. Don Lemon does it badly.

i believe Demi Lovato might be a better choice for the job. She seems down to earth and Mr. Lemon name says it all

I don't know if he does it to be provocative, but he often likes to play devil's advocate. The problem is sometimes in doing, so he goes against what is clearly sensible.

 

I didn't catch the whole thing (so maybe I'm wrong on this), but when the Charlotte shootings first happened and everyone began thinking it was racially motivated... I think he made some comment/argument about it not being so.

 

I'm indifferent to him, but I can see why people dislike his journalism skills/style.

C'mon, that was a really mindless comment. How was your journalist career; maybe a nanosecond at most. There are empty headed mouthpieces on Fox you can tune into. I doubt you need any assistance operating the TV remote.
