After 17 years, CNN fires "stunned" Don Lemon without warning [1]

['Mark Frauenfelder']

Date: 2023-04-24

Moments after Fox announced that it was parting ways with Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon tweeted the news that CNN had fired him without warning:

I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN. I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought that 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 that 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.
