Don Lemon fired from CNN, Tucker Carlson fired from Fox News

Well that's unexpected.

Those two really should start a show together where they just debate/argue/shout at each other regarding a rundown of various news items of the day.

Wouldn't it be funny if they just switched networks?

I’d say Carlson was being held back by Fox News all these years. Now that he’s no longer under their employment, he’ll probably start his own show. He’s gonna kick the establishment in the nuts.

From what I gather, after that 787 million settlement with Dominion, Tucker had to go no matter what. I'm not really a fan of his but he'll be OK and he'll bring his following wherever he goes. Don Lemon, though... it's over. Maybe he can start a podcast. :lol:

Carlson will definitely bounce back given his fanbase.

Lemon really has to try to find his niche without a safety net. Maybe a Comedy Central “news” show? But podcast show seems the most likely option.

When life gives you Lemon...

Tucker used to be on CNN back in the days.

Yeah, a "Crossfire" type show today would be a good thing to see. But it's the one side that always refuses to debate these days.

Never heard of Lemon, what did he do to get bumped?

And yeah, after the Dominion settlement, rumour is Murdoch was personally responsive for Carlson's ousting.

AOC wants Tucker to be thrown in jail.



Also, Trump/Tucker 2024? Whut??? :o

This interview played a role in his firing apparently:

Rumors has it, that this speech might have influenced Tucker being firing.

And that this interview was the last straw for CNN with Don Lemon:

Without saying more than this - does anyone else here recognize the absolute strange timing and awkward balance of this?

Yep, except for figures being of unequal weight to each other.
I would say it looks like it could have been coordinated, but I don't think majority of people care about Lemon. Or at least, I've never heard of him much, unlike Carlson.

No, no - real, regular people are driven nuts by Lemon's BS. But the perceptual bias is there because real, regular people just talk about it or avoid it whereas Liberal's meltdown and go apeshit and call for the death of people they don't like. e.g., you've feel that more people know Carlson because the liberal brain-trust is louder in their complaints and hate.

If I was to be conspiratorial, perhaps in the closed door settlement meetings for the Dominion deal, Dominion demanded Carlson be fired. Maybe Fox said sure, but only if you fire Lemon on the same day we do that.

But that's probably not realistic.

True - I've watched his few segments back in 2020 and liked what I've seen. Heard about Lemon only in passing and never saw him.

Wow...back when the Daily Show (And Jon Stuart) was good...

According to Steve Krakauer, Tucker was once Hunter Biden’s neighbor, and when he heard about the laptop story he immediately knew that it was real because he actually discussed with Hunter about getting sober through emails. Members of the Biden family also confessed to Tucker long ago that Joe indeed did have dementia.
