🦍 news host layoffs
a couple of prominent news hosts have been let go from both fox news and cnn, and other news outlets have been shutting down or undergoing layoffs as well. with these developments, i thought it would be fun to give you a little run down
🦍 tucker carlson and fox news
first of all, tucker carlson, host of tucker carlson tonight on fox news, was abruptly fired on monday. he was apparently unaware of this decision over the weekend and had no “goodbye” broadcast where he could give his last words. what with fox recently losing to dominion in the recent lawsuit, fox could have felt tucker was a liability
tucker is a highly watched figure in the media and many in the gop rely on him to get conservatives to side with their politics. i think he’ll find another outlet platform to exert his influence soon enough, though – maybe daily wire will hire him, idk
🦍 don lemon and cnn
don lemon, host of don lemon tonight at cnn, was also abruptly let go. he even went to his social media afterward and revealed that the network didn’t even sit with him to discuss his departure (cnn later said they provided the opportunity but he refused)
lemon previously had made sexist and ageist comments regarding nikki haley (republican presidential candidate) that she was not “in her prime”, which, according to him, is their “20s, 30s, maybe 40s” – my bet would be that this was the reason for the firing
🦍 other news layoffs
there were a few other news media related layoffs and shut downs
buzzfeed news shut down and now they will no longer run that division (so just quizzes about tv shows, i guess?)
nate silver, founder of fivethirtyeight was let go from abc (due to disney layoffs)
