It’s pretty obvious why Lemon was fired. Carlson


That's pretty obvious too, especially with the news coming out the last couple days.

What is the deal with Carlson losing his show? Was it a mutual thing, he wanted to leave, or the network saying you got to go?



He still technically works for Fox. I can't find the specifics, so forgive me if I am off a little. But I read Fox is buying his silence for the next 18 months for 3 million per month.

Tucker had the highest rated show in cable TV. Tuckers content on Fox Nation is a HUGE piece why Fox's streaming service has been successful when other media outlets streaming platforms failed miserably.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Or does it?

Probably because you're only watching conservative news?

Not true.
Across the board—regardless of political slant—the media is almost entirely focusing on Carlson’s exit from FNC.
I’m not suggesting there’s been zero reference to Lé-mon; but the comparisons are night and day in terms of media coverage.

Why does the entire world of sports talk about an Alabama loss but 50 other teams lose in the exact same day and you don’t hear shite about those other teams losing

Nobody was watching that fricker. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but Tucker was watched by like 30 million people a night. Don was getting like 700k.

Nobody cares about Don Lemon.

Remember when there was a Hannity and Colmes show on Fox. Imagine a Tucker and Lemon show and watch Lemon get raked over the coals every night.

Because the big story with Don is not his firing, but how he even lasted this long. His ratings were complete dogshit. If he were a straight white dude he would've been fired years ago.
