Don Lemon says he has been fired from CNN

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.

Lemon announced the news on Twitter, saying he was informed by his agent that he was being terminated.

"I am stunned," Lemon wrote. "After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly."

Lol, it's a good day to cut dead weight. Nobody actually likes this guy, and he's a relic of a period of time most networks are probably looking to leave in the past.

It is. Tucker bringing in the ratings compared to Lemon getting fired with low ratings is not a big deal. However, we also had Bongino getting let go which is three separate huge names fired/leaving in less than a week. Very odd timing.

I think this is all a reaction to the Fox News settlement. Both stations are running this same playbook, and they need to get rid of the people pushing the nonsense.

Even if these anchors get good ratings, they're not worth $800M. They're a liability to these media outlets.

Thank god, hopefully this is a step toward getting rid of clown world.

I sort of disagree. The stations push a lot of nonsense, but Bongino/Tucker seemed to at least report on things that were not MSM kosher talking points.

I never watched Don Lemon so I don't know if he was afraid to go against the MSM grain. I would assume he got fired for bad ratings, but CNN used the misgonystic as a scapegoat. Does anyone who watched Don know if he ever got out of line from what CNN wanted to report?

They both ran the same playbook. It's not like these guys were doing anything different than what they were told. But when there's now precedent for a $800m settlement, it changes how much these stations can push the boundaries of reality. Which is what was happening.

This is 100% related to the settlement. No other expanation. The owners are in damage control.

I find the settlement bizarre. The case didn't appear to be that strong and thought Fox would have fought it. My theory is the settlement was to prevent discovery, which would have opened up the door to more frivolous lawsuits down the road and Fox just wanted to be done with it.

Now that a precedent has been set, I wonder if other stations are going to stop the clown reporting we've seen over the past decade. If that is your point, then yes it is a step in the right direction.
