Shocking Morning on Cable News: Tucker Carlson Departs Fox News, Don Lemon Fired from CNN This Morning

April 25, 2023 by · Comments Off on Shocking Morning on Cable News: Tucker Carlson Departs Fox News, Don Lemon Fired from CNN This Morning 

Tucker Carlson Leaves Fox News: Monday morning brought some shocking news to cable news viewers. Tucker Carlson, a popular and influential personality on Fox News, has “agreed to part ways” with the network. At the same time, Don Lemon, a host on “CNN This Morning,” announced that he had been fired.

While Lemon’s exit is surprising, Carlson’s departure is particularly stunning given his status as a ratings magnet. However, Carlson was also a central figure in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News. As the trial approached, it was revealed that Carlson and other Fox News personalities had made false claims about the 2020 election on air that Carlson himself did not believe. This likely played a role in his exit from the network.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for both Carlson and Lemon, and who will take their places in the cable news landscape.

April 25, 2023 by · Comments Off on Susan Rice to Step Down: Susan Rice Resigns from White House Role 

Susan Rice, who served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has resigned from her role in the White House. Rice had assisted the Biden administration in expanding the Affordable Care Act, getting his Inflation Reduction Act passed, and pushing for gun control legislation.

Her resignation comes as the White House faces controversy over its handling of migrant children who crossed the Southern border.

In a statement announcing Rice’s departure, President Joe Biden praised her as a history-making public servant, citing her unique role as both National Security Advisor and Domestic Policy Advisor. He also praised her for her leadership, urgency, tenacity, bias towards action, and results, as well as for her integrity, humility, and humor.

Rice’s resignation leaves a significant gap in the White House’s top ranks, as it prepares for a likely re-election campaign and a showdown with congressional Republicans over raising the debt limit. According to four people with knowledge of the deliberations, Neera Tanden, a senior adviser and Biden’s staff secretary, is among those being considered to replace Rice. However, a top White House official has stated that no replacement has been identified yet.
