‘I’ve heard you … and today I am back bigger, bolder, freer!

Don Lemon, the fired CNN anchor who once probed the possibility that a missing airline jet was sucked into a black hole, has found a new place for a brand-new show, and apparently X marks the spot.
Both Lemon and X, formerly Twitter, made the announcement Tuesday.
“I’ve heard you,” tweeted Lemon, an outspoken homosexual, “and today I am back bigger, bolder, freer!”
“My new media company’s first project is The Don Lemon Show. It will be available to everyone, easily, whenever and wherever you want it, streaming on the platforms where the conversations are happening. And you’ll find it first on X, the biggest space for free speech in the world.
“I know now more than ever we need a place for honest debate and discussion without the hall monitors. This is just the beginning so stay tuned.”
Or its part, X noted: “We’re delighted to announce a new content partnership with @DonLemon for his new project, The Don Lemon Show. The award winning TV journalist will share his unique and honest voice in 30 minute episodes, three times a week, covering politics, culture, sports and entertainment. The show will run exclusively first on X. Welcome Don!”
One commenter reacted to Lemon’s announcement, saying: “All the liberals suddenly love Twitter and ‘free speech’ after their mainstream job gets cancelled. LOL.”
Ironically the same day Lemon got the boot from CNN, Fox News pulled its popular prime-time anchor Tucker Carlson off the air, and Carlson has since been broadcasting his own new show on X.
“Congratulations,” Carlson wrote Lemon regarding Don’s new program. “It’s a new world.”
