I just hope they take Don "pandering propaganda" Lemon off the air. Hard to take them seriously as a news source when you see that show.

what if we all just agreed that "teevee news presenter personalities" were a dumb cultural relic of the pre-internet era & as a society moved on from accepting the validity of their entire schtick?
It won't happen. There's a lot of demand for media personalities, particularly from lonely people who like to form parasocial relationships with these celebrities. Pithily put: cable news personalities are to lonely boomers what twitch streamers are to lonely zoomers.
I guess us Millennials are stuck feigning conversations with our morning avocado toast.
