Carlson was fired without warning on Monday morning after leading Fox News' top primetime show for seven years. There has been much speculation surrounding what sealed his fate.

RE: Tucker Carlson was fired after preaching about good, evil and the need for prayer

According to Tucker himself, HE WAS NOT FIRED AND IS STILL EMPLOYED BY FOX NEWS. ONLY SIDELINED.

Tucker was fired from doing shows and still gets paid money.

Tucker was silenced for saying what powerful “donors” to the major political parties don’t want people to talk about on television.

You’re right and I’ve posted that myself

Let’s blame daily mail and vanity fair who broke this angle

It’s a different twist

Only thing in its favor is the timing after the Heritage speech last Friday nite I found perfect and ex fiancée facts

I don’t consider Tucker’s still being employed by Fox and being paid a fat seven figure check for doing nothing, good news though.

His contract expires in December 2024, which means that he will not have his TV platform to speak for the duration of the next election cycle, just when we need to hear his voice.

He can still offer commentary on various other outlets. Witness the short statement that got 70 million views.

Did this insight come to her in a dream?

Gospel of Matthew (Douay Rheims):

The Crowd Chooses Barabbas

(Mark 15:6-11; Luke 23:13-25)

15 Now upon the solemn day the governor was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whom they would. 16 And he had then a notorious prisoner that was called Barabbas. 17 They therefore being gathered together, Pilate said: Whom will you that I release to You: Barabbas, or Jesus that is called Christ? 18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

19 And as he was sitting in the place of judgment, his wife sent to him, saying: Have thou nothing to do with that just man; for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. 20 But the chief priests and ancients persuaded the people that they should ask Barabbas and make Jesus away. 21 And the governor answering, said to them: Whether will you of the two to be released unto you? But they said: Barabbas. 22 Pilate saith to them: What shall I do then with Jesus that is called Christ? They say all: Let him be crucified. 23 The governor said to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying: Let him be crucified.

RE: he was fired from the show and still under contract

So, his contract stipulates that he still be paid his salary even as he was fired from the show? Why would Fox do that?

So as effectively to stifle Carlson without (a) incurring liability by violating his employment contract, but, probably more importantly, without (b) facilitating his ability to pop up elsewhere and recommence conveying the same or a similar message.

The Deep State couldn’t have him talking about Ukraine and corruption in the Gov / Pentagon.

When you realize there’s a powerful club in DC, it becomes evident everything is negotiable.

There is nothing biblical about Tuckers situation. Political - likely although he has given them plenty of fodder.

All liberal media, all major media, all “progressive” creative media are petrified of homosexual and trans-sexual wrath - because they are stricken by the fear, that marketable creativity fails without “daring homosexual ingenuity: sharp mind, sharp tongue, sharp wit.”

And such media moguls “believe that ‘marketable creativity’ is either not found in, or not likely to easily be found in, conservative people.”

As explained to me, by a well-known conservative writer and columnist.
