Former CNN Anchor Brian Stelter Claims CNN and Fox News Didn’t Time Carlson and Lemon News Together

Today the shocking news was unveiled that both Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon are leaving Fox News and CNN respectively. In our earlier article about a Megyn Kelly tweet, we also went into detail about former CNN reporter Brian Stelter’s Twitter thread about the news.

Now, Stelter, no longer employed at CNN, claims that Fox News and CNN definitely did not time the firings to happen on the same Monday morning. It’s unclear how he knows this information for sure.

“To be clear: Fox News did not know that CNN was terminating Don Lemon today and CNN did not know that Fox was ousting Tucker Carlson. This was a complete and crazy coincidence.”
