Why Tucker Carlson's Exit From Fox News Looks Like an Execution
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Tucker Carlson's reign at Fox News is officially over. While the network said it "agreed to part ways" with the prime-time star, Gabriel Sherman reports that Carlson was "blindsided" and expected his contract to be renewed. The host didn't even get so much as an on-air sign-off, which, as Brian Stelter puts, is the "television equivalent of an execution."
Yesterday's cable news chaos went well beyond Fox. Don Lemon, who's been in hot water for months over sexist comments, also got the boot at CNN, where, Joe Pompeo reports, the "consensus internally is: onward."
Zooming out, with Joe Biden's reelection bid apparently imminent, Mark McKinnon dispels chatter that a Biden-Trump rematch is inevitable, while Eric Lutz asks whether the president's past promise of "normalcy" will be enough to win him a second term.
