Larry Wilmore Banned From CNN?

Larry Wilmore has been very critical of CNN, particularly at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. Now it seems that he has been banned from the news network. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Anyone who watched Larry Wilmore’s White Correspondents Dinner speech last month can understand why CNN might not have been thrilled with it. There were jokes questioning why Wolf Blitzer is still on the air, to a roasting of CNN’s status as a news network at all, and in particular, “alleged journalist” Don Lemon got a special and biting shout out.

Nevertheless, Mediaite has learned, Lemon personally invited Wilmore to come on his evening show to discuss the speech, the “N-word” and politics. After all, Lemon was clearly good natured about the whole thing as is evidenced by his reaction and the photos he took with Wilmore after the event.”
