NY Times Lets Don Lemon Imagine Himself as ‘Black History,’ Rosa Parks, and Bill Buckley
23rd March 2026
he New York Times Magazine is clearly inflating Don Lemon’s already massive ego with a story titled: “‘I Am the News’: The Absurd Drama (and High Stakes) of the Don Lemon Affair.”
Times writer Matt Flegenheimer implies that Lemon isn’t exactly the best example of journalism and that he’s remarkably stuck on himself. The absurd drama seems to be how both sides of the Trump wars have made Lemon’s post-CNN career.
