It's crazy how much CNN added to their article about the firing of Lemon. Originally it was just a simple article saying Lemon was no longer with the network.
All of this was added after they had to refute his original tweet.
All of this was added after they had to refute his original tweet.
In a statement of his own, Lemon said his agent told him Monday morning that CNN had terminated him.
“I am stunned,” Lemon said, arguing that management did not have “the decency” to inform him of his firing directly. “At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network,” Lemon added
CNN rebutted Lemon, calling his version of events “inaccurate.”
“He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter,” the network said in a statement.
Lemon joined CNN in September 2006. Prior to “CNN This Morning,” Lemon hosted the prime-time show “Don Lemon Tonight” for more than eight years. He gained significant fame during the presidency of Donald Trump for his no-holds-barred commentary about the former president, pushing back against his lies and calling him a “racist.”
He was widely criticized for sexist comments he made on “CNN This Morning” in February. During an on-air discussion about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s proposal that older politicians take competency tests, Lemon argued that the 51-year-old Haley “isn’t in her prime.”
Lemon said a woman is only “considered to be in their prime in 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.” Co-anchors Harlow and Collins pushed back, but Lemon doubled down on his point.
Licht later sent a memo to CNN staff, calling the comments “unacceptable.” Licht said he had a “frank” conversation with Lemon, who apologized and was set to participate in formal training sessions
“It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with … fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes,” Licht said at the time.
“When I make a mistake, I own it,” Lemon told staff during an editorial meeting. “And I own this one as well.”
Earlier this month, Variety published a report detailing allegations of misogyny aimed at female coworkers. Lemon denied the allegations.

Yall think this has something to do with the settlement?
Seems highly unlikely they would willingly part with their biggest cash cow.

Rupert is a deplorable scumbag but he doesn’t want to come out of pocket almost a billion dollars (assuming the other lawsuit settles) for the idiots that are on his network. That settlement hurt them no matter what anyone says and he knows clowns like Tucker would never play ball on not doing stuff like they did in the future. I expect Drunk Shapiro and Laura scumbag to be next if they don’t shut up.

Their biggest cash cow isn't worth $800 million, or the possible billions they'll have to shell out to Smartmatic. O'Reilly was once their biggest cash cow and look what happened to him.

Tucker was one of the biggest voices that cost them 800mil and he did it while privately criticizing the hell out of Fox leadership and prominent Republicans.
Getting fired over the weekend and finding out on Monday from Twitter probably isn't half of what they really wanted to do to him.

Damn, so it is really looking like Lemon got in trouble for pushing back on conservative BS
He probably did enough to get him fired over the years, but him challenging clear nonsense shouldn't be one of them

So for now it’s only Tucker Carlson out at Fox?
Hannity and especially Maria Bartiromo were easily just as much at fault for getting Fox in all this legal trouble.
