Even as news was breaking Monday that Tucker Carlson was parting ways with the Fox News Channel, another cable-news anchor, Don Lemon, announced on Twitter he had been fired by CNN.
“I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned,” Lemon wrote. “I am stunned.”
“After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.
“At no time was I ever given any indication that I would not be able to continue to do the work I have loved at the network. It is clear there are some larger issues at play.

With that said, I want to thank my colleagues and the many teams I have worked with for an incredible run. They are the most talented journalists in the business, and I wish them all the best.”
