While his new show’s platform might not be exactly what he had in mind, he won’t be the only ousted anchor that’s trying to revive their once popular programs on social media.
Two days before Lemon’s departure from CNN, Fox News cut ties with controversial primetime anchor Tucker Carlson following a massive settlement agreement with Dominion Voting Systems. Carlson repeated many of the baseless conspiracy theories about their voting machines on his program.
After being fired by his longtime network, Carlson converted his garage into a home studio and announced he would be bringing his program to X. Though the two often took jabs at each other while they were still on-air at their former networks, insiders said the two had been texting after their shocking dismissals last spring.
