One hypothesis for why Fox News fired popular television commentator Tucker Carlson is because he had been badmouthing company officials. But are top executives for a major U.S. corporation so sensitive to personal criticism that they’re willing to ditch their most popular commentator for saying some bad things about them? That’s hard to believe.
Another hypothesis is that Carlson was also saying bad things about Fox News colleagues. That too doesn’t make much sense to me. Doesn’t that sort of thing go on in most large companies? It’s called human nature. Again, it doesn’t seem serious enough to can the network’s most popular commentator.
Let me weigh in on another possibility — that the Pentagon and the CIA may have been the ones who put the quietus on Tucker and possibly signaled to Fox executives that he had to go.
Last December, Carlson broadcast a program on the assassination of President Kennedy in which he accused the CIA of having participated in the assassination. In doing so, Carlson violated a taboo that has existed within the mainstream media since November 22, 1963, the day that Kennedy was assassinated.

I’m sure the CIA was very happy when Tucker Carlson said on more than one occasion that they had assassinated JFK. The Pentagram was also happy when he routinely ridiculed Thoroughly Modern Millie.
If they can assassinate a president and get away with it, shutting down a journalist would be a walk in the park.
Chuck Schumer and Paul Ryan over the J-6 tapes hanging like the Sword of Damocles over their heads.
I can see the latter, but not the former.
They didn’t actually fire him
Get the facts straight and get back to me
I believe that is exactly what happened.
Tucker may be “trapped” in his FN contract.

It happened to Bob Prince (play by play announcer for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1970’s).
You might be just a tad over dramatic

Do you actually know of anyone who watches Fox News, or listens to Sean Hannity on the radio?
I cannot do either.
Ya think?
We have Chuck Schumer - one of the most repulsive politicians in modern American history - on a 2017 video smirking with approval as he says our intelligence agencies have “six ways from Sunday to get back at their critics.” So it is not at all crazy to think that they may had played a role in Tucker’s firing.
“So it is not at all crazy to think that they may had played a role in Tucker’s firing.”
At the podium a couple weeks ago, Schumer ordered Fox to fire Tucker.
You can BET it was the military industrial complex and BIG Pharma not a single doubt in my mind they had to shut Tucker up!!
All major news outlets and all of DC are one big social engineering psyop and looking at our national ruination it would seem that the powers that be somehow believe it is our national best interest to commit suicide as a nation.
Did the J6 videos play any part??
Not only possible, but probable
No.
