Media Mayhem

I woke up today with the news about Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson being fired. At first I didn’t know who the hell Tucker Carlson until I watched theLovelyTi on YouTube and she did a break down to what had happened with Fox News being sued for $50 million. The firing of Tucker Carlson made more sense. As for Don Lemon it was pretty obvious to me, he was set up from the start. Putting a black man in the middle of two white women was a huge set up to destroy Don. They knew that he was going to say something to offend them regardless of if he meant to or not. The main question I have for you journalism majors is….do you still want to work for big corporations that throw you away after 20 years? Back when I was a journalism major. I always had a plan to be my own mass media production. The reason why is because when you work for somebody else, you have to play by their rules. Even when you didn’t really break any rules (Don Lemon), they are always going to create a way to get rid of you. That is one of the things I hated about working for other people. You can work hard and be a nonproblematic person and still get fired. It sucks that this world is like that but that is how it is. As for Tucker Carlson yall know he is going to land on his feet and Don look into getting a podcast like the rest of us.
