Why do some commenters think it's okay to insult Kaitlan Collins' appearance? I don't see anyone talking about Don Lemon's jaw or whether his lips are thin or not, or saying he's hard to look at. Disgusting!

Because WH correspondent is meant to be straight-shooting, detached, just-the-facts...with no personality. It made no sense to have someone who excelled at that and bring her into the morning talk show, which is more about banter than news, etc.


this is exactly it. I'm sure she aspired to more but she was so good at it.


She excelled at it during the Trump WH because they saw her as one of them and gave her scoops. She's not really a journalist - she's a right-wing mouthpiece.

I posted a different thread about KC being ill suited for anchor, while being amazing as White House correspondent. So, ITA! I knew going in that this was a bad decision. KC was a fill-in anchor once or twice over the years. It’s just not her thing, sorry to say.

Conversely, I think Abby Philip has made a nice transition from reporter to anchor. Not everyone can do it.

I will admit to being a big Cuomo/Lemon fan from back in the day. I loved their banter and candor in the evenings. That said, Lemon is not a share-the-spotlight type of anchor. (Don benefited from Chris’s popularity, which is why that worked.)

It’s obvious that he hates having to be a part of ensemble anchor team. It’s uncomfortable to watch. He is so damn disrespectful to those ladies. He constantly cuts them off, and he’s outwardly dismissive of their opinions. I recall one time he cut off KC with a flip of his hand while saying something dismissive like, “No, that’s not it.” It totally shocked me. I also saw that December 8 incident live.

I feel so bad for KC.

I wonder how long this debacle will last.

You don’t like her square jaw and thin lips


She’s grating, inauthentic and conceited. It does not play well on tv for any length of time.

More hit pieces leaked to News Corp rags. Didn’t Collins work for Tucker’s rag? Sure seems like someone is trying to get her colleague fired..

Don Lemon is pretty funny and charismatic when he's not doing "serious journalism," so I think a morning show will actually be a more natural fit for Lemon's persona.

Don will be the Funny Man, Kaitlin will be the Straight Man. I can see it working!


+2

Let’s hope they have chemistry
