I Am Shocked: Prominent Host Don Lemon Fired from CNN

CNN has fired anchor Don Lemon after 17 years with the network. The news was announced by Lemon on his Twitter page.

CNN stated that Lemon was offered a meeting with management, which he declined. The reasons behind the network's decision to terminate his contract were also not disclosed.
