What’s Happening:
We know that many mainstream media news outlets, despite their size, are struggling. Americans have turned their backs on traditional media, because of their wild, left-leaning bias. And in recent years, they’ve been proven right–when some of these outlet’s hosts do unthinkable things. One of these hosts was caught behaving very inappropriately, but we didn’t think he’d face the consequences. Until today.
From NBC News:
Don Lemon was terminated from his anchor role at CNN, he announced Monday.
The news comes after Variety published a story earlier this month on allegations that he mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career there. And earlier this year, he faced backlash over widely criticized comments he made on-air.
CNN moved Don Lemon after he was accused of mistreating his female co-workers. He lost his primetime show and then was removed from his co-hosting jobs. Now we know that all that bad blood was enough for the network to dump his sorry butt. I’m sure few of you are upset to hear this. But you might be shocked about this other, recent firing.
From Daily Caller:
Fox News announced Monday that it is parting ways with Daily Caller co-founder and Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” Fox said in a statement. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
This was shocking to the millions of viewers Tucker brought in for the “fair and balanced” news network. These days, Fox News needs every break it can to keep conservatives on board. So, to “part ways” with one of their biggest names appears shockingly idiotic.
It didn’t even seem as if Tucker was expecting it, given the final segment of his last show.

Fox appeared to drop him without giving him a chance to say goodbye to his viewers. Tucker didn’t seem to even be aware that he’d leave the network on Friday, saying he’d be back this week. We’re not sure why the network would be so stupid as to fire one of its top hosts.
It is possible they were getting heat for his J6 bombshell reporting. Both RINOs and Democrats on Capitol Hill were outraged that the host destroyed the left’s false narrative of that day’s events. Perhaps the network, which is more liberal than most people realize, wanted to get rid of Tucker after that.
Or, perhaps this has something to do with the network’s recent lawsuit with Dominion. Fox News had to pay out big over a case brought against them by the scandal-ridden software company. They reportedly lost over 1 billion dollars. This could have forced Fox to cut some of its budget.
We don’t know. But this doesn’t bode well for Fox News. They killed one of their golden geese. They might soon regret it.
Key Takeaways:
- CNN finally fired Don Lemon after a long history of scandalous behavior.
- Fox News shocked viewers by suddenly announcing it “parted ways” with Tucker Carlson.
- Carlson was a top host for the network, bringing in millions of views.
