If you ever watched his evening show you would know he's not a winger.

As for Carlson, his best bet is to try NewsMax or some other right wing, propaganda network. I don't think he'll work for a while as his reputation is in the toilet as one of the biggest phony liars going.

And he'll probably be joined by several of his former colleagues from FOX on an unemployed list looking for winger, propaganda work.

He's been known for his misogynistic behavior there for years. Carlson is a named defendant in Abby Grossberg's lawsuit against Fox for the same sort of behavior (only worse). No way would CNN trade one sexist pig for another; the lawyers wouldn't let them. Carlson is radioactive right now wrt any halfway reputable news outlet.

When Lemon was moved from his evening show, where he was good, to that fluff morning show, the writing was on the wall. Hope he realized it and was prepared for a short run.
