Rough day for media celebrities…
The fallout from the conservative news channel carrying the water for Donald Trump’s lies (they admmitted in tesimoney they KNEW it was lies) about voting machines has cost the outfit $700 Million so far…
In the end?
It will cost the place OVER a Billion Dollars….
Carlson isn’t the first jettisoned…
There will be more…..
Tucker Carlson story….
The obviously sudden departure — Carlson gave no indication he was leaving in his last appearance Friday, and the network was still running promos for his show this morning — came less than a week after Fox settled a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, which had sued the network for false claims about the 2020 election. Carlson was among several on-air personalities expected to testify.
Many of Carlson’s private messages were released in motions filed by Dominion, revealing that the host was skeptical of many of the election-fraud claims made on-air by Trump-affiliated attorneys Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

But it was Carlson’s comments about Fox management, as revealed in the Dominion case, that played a role in his departure from Fox, a person familiar with the company’s thinking told The Post.
Notably, Carlson was not allowed back on air to say goodbye to the mammoth audience he had amassed in his years as a primetime host…..

Don Lemon story…
Lemon has had problems with the women he worked on the air with and comments made about women…
Lemon says he was fired…..
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.”
CNN CEO Chris Licht said that the network and Lemon have “parted ways,” according to a memo provided to NBC News Monday.
“Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years,” the statement said. “We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors.”…

My Name Is Jack says
Tucker Carlson is the essence of what today’s Republican Party is all about.
Scott P says
Now Tucker will have more time with his family. Ot more time to jerk off to green M&Ms
CG says
Carlson is said to be deciding between job offers to serve as Press Secretary to either Vladimir Putin or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A compromise to do both may be possible.
jamesb says
Ha, ha, ha……
Putin would pay better CG!
CG says
In all seriousness, a day where both Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon get axed might be the high-point of Nikki Haley’s campaign.
She can call this her Day of Justice and Retribution.
Scott P says
Maybe it
will push Haley up from 2 to 2.2%!
My Name Is Jack says
Yeah Lemon needed to go too.
jamesb says
Lemon had a problem with women…..
Trump WILL be happy with Lemon’s sacking….
jamesb says
Haley polls right behind Pence who is testifying against Trump……
He’s a goner……
CG says
Also, this is the ultimate cable news Triple Crown for Tucker Carlson.
He has now been fired by CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News. NewsNation awaits. (Also, was once voted off first on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”)
My Name Is Jack says
Russia Today ,the Russian propaganda organ ,apparently offered Tucker a job.
Carlson notoriously announced his support of Russia early in its invasion of Ukraine.
jamesb says
Call to Activism
FUN FACT: Tucker Carlson has been FIRED from ALL three of the biggest networks:
CNN cut ties with Carlson in 2005.
MSNBC canceled his show in 2008.
Fox News pushed him out in 2023.
“Congrats to Tucker Carlson upon becoming the first tv host in history to be fired by CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News – the cable tv Triple Crown!” Democrat and Congressman Brendan Boyle tweeted.
Where will Tucker Carlson be fired next?
jamesb says
Good get CG on Carlson’s employment record….
The CTA post give the dates…..
I will post on part of significance of Carlson getting the ‘hook’ later….
Good to see the comments……
Again?
Look at the cost for carrying the water for Trump!
CG says
MSNBC missed a great chance today to get in the mix and fire Al Sharpton.
Somehow, he still has a show (albeit not really watched by actual people) despite being unrepentant about his past and the fatal consequences that were involved.
Scott P says
If you actually watched Sharptons show you would see he’s a pretty even handed guy. So maybe do that instead of believing what is put put about it from the same right wing media pushing for another Trump term.
Following the Nashville school shooting he praised the response of the PD. But nome of your Trumpy news sources covered that.
CG says
I don’t have Trumpy news sources.
It is an historical fact that Sharpton once instigated an anti-Semitic riot in New York City that led to an innocent Jewish man being murdered. In all the years since, Sharpton has expressed zero remorse.
Ghost of SE says
Sharpton is as straight as a razor. One of the few truly above the fray individuals around today.
jamesb says
Rev Al also is NOT someone aspiring Democrats running for president mess with weither some people like it or not…..
Sorter like some of the GOPer’s for Republicans
jamesb says
Rev Al gonna hold on like he has for decades….
Actually made his sidewalk act work to make him a salary……
Ghost of SE says
Coincidence that Don’s lemons and Tucker Carlson leave their network jobs the day after Matthew Perry announces his desire to make peace with Keanu Reeves? One of these men is going to become a “Peace Ambassador”!
jamesb says
Neo is ‘The One’……
He’s also the ‘Bogeyman’
Or ‘WAS’…..
Ghost of SE says
Personally, I’m just sorry I won’t get to prank Lemon on air by claiming to be a Chief Aide to President Carter and that I watched the President get smited by Howard Stern, Babba Booey, and Ronnie the Limo Driver. I was really looking forward to that one aspect of the news coverage.
I guess Joe and Mika will have to do.
Ghost of SE says
Chris Cuomo is still the big star at “News Nation.” That could provide a tantalizing avenue…
Ghost of SE says
Don Lemon out, Charles Barkley IN at CNN.
Ratings may finally be on the upswing.
