NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – At The Hollywood Reporter’s event honoring the most influential media persons for 2015 held in New York City, CNN anchor Don Lemon admitted being a devoted viewer of FOX News’ Megyn Kelly saying, “I think that Megyn Kelly is very powerful. I think that she’s very honest. I think that she’s very fair. I think she’s a star, and I watch her every single night.”

Today, Kelly responded to Lemon’s comments saying that she was flattered but can stand on her own without any endorsements from the CNN Anchor.

Kelly also reacted to other comments made by Lemon regarding his own perception of his work as a news anchor. Kelly’s responses are in parentheses:

“I’m there for the viewer (Yeah, sure!) I’m not there for the critics, so let the critics be the critics (But of course they will!)  I have your attention (You wish!)  I’m glad you’re watching (No I’m not!) and I’m glad that I’m moving you in some way — that I’m stirring some sort of passion and debate (Dream on !) I love it (Love yourself!)

Poor Lemon. He may just have jeopardized his chances to move over from CNN to FOX News with his comments, and Kelly’s responses.

CNN FIRES ANCHOR DON LEMON OVER SELFIE

1 Comment

imageATLANTA, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) – A half-naked Don Lemon, news anchor at CNN, took a selfie and posted it on social media. He was immediately fired by CNN.

Many saw it coming. Lemon has earned a controversial reputation as news anchor, asking African American kids to pull up their pants, suggesting the missing Malaysia Airlines plane was kidnapped by a higher power, and asking a Muslim guest on his show if he supported ISIS.  Oh, and did we mention he smelled marijuana while covering the Ferguson protests?

Today, Lemon posted a photo of his half-naked body on his Twitter account showing his scar from the measles vaccination he got as a child. It was meant to promote his prime-time show in which he invited medical experts to discuss the growing controversy over child vaccinations.

CNN, in a prepared statement, said Lemon was fired not because of his half-naked selfie, but for showing his scar from his measles vaccination.

There was a big problem with Lemon’s tweet. Measles shots do not leave scars. Lemon’s scar was from his smallpox vaccination.

CNN REPORTS YET ANOTHER MISSING PLANE

Leave a comment

lemonAtlanta, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) – While search and rescue operations widened over the Java Sea in connection with missing AirAsia Flight QZ8501, CNN is reporting yet another missing plane, this time over the Atlantic Ocean.

Reports are still sketchy, but The Adobo Chronicles has learned that the aircraft in question is the model plane that CNN Anchor Don Lemon used as visual aid during the cable network’s coverage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March of this year (see photo).

Neither Lemon nor producers at the CNN Newsroom know the whereabouts of the toy plane, but they have scheduled some aviation experts to discuss the news at tonight’s prime time broadcast.

The toy plane could come very handy as CNN launched a 90-day, 24-coverage of the AirAsia jetliner that has gone missing and is believed to be at the bottom of the Java Sea.

CNN may have to resort to another visual during its ongoing coverage — perhaps some pencil sketches by local Atlanta artists?
