Don Lemon says he was fired from CNN today in a tweet that is taking off like a rocket. This happened after he made some disparaging marks critical of women being in their prime and he was bashed by fans and foes alike for the comments he said while on-air.

Former Secret Service agent and long-time Fox News personality and podcaster Dan Bongino has announced that he recently did his last show with Fox News and they are parting ways. Bongino said there’s no big dilemma and the two have gone their own way in a peaceful manner. Nothing crazy, just two entities going in a different direction when they failed to agree on contract terms.
“Folks, regretfully, last week was my last show on Fox News on the Fox News Channel… It’s tough. It’s tough to say that.
