Fox News Fires The Only Reason People Watch Fox News (Babylon Bee)

NEW YORK, NY — After months of controversy, Fox News has decided to part ways with the only reason anyone watches Fox News.

"Yes, we realize he delivered the most successful cable news program of all time, but we felt embarrassed by him at our Manhatten cocktail parties," said Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott. "When we tried to get invited to fancy, sophisticated gatherings, people said: 'Ewwww, aren't you the Tucker Carlson people?' and that made us feel sad. Curse you, Tucker, for making us feel sad!"

When reached for a reaction, Tucker simply stared dumbfoundedly at our reporter for several minutes.

Industry experts believe there are other factors that contributed to the alleged firing, including the fact that the company is too broke to pay him after settling a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems.

Progressives are reportedly overjoyed by the move, although many are saying Fox didn't go far enough by not killing Carlson in addition to firing him. "You mean he's still alive?" said Congresswoman AOC. "Tucker being alive is fascism!"

At publishing time, producers were seen looking through files for another hot blonde to replace him with.

Fox is suicidal. They’ll probably replace Tucker with Geraldo.

Or the completely idiotic Juan Williams.

The Dominion lawsuit. Fox probably agreed to firing Tucker as part of the settlement. No worries wherever Tucker goes, his audience will follow. There are no replacements for him that will garner a fraction.

Did Carlson know about this when he did his last show this past Friday? If so, it’s beyond odd that he made no mention of it.

Those 'blond bimbos' at FOX are pretty smart and knowledgeable. Including Harris Faulkner (who is secretly a blond).

Lots of smart blond women at FOX - and yeah Harris Faulkner is one of 'em. (Intelligent - yes. Blond? Not so much...) And Kat and Dana and many more are first rate.

There's a point where too much femininity becomes toxic.

Tucker needs to be replaced with an intelligent conservative MAN. A man chosen on merit... not NEPO (powerful daddy) not 'of color' or of sexual kink... Jonathan Truley might be interesting every Tuesday night... Victor Davis Hanson two nights a week... with Steve Miller Mondays and Fridays... Fox should try these men out...

'Fox' who? 🤷‍♂️

I will likely still stick with Fox business, late afternoon. Tucker was about all that I watched on FNC in the evening anyway; Hannity is ecccchh - if only he would let his guests talk. Other issues about Hannity - ??

Got to wonder haw this fits in with the Dominion settlement agreement. Was firing Carlson part of the settlement agreement? Or is Fox Corporate simply blaming Carlson for costing them hundreds of millions in settlement payments? Any way you look at it, the Dominion suit castes a deep shadow on Carlson’s firing.
