Don Lemon sounded off Thursday night, insisting that his new job co-hosting CNN’s morning show is a “promotion” — even as the network axed his primetime show. REUTERSBut Lemon told viewers Thursday that the move to the new morning show was his choice. Only MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow pulled out a fifth-place ranking with 2.7 million viewers, lagging behind Fox’s “The Five” (3.4 million), “Tucker Carlson Tonight” (3.3 million), “Hannity” (2.9 million) and “Jesse Watters Primetime” (2.9 million). Berman and Keilar will remain at the network, Licht said. CNN told The Post that the network will be making an announcement on who will replace Lemon in the next few weeks.
