Yeah, I hadn’t been following closely but I had kinda been under the impression that they’d already let him go after that “past her prime” thing. Better late than never.

I guess reading between the lines, Lemon out and Carlson in at CNN?

With CNN’s lurch to the right, that is unfortunately a possibility.

It sounds like he’s just been ignoring HR saying he’s been fucking up, for years.

Perhaps his career was swallowed by the same black hole that got MH370

CNN definitely saw a stealth opportunity to slide under the main news of the moment (the TV dinner guy firing).

I dunno…it seems to me that they’ve actually kind of linked the two, so that if people talk about Carlson they’re going to also talk about Lemon.

I was buying ganja from a friend who was watching CNN at that very moment. He and my BF and I were laughing so hard at mr swanson, who was obviously out of his depth.
N.B.: mr swanson’s depth is roughly equal to that of a very small, evaporating puddle.

Not saying they want that, just saying that it doesn’t work out as a “stealth” move, IMO.

Ah okay. Yeah, it seems likely to me that the timing is just a coinkydink.
