Shakeup in Cable News: Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson Depart Networks

Don Lemon has been fired by CNN after 17 years on the network. Lemon announced his departure on Twitter, claiming that he was not informed by CNN management. However, CNN has called Lemon's statement "inaccurate" and said that he was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter. Lemon has faced scrutiny for making offensive on-air comments about women and mistreating female coworkers off-camera.
