FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways, according to a statement released on Monday.
“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” said Fox News in a statement.

TMTG+ is my hope!!
HUH? What others? There are only a couple.
The only thing I watched at Fox. Guess thats done!
Tucker has already been invited to join TheBlaze.
“Wondering how long Bartiromo lasts now!”
The conservative women in our family are fans of Marie.
This has everything to do with the lawsuit settlement. You will see Fox News pushing in a different direction. They’ve lost their conservative edge. This is an able to get the other lawsuit settled. Fox News is cooked. They are over hopefully something emerges equally good to the old Fox News.
Catchy tune but creepy as hell......
When did Tucker learn that Friday was his last show?
Tucker, Hannity, Levin, Trump should get together with One America News and The Blaze to create one unified conservative station and site.
> Perhaps they can fill his time slot with reruns of Hannity mindlessly babbling and talking over guests.
Tick-tock!

So long fauxnoose..............
And like someone here said...get Musk to help
I watch Bongino on Rumble.
Corporate media giants are big targets for government pressure.
Man, I only hope he didn’t sign an NDA.
Guess the Murdochs meant it when they said they would purge Carlson, Piero, Ingraham etc
Is part of round one to get the next lawsuit with the other company settle. Fox News has cut their own nuts. I hope that or conservative folks end up somewhere where they can make a difference.
Rupert Murdoch's Son's 'Mission in Life' Is to 'Destroy Fox News'
By Dustin Rowles | TV | April 12, 2023 | 63 Comments
For those who love Succession and are eager to learn more about the family upon which it is based, the Murdochs, Vanity Fair has a riveting piece up today exploring the family dynamics. Rupert Murdoch remains the Logan Roy of the family and has no intention of retiring, but he is 92 years old now and has had a number of health scares in recent years.
When Murdoch eventually dies, control over Fox News will likely pass to one of his eldest sons, James or Lachlan, and the decision is likely to be made by Lachlan, James, and Elisabeth (his children with Anna Torv’s aunt, Anna Torv) and Prudence, the firstborn daughter and basically the Conner Roy of the family. Elisabeth — the Shiv of the Murdoch family — has essentially renounced any claim to the future throne because Rupert doesn’t believe that a woman should take over. Prudence, being the Conner, is not in the running, so that leaves James — a liberal who owns a stake in Vice and other liberal-leaning companies— and Lachlan. Lachlan is the eldest son, his politics align with Rupert’s, and he is currently in control of Fox News and is buddies with Tucker Carlson, but he’s reportedly not that keen on working after his father passes (he’d rather be rock climbing).
When Rupert Murdoch dies, each of the four children receives one vote in deciding who will take over the company, and there is a fear inside of Fox News that the sisters will side with James and vote him in, though he essentially split from the network after Charlottesville in 2017 (“I can’t even believe I have to write this: standing up to Nazis is essential; there are no good Nazis. Or Klansmen, or terrorists,” he wrote at the time).
After Roger Ailes was ousted, there was a brief power struggle inside Fox News and James Murdoch tried to steer the network into more respectable politics, but Rupert and Lachlan won out, which resulted in the Fox News that exists today (and Dominion’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against it). However, if the sisters vote for James — who is said to be biding his time — he would either pivot the network into a center-right answer to CNN or completely sell Fox News off because he sees it as such a toxic asset. “Inside the network, there’s a visceral fear of what a James-led future would mean. ‘James sees destroying Fox News as his mission in life,’” one Fox News employee told Vanity Fair.
Given Rupert Murdoch’s age, it may not be too much longer before we find out how the real-life Succession will finally play out.
There is absolutely no point in watching Uniparty (R) must see TV now. With near total censorship of non regime approved broadcasting, people are left to think for themselves. If what goes for America First postings around here is any example, America’s thought police are certainly in the catbird’s seat now. Most “conservatives” will applaud this move as Carlson has definitely shown his Putin stooge leanings this past year regarding Uke corruption and the ongoing military quagmire.
“Fox goes the Way of the Woke.”
Fox will regret it when their viewing numbers suddenly drop. I wonder when Greg Gutfield and crew will be forced out. Probably within a year or two. Maybe sooner.
The fact is that in the afternoon, many people turn on Fox and just leave it on while waiting on Tucker, but really pay little attention to the other shows. Without the draw of Tucker, the other shows will probably lose viewing audience numbers as well. Not to mention the number of people who turn off Fox just because they are pissed that the Fox Board stopped Tucker from airing the Jan 6th video.
