CNN's lack of diversity in primetime is causing some strife with the network's rank-and-file, an insider tells Fox News Digital, saying it's an "urgent matter." Then came Monday's bombshell firing of Don Lemon, who until last year was the only Black primetime host on a major cable network before being pushed onto the newly launched "CNN This Morning." "We need diversity in prime," a CNN insider told Fox News Digital. CNN's communications team fired back that Lemon's account was "inaccurate" and he could have met with management if he wanted. "Laura specifically has been dealt a bad hand and people all see it," the insider told Fox News Digital, adding the diversity issue at night was an "urgent matter to address."
