Abstract
It’s been a rough couple months for journalism, particularly in the United States. In April, well-known Fox News host Tucker Carlson “parted ways” with the organization just days after Fox settled its lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems. The media organization agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million (USD) to avoid a jury trial over accusations that Fox News “promoted lies” about the U.S. Presidential Election in 2020. Carlson was the host of one of the shows that shared false conspiracy theories about the election (Jones, 2023). The same day Fox severed its relationship with Carlson, CNN announced it had fired popular host Don Lemon. Lemon’s firing came as a result of “ongoing pattern of misogynistic comments and actions,” including comments he made on speech made by Niki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and a Republican presidential hopeful, where Lemon said she “wasn’t in her prime” (Ali, 2023). The two sudden announcements sent shockwaves around the country and produced a wide range of public reactions, from outrage to excitement to relief. Experts suggested that the varied reactions were just evidence of the current deep political divide in the United States. Kimberly Vered Shashoua, a licensed clinical social worker, told USA Today:
