CNN, unfortunately, hates fun and has pulled the plug on the boozy festivities heading into 2023.

, and Don Lemon, it’s usually a time to close out a year of covering news by getting drunk on national television live from Times Square. But

During a recent town-hall discussion held by CNN chairman and CEO Chris Licht, staffers were told that the extensive on-camera drinking had negatively impacted the network’s “respectability,” calling into question their credibility as a news source,Last year might have been the final straw for the long-standing tradition.

“Let’s just say I’m having a great time. I am in control,” Lemon said back in 2018 after getting his ears pierced during the New Year’s Eve broadcast. “I do consume alcohol, but I’m never out of control.”

Please let them both pass out drunk and get Don Lemon to fill in. They really suck on NYE.

Boys just wanna have fun 🤩

Who is allowed to go to work drunk? Ffs!!!

Ya know cnn, Kathy Griffin doesn't drink and is funnier of a NYE host than these 2 put together, just saying...

There goes the only reason for watching,

Let these two queens get tanked up..who cares

Andy is no fun without his cocaine. Cooper could do this solo. But how are they suppose to be sober for 12 hours?

Who the F watches CNN on New Year's eve? LOL.

CNN is catering to the Christians

Good. I hate seeing that every single year. A drunk Don Lemon is especially dreadful to watch.

This hurts their brand but giving airtime and oxygen to MAGA cultist doesn’t?

I pulled the plug years ago

Fine. Edibles it is.

This was the only good thing on TV on NYE.

CNN is going into full conservative mode

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that Chris Licht was StephenAtHome 's producer. It's just so bizarre that he went from Colbert to this crap he is pulling at CNN.

Good!! ACooper was such a bore!

Republicans will win the House, CNN projects | CNN PoliticsRepublicans will win the House of Representatives, CNN projects, in a victory that will fall short of their hopes of a 'red wave' but thwart President Joe Biden's domestic agenda and will likely subject his White House to relentless investigations. It was so close. I'm eating pizza rn Play cops and judges instead of actually doing what job you are supposed to and the next election will be even worse for you. Independants/women/young people are done with your bullshit. Florida is always going to Florida but the rest of the country are sick of the fighting.

First on CNN: EPA to propose long-term presence in Jackson due to water crisis | CNNThe US Environmental Protection Agency is poised to propose a long-term presence on the ground in Jackson, Mississippi, to help fix the decades-long problems with its drinking water, a source with knowledge of the matter told CNN Tuesday. What. About. Flint? Wait didn't Biden pass a bill that was and is suppose to fix that? mmmm wonder what happened? ok now back to your narrative and misinformation story. States like Mississippi refuse to maintain their own infrastructure, wait for the feds to come in and pay for it then complain about paying the taxes that finance it. They are leeches off states that do contribute to their own upkeep.
