Lemon did not provide a reason, other than to note “it is clear that there are some larger issues at play.”magazine published a story this month alleging Lemon had mistreated female colleagues during his career at the network. Earlier this year, he also came under fire for saying that Republican presidential nomination candidate Nikki Haley, who is 51, was not “in her prime”.“I was informed by my agent this morning that I have been terminated by CNN,” Lemon tweeted. “I am stunned.
Far-right Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene characterised the move as a sacking, warning that “cable news is about to be taught a lesson after Fox News caved to the woke mob and fired Tucker Carlson.”The Dominion lawsuit was the most-scrutinised media libel case in decades, with troves of pre-released emails and text messages exposing the extent to which Murdoch, company executives and high-profile presenters helped promote false claims about the election despite knowing they were not true.
