CNN Cuts Oscar Winner’s Slap At Don Lemon For His ‘Past Her Prime’ Insult

MRC: In a transparent attempt to protect beleaguered co-host Don Lemon, CNN This Morning committed very flagrant bias by omission. 

At last night’s Oscars ceremony, Best Actress winner Michelle Yeoh, 60, capped her acceptance speech by saying [video]:

“Ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you are ever past your prime.” 

Yeoh’s raised fist brought thunderous cheering from the audience.

Yeoh’s statement was a clear slap at Don Lemon. CNN recently suspended Lemon and subjected him to sensitivity training for having insisted that Nikki Haley, 51, “isn’t in her prime.”

But in CNN This Morning‘s Oscars coverage today, the show cut out the part of Yeoh’s speech in which she uttered her “past her prime” shot at Lemon. They could have won a Best Editing Oscar for its artful censorship of Yeoh’s statement. The show began by rolling Yeoh’s final words: “never give up!” Then they showed the beginning of her remarks, in which she addressed “litte boys and girls who look like me.” more
