Tucker Carlson 'blindsided by Fox News firing that was a direct order from Rupert Murdoch after Jan 6 conspiracy claims and producer's lawsuit alleging bullying, sexism and anti-Semitism'
Daily Mail ^ | April 24, 2023 | Jen Smith, Josh Boswell

Tucker Carlson was blindsided by his firing from Fox News and learned of it on Monday morning shortly before it was announced, sources tell DailyMail.com.

Even some of his closest staff were unaware that his show had been axed, reading about it for the first time on Twitter.

'No one I know was told about it beforehand. We were blindsided,’ one senior staffer who works closely with Tucker’s show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, told DailyMail.com.

Another insider revealed he still has no idea why he was let go so suddenly, and that many staffers are now questioning whether it's part of a wider plan by the Murdoch family to sell the media behemoth.

'Tucker still hasn’t been given any indication of why he was taken off the air. His producer Justin wells was fired too.

'We believe Rupert wants to sell the company and it’s harder to find an institutional buyer with Tucker as the main star.

'Tucker gone makes it more of an appealing media company to buy,' the source said.

The Los Angeles Times reports that it was a combination of Carlson's coverage of the January 6 riot and a recent lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, a former producer, who says she was subjected to sexism, bullying and anti-Semitism while working on the show.

Grossberg’s probably a protege of Soros and the ADL.

Who’da thunk a media company would be more valuable with the largest revenue-generating star gone?!

It’s more attractive with 75% of your viewership gone? Did I miss something?

"‘This is a step towards accountability for the election lies and baseless conspiracy theories spread by Fox News, something I witnessed firsthand at the network, as well as for the abuse and harassment I endured while Head of Booking and Senior Producer for Tucker Carlson Tonight,’ Grossberg said.

‘I think this is great for America! It’s a big win for viewers of cable news, not just those who watch Fox.’"

Lefty/Deep State response right there.

She probably already has a tell-all book deal in the works as the payoff. They can't get rid of Carlson without defaming him.

CNN got rid of Lemon today, too. My guess is the word is out for the uniparty to make calls for a false "moderation" so they can quietly go back to screwing the American people under a veneer of calm.

Go to hell Murdoch. Do not pass Go, do not collect even 2 cents. Fox News is dead to me. No tombstone, no memorial, no regrets. You think you can buy just about everyone. You have literally no idea what a strong will is.

Brilliant thinking.

Did Fox News ask Bud Light for advice on how to DESTROY THEIR BRAND?

Best theory yet. Remember that they got of Bongino last week. Who is next, Sean Hannity? Gutfeld?

I was conservative before Fox News, and I will be conservative long after Rupert Murdoch is dead.
