Tucker Carlson was blindsided by his firing from Fox News and learned of it on Monday morning shortly before it was announced, according to sources. In a shock announcement Monday, the network announced he would not be returning. '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 network statement read. An interim roster of hosts will take over in his absence until a permanent replacement is chosen. No other explanation has been given for his sudden departure after seven years at the top.

Tucker Carlson was the only reason I ever tuned in to Fox. I hope they enjoy their ratings falling through the floor just as the other alphabets have.

Fox news has just about completed its transition to the dark side. Now they can fight over scraps with the other leftist media outlets. This justifies my decision to never watch Fox after the 2020 election betrayal.

I haven’t bothered with Fox since the election.

I was still holding out hope, until this.
I just removed all 7 days of Fox and Friends, The Faulkner Focus, Outnumbered, Making Money with Charles Payne, The Story with Martha MacCallum, The Five, Special Report with Bret Baier, Jesse Waters Primetime, Hannity, The Ingram Angle, Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Fox News Sunday from my DVR…and I think that covers everything…except Gutfeld!… gonna keep that for now.
If I understand TV ratings correctly, if you DVR a program for later consumption, it counts in the “rating wars” as fully as watching the program live.
Sadly, Verizon in my market eliminated OAN, but we still have Newsmax.
So long FNC, BONEHEAD move to cancel Tucker.

Newsmax? OAN? He could start his own IMHO.
Gutfeld is all Fox has to offer me at this point.

Fox News has just anheuser-busch whacked themselves. That sound you hear across the nation today is the sound of millions of Television sets clicking off.

Big mistake.
Vince Coglianese would be the best replacement.

Fox News can hire Don Lemmon to beef up their staff. Keith Olbermann is looking for work too.

There you go.....need to fire a conservative.....ALLEGE "sexism and anti-Sematism" and boom, gone....of course these are lies, but they are USEFUL lies.
The don't WANT truth, they want the end result. So whatever lies they need to use, no problem.
Murdochs are pretty ugly folks, all of them.
I figured out this in about the last week in September of 2019, and stopped watching Fox News, which I had watched every day for at least years...back in the late 90s. DONE with them, permanently.

I watched Tucker and on occassion Waters but otherwise FOX programming died to me when the bimbo blondes were "shocked!!" when the Billy (whatever his name is) Hollywood tape of Trump talking about grsbbing pu ss y. I guaranty every one of their beloved husbands have said something similar when only in the company of other men. If not then they married pu ss ies.

At last report, their stock has crashed about 1 BILLION dollars today. Rupert sure loves to shoot his own feet and occasionally adds his tush as a target. This time he just may have shot all three at the same time. Wherever Tucker and Bongino land, I hope we all follow and/or sign up. The loss of viewers should be catastrophic to Fox.

Hatchet job. This is the same way they got rid of O'Reilly.
Some lady accuses Carlson of bullying, sexual harassment, and antisemitism who, by the way, believes the government approved 1/6 narrative.

Hmm. Let's accuse AOC of colluding with the Murdochs. Just yesterday she publicly accused Tucker of "inciting violence" and boom, he's gone. Is her wish their command? Or did she know something in advance?

Rupert was ordered by the deep state to implement damage control. Firing Tucker was due to his reporting on the Great Election Fraud of 2020, dominion's role, and the J6 committee fraud. I suspect one of the terms of the dominion settlement included his firing. I am sure his firing came with a nice golden parachute to silence him for yet a while longer. Let's see where he lands. Meanwhile, our news feeds will continue to not include Fox News.

I just cancelled my FoxNation subscription. No reason to go back. I doubt I'll be watching any Fox News from now on. Tucker was the only thing I watched consistently.
