Summary
We haven't seen a news cycle like this week in a while. Mercury is in retrograde and shaking up cable news. What was once thought unthinkable has occurred--Tucker Carlson, white supremacist golden boy is out at Fox. Not to be outdone--for entirely different reasons Don Lemon is out at CNN! Waj and Danielle discuss the shakeup and where we think cable news and mainstream media is headed next.
