CNN on a post-Trump sugar crash

Lemon, for his part, is putting on a brave face, claiming it’s more important that Biden is president than CNN enjoy good ratings. "No. I’m not worried about it,” the anchor said in a recent interview with the New York Times, referring to his network’s decline in viewership. “Trump was a horrible person. And he was terrible for the country. And it is better for all — for the world that he is no longer the president of the United States.” Lemon adds, “So if that means that cable news ratings go down? Aww. So I’m not really that concerned about it. I would prefer that my ratings go down and Trump not be in office than my ratings be sky-high and him be there. That’s the honest truth." Don’t kid yourself. The moment Trump reemerges in a big way on the national stage (and he will), Lemon and his cohort will be all over that story like a fat kid on a Skittle. Because if there is one thing they developed over there at CNN over the past five years, it’s a taste for that sweet, sweet Trump sugar high.
