from charlotte, north carolina. the faa is investigating both incidents. that s it for us. the news continues, want to hand it over to cnn prime time with michael smerconish. anderson, thank you. tuckered out, i m michael smerconish from new york city tonight. it s been a chaotic day for the media. sources say former nbc universal chief jeff shell accused of sexual harassment by a cnbc anchor, don lemon and cnn parting ways, disney laying off more workers, but the most stunning headline today, tucker carlson is out at fox news. these stories, these networks are all very different situations, but in terms of fox, reports show the ouster could be for a variety of reasons. carlson disparaged network leadership in text messages. he s accused of a hostile and sexist work environment. he continued to down play january 6th and play up conspiracy theories about the attack, but while the network s official statement today explained very little, it s unlikely coincidental that the
ukraine. we believe that many of the points on the peace plan put forward by china are consistent with russian approaches and can be taken as the basis of a peaceful settlement when the west and kyiv are ready for it, this readiness is not observed on their side. since the war began, russia has become far more dependent on china. china has been propping up russia s economy amid western sanctions by purchasing its energy replacing western supp suppliers in electronics and aircraft and providing an alternative to the u.s. dollar. she is inviting putin to china this year and told putin they share similar goals. putin says russia has closely studied beijing s peace proposal for ukraine, a plan that washington says would solidify russia s grip on occupied land. china would not want to see putin fail. it would set a terrible example for the chinese system. reporter: china and russia have a complicated history, but their shared adversarial relationship with washington is drivi
ingraham, sidney powell is lying, by the way, i caught her. it s insane. martiromo put her on the air, which raises the question, why is she still there if he was fired? look, whether any of the stunning revelations from the dominion suit are now known to focus viewers, that s an open question. as the new york times pointed out, on the day the dominion case was settled for a record amount, it led many major news outlets, but it was hardly mentioned on fox. c quote, the $787.5 million settlement was covered only three times by fox news in about four hours after the settlement became public amounting to about six minutes of coverage. for most of the day including during the network s prime time shows, hosts appeared to be focusing on other issues like illegal immigration and covid-19 s possible origins. while dominion was not able to extract an on-air apology from
