The day so far
Tucker Carlson has left Fox News, reportedly fired on
the orders of company chairman Rupert Murdoch over a discrimination lawsuit
filed by a former producer. Shortly after the popular conservative
commentator’s downfall was announced, CNN said longtime host Don Lemon was
leaving their employ. He, too, said he’d been fired. It’s a big day of news for
the media world, and also apparently a coincidence.
Here’s more to know about today’s events:
- Lemon’s ouster came weeks after he apologized for a sexist remark about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley. She was clearly pleased by the anchor’s dismissal.
- CNN has taken issue with how Lemon described his firing.
- News of Carlson’s departure was greeted with cheers by panelists on The View, a show that’s been critical of him in the past.
