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.

Disney CEO Calls Florida Governor ‘Anti-Business’ in Ongoing Feud

In the ongoing feud between Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis, and Walt Disney World’s CEO, Bob Iger, the latter has publicly criticized the former for being detrimental to both businesses and the state of Florida.

The conflict started when Disney World spoke out against a controversial Florida law limiting discussions on gender identity and sexuality in classrooms, following pressure from its employees.

In response, DeSantis and his Republican allies targeted the resort, with the governor successfully lobbying for the creation of a new oversight board to govern the tax district managing the theme park complex.

This move has curtailed Disney World’s autonomy, which had been in place for over 50 years.
