More People Watch Video Of Fireplace Than Don Lemon’s Live-Stream

Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Modernity.news,

Former CNN host Don Lemon’s new show isn’t going too well since his fall out with Elon Musk, with X users noting that more people watched a video of a fireplace than his live stream.

Lemon signed an agreement to have his show featured on X earlier this year, a deal that enabled him to secure an exclusive interview with Musk.

However, instead of representing a fresh new direction, the show was just a tired rehash of Lemon’s old CNN gig in which he attempted to shame the Tesla founder for allowing “hate speech” on his platform.

When Musk responded by ending the agreement, Lemon immediately ran back to CNN to ludicrously declare his free speech had been silenced and brag that his show would now be on YouTube.

But things aren’t going too well for him there.

“There are more people watching a fake fireplace than Don Lemon’s livestream,” noted one X user, posting a screenshot showing more people watching the ‘cozy fireplace’ stream than Lemon’s own show.

Indeed, a quick perusal of his YouTube channel shows that despite being helped by the algorithm in some cases, most of his shows struggle to get more than 20,000 views, which some even languishing at around the 2-3,000 level.

Respondents on X enjoyed his battle with the fireplace for viewership.

The fire is a lot less grating, and won’t artificially insert its color and sexual preference into every viewing session.

Id rather watch the live feed of the inside of a toilet bowl in a weightwatchers clinic than watch Don Lemon cover “the news”

TBF the fireplace most likely has better advice on vaccines.

My, what a bundle of sticks

To be fair I have used the fake fireplace channel to go to sleep numerous times.

I am assuming people watch Don Lemon for the same reason.

As we previously highlighted, Lemon’s arrogance surrounding the supposed value of his content was so out of control, he demanded a free Tesla Cyber Truck, $5 million up front, and asked Elon Musk to make him the first person to do a podcast in space.

The New York Post reported that in addition to his $8 million salary and $5 million upfront, Lemon wanted an equity stake in X and veto power over any changes in X policy as it relates to news content.

He actually ended up with a lame podcast that barely anyone is interested in watching.
