In the wake of the news that Tucker Carlson has left Fox News, many people are wondering why.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the statement from the network explained. “Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”No other details were offered, leading to speculation that his departure may have been connected to the recent settlement

He was one of the only worthwhile things on Fox News. Hasta la vista, Rupert.

I don’t believe any of the stories about why Tucker was fired. They’re all lame and unbelievable. Paul Ryan was behind it. This is going to sink Fox News.

This stinks. Tucker was "let go" because he told the truth. Good by FOX. I can't even bring myself to say FOX News.

Fox News has now joined CNN and MSNBC in the race to the bottom. They will all be competing for the last half dozen viewers who still watch cable TV news.

I don't think Tucker ever said nothing bad happened on J6 caused by "protestors." There was some damage, vandalism, and bluster (no weapons used by the "protestors," unlike officer Byrd who obviously picked up his gun from the restroom and shot an unarmed woman).
But the media, Democrats, and inside-the-beltway establishment uniparty Republicans all sounded like it was a coup d'etat. Heck, it wasn't even a soup d'jour.
The Democrats and their stooges like Lizzard Cheney all played up their side of the story. So Tucker does a little what I thought was underwhelming look at some of the less sensational coverage (and most of that 40,000 hours of tape, as I understand, was basically dead air -- most of it from congressional office buildings not involved in the "insurrection."
I can't see Tucker ending up at CNN or one of the other networks. They'd muzzle him quicker than a pack of vicious pit bulls at a daycare center.
This must have happened fast, because FNC was running his interview with Elon Musk at 9 pm central last night.

FTA: Democrats may have wanted Tucker out at Fox News, but wherever he ends up next, he could become an even bigger problem for them.
One can only hope that Murdoch doing exactly what Schumer demanded will backfire on all of them.

Another "conspiracy theory" brought to light. Several wondered why Tucker abandoned reportage of the Jan. 6 tapes? Now we know . . . Rupert (as thought) put the Kai-bosh on them. I guess Chuckie Schumer has something over the Murdochs?

Tucker had become the only one worth watching on Fox News. Feel sympathy for the few on Fox Business like Elizabeth MacDonald, Maria Bartiromo, Varney, and a few others. They will have to live with the swamp creatures on Fox. Bye Bye Fox. This may just be the step which gives me the incentive to cut the Verizon cable.

This is a very dark turn of events. Clearly, it shows that the media sycophants listen and obey the democrat party. We are quickly becoming a government that punishes any speech it does not like. Democrats are doing a little clean up before they have to convince us, once again, that a corrupt incompetent depraved liar who campaigned from his basement received the most votes of any President in history. No one will speak ill of this administration or there will be dire consequences. Got it? Now go shut up and sit down. We’ll let you know when we want your opinion.
Something deeply disturbing happened with the firing of Carlson. It matters not a bit if it was a mutual decision, the ramifications of this one decision will resonate with conservatives. He was either fired or his values would not allow him to stay. Regardless, the Democrat media threw the gauntlet down. Obey or you will be cancelled. We have the power and no one is safe. Will Americans accept this blatantly biased political decision or will they fight back and turn their backs on Fox News? These radical leftists are not playing. They are deadly serious about controlling speech. We either grow a spine and abandon them and every entity like them or they will completely control you. What’s it going to be? They are marching us into communism and we had better wake before it’s too late.

They cite "...speculation that his departure may have been connected to the recent settlement with Dominion Voting Systems..."
Then they state that "individuals ... who were not authorized to speak...suggested that the decision...,was made directly by Rupert Murdoch...."
You know, these two explanations are not incompatible. It was probably both.
Rupert and Fox caved to intimidation when they had the resources and the moral high ground to resist it.
They could have done something heroic: reaffirmed independent journalism and the public's right to know.
They folded shamefully, doubling the tragedy.

I wish Trump and Carlson could work out some kind of a partnership running up to the nomination and the election.

So many possibilities.
How much money did Dominion get in their lawsuit? If an employee cost you 10 million, would you fire them? Doubt it was just Carlson's call to go after Dominion though.
If Carlson was pushed out over the 1/6 footage, it adds further proof we have a tyranny and not a government.

A stupid business decision but probably the only option available from the deep state mafia.
PBS, ABS, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox are all state run media.

Yep, Rupert and the deep state decided they had enough. It came down to silencing Tucker over J6 not to mention his reporting of Dominion and the Great Election Fraud of 2020. As always, follow the money. Go woke or go broke,

Hebrews 12:27 v.26 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.” v.27 The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken— that is, created things— so that the unshakable may remain. v.28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.…
This is the shaking God has promised that would happen in the Last Days. Evil would become more evil, good would become more solid and there would be a great revelation of hidden corruption. And the Lord's remnant would grow stronger and closer to Jesus.
We're praying for Tucker and have been. We know he's been the target of the Evil One for destruction. Also, praying for Charlie Kirk, Dan Bongino and Steve Bannon. They are also in the target range. As for Tucker taking care of his family financially; he has as the world would say, "he has f u money. But Tucker is also a thinking Christian with unshakeable faith and values. Therefore that man is hard to control. God bless him, protect him and use him for this nation's salvation!

On The Five tonight it was so obvious they had all been told not to mention Tucker. It went pretty well until Greg said the two running for POTUS would be (forgot female name) & Tucker Carlson. It was obviously on purpose. He may be gone tomorrow.

Well clearly the leftist and socialist Democrats have demanded that Fox News fire Tucker Carlson, and it appears that Fox News has complied. What does that tell you?

Well, “Hold My Beer!” News Corp lost a $Billion in market cap yesterday after the announcement! Let them go under with the rip tide. The Patriots of America have cast aside Broadcast & Cable for lying to us for many years. But we know stuff and are getting really PO’ed that we have no recourse against the #JihadJunta and the entire Deep State Apparatus. The very lies that have been said about January 6th, the political prisoners taken, the sham lawsuits brought by the Deep State fraud tool Dominion, and the rest of the cheating infrastructure is cause for our anger. We are, America and Liberty loving people around the world, at a crossroad….

I have Fox on paid internet but all the investigative journalism is on free PlutoTV with America First, OAN, BlazeTV, Newsmax and several more. I watch Tucker for maybe a monologue but so many stories on these other news sites affect my daily life.

They got away with firing O'Reilly. But how many times do they think they can get rid of their stars? I was ambivalent about a lot of Tucker's views but he still made Fox News prime time worth watching. Who do they have to replace him? This has to be the stupidest move of all time by an apparently senile Rupert Murdoch.

This is a very stupid move by the FNC. Only Tucker, Watters and Gutfeld are worth watching. I hope that Rupert, his dumb sons and RINO Ryan lose bigly. Well at least low watt Hannity can stop bootlicking Ryan and Lachlan Murdoch and being jealous of Tucker. His unwatchable show may finally be in the primetime slot.

13 is right. We must vote with our checkbook. I live in the country. I subscribe to YouTube. I will do my small part and cancel. It’s just gone up in price. I’ll take that money and use it for a good cause. There are many ways to get unfiltered news. I don’t worry about those of us who read this site. I worry about the low information voters that don’t do the research. Lastly, I think it was his take on the Russia/Ukraine proxy war that did him in. That and big Pharma influence. Maybe CIA pressure. It’s always about following the money. (Rush Limbaugh & Sundance wisdom)

From the article: "Democrats may have wanted Tucker out at Fox News, but wherever he ends up next, he could become an even bigger problem for them."
Especially if he is no longer beholden to Rupert Murdoch or anyone of his ilk. Tucker Carlson may now have the same freedoms that James O'Keefe received when terminated. . .

Carlson will be fine. He'll either wind up on the Daily Wire, The Blaze or start his own content enterprise on Rumble. Being in high demand, Carlson will earn big bucks wherever he lands, but his days on conventional broadcast television are over. I wish him the best, but he should remember the fate of Andrew Breitbart and watch his back. There are evil people that will see that some harm comes to him.

Lying Paul Ryan...the wanna be important on the Fox News board is out of control...he thinks his position will help with the republican debates....wrongo buckaroo....Americans liked Tucker Carlson and will not let him and Murdock get away with this....Newsmax should host the debates...then it would be fair...because WE conservatives are fair and just....Fox cannot be trusted anymore....and Chris Wallace cannot do his damage at Newsmax....and sanctimonious has lost WE the people...even with lying Ryan and rove and romney backing him...with a little help from lizzie cheny and the bushes....

The VIDEO's of Jan 6 were factual and true. I have no idea why Murdock would go against the Truth no matter WHO put it out. Well Mr. Muddock, we have No USE for a person that won't stand up for the truth. This means your entire channel is just another Main Stream Bilge Pump!

This is a case of ownership flying off the handle by acting before they think things thru.
This action will cost the company millions of dollars and untold viewers.
This action is not the way Rupert Murdoch became a billionaire.

I bet Sean and that woman that follows his program, Laura, are glad he's out of the way so their own ratings will improve as far as popularity. Did you ever notice that Sean NEVER ...except in the last few weeks even acknowledged Tucker? Tucker took away Sean's number one rating. LOL. I watched Tucker and the FIVE when the Judge was on. Tucker never talked of himself whereas Sean and Laura do nothing but talk about themselves and interrupt their guests.
GOD, I miss Rush!

We cut cable when Fox News called Arizona for China Joe. Avid watchers, we now survive on a diet of free Bannon Rumble.
Paul Ryan is evil, the Murdochs are non-American Globalists. We are MAGA. Fox News, Budweiser Tranny Juice, Nike Inverts, Gillette, Pepsi, Disney, should be boycotted. No need of boycotting Bed Bath and Beyond. Heh.
Tucker Carson will remain a shining light in the darkness of Globalism.

Margolis is only half right. Tucker awakened to the cesspool that is our body politic. All of the Masters of the Universe hates truth-tellers. The possible awakening of the Deplorables and those that are unnamed deplorable is to be avoided at all costs. There really are more of us than them, and we are heavily armed. Don't believe all the BS about armies, navies, and weapon superiority. We have over sixty years of evidence to show that might does not always win wars.

About 6:45 p.m., CDT tonight, I received a text message from a number with a Wyoming area code. When I checked that number, a PBS office was 'sort of' mentioned. Say whut! Anyway, the text was 15 choppy sentences asking me for money to help Tucker Carlson. No reason why he needed the money was given. My Spidey Sense took over. I didn't send any money, I didn't answer the text. Especially the all cap sentence to ''step up or we could never see Tucker again!'' Spidey indicates this could be merde de toro.
