...and you couldn't be more wrong Within a mere hour after the bombshell news of Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News, CNN announced Don Lemon is leaving.Lemon, who was long part of the prime-time lineup did a very short but controversial stint as a morning show co-host. "CNN and Don have parted ways," the network announced. "Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors." As for the fate of his morning show which he hosted alongside Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, the network said "'CNN This Morning’ has been on the air for nearly six months, and we are committed to its success." The 57-year old whose recent words and actions have been met with widespread controversy of late said he's "stunned"... He said on Twitter: "I was informed this morning by my agent that I have been terminated by CNN." Head added: "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." Among other things, he's recently been accused of misogynistic comments and threatening co-workers.
