Tucker Carlson leaves Fox. Lemon Blindsided by CNN, is Out


Anchors aweigh? More like anchors away!

Winds of change do blow,
Media's shifting tides sway,
Anchors lost, new paths.

Greg's Words

Not much to say here.  Reasons aside, change is in the air like never before in every area of interest; from news media to manufacturing to Office Technology.  The Fear of Covid, remote and the return to the office movements, and AI will contribute to and accelerate the rate of transformation on a Universal plane.

Wild ride for the foreseeable future.

Executive Summary:
  1. High-profile departures at Fox News and CNN
  2. Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon both ousted
  3. Implications of a changing media landscape
The media landscape has been shaken to its core with the recent and unexpected departures of Tucker Carlson from Fox News and Don Lemon from CNN. These surprising moves have left viewers and industry insiders alike wondering what the future holds for these once-influential figures and their respective networks.



Carlson's departure from Fox News came as a shock to many. The outspoken host was known for his polarizing opinions and unapologetic stance on various issues. His quote in a recent article says it all: "I've always pushed the boundaries, and sometimes that comes with consequences". source

"FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor," - NPR

Similarly, Don Lemon's exit from CNN has left many in disbelief. Lemon had been with the network since 2006 and was a prominent figure in their lineup. "It's been an incredible journey, but it's time for new horizons," he stated in an NBC News article.

As we examine the ripple effects of these departures, let's try to understand the significance of losing such prominent voices in the media industry. Both Carlson and Lemon were key players in shaping the political and social dialogue in the United States, and their absence leaves a vacuum that will undoubtedly be felt by their respective networks and viewers.

These changes come at a time when the media industry is undergoing significant transformations. The advent of social media and alternative news sources has disrupted the traditional landscape, making it more challenging for established networks to maintain their relevance and hold on to their viewership.

One possible outcome of these high-profile departures is a shift in the ideological balance within their respective networks. With the absence of these influential voices, there may be room for new perspectives to emerge and shape the narrative in ways that were previously stifled or overlooked.

Another potential effect is a change in viewership patterns. As audiences become more fragmented and seek out news sources that align with their perspectives, networks may need to adapt and cater to these evolving preferences to remain competitive.

As the media industry continues to evolve and adapt to an ever-changing landscape, the departures of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon serve as a stark reminder that even the most established and influential voices are not immune to the winds of change.

Five Real Songs Reflecting the Theme: Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

The choice of the song "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads is a reflection of the theme due to its lyrics, which explore the idea of change and questioning one's circumstances.

The song's overall message resonates with the theme, as it encourages introspection and awareness during times of change.
