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'

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.

BUSH 2 convinced us we needed billion dollar manipulable black box tabulators for something about disabled voters etc. He was always a deep state corporate scum bag in my opinion.

I doubt that Bush 2 knew what he was doing. He was always a bit of a dunderhead in my opinion. A puppet who was unaware that he was not in charge, unaware that strings were pulling him.

His father was smart, albeit Deep State. His sons, not so bright.

Those that run Foxnews will lose a lot of money.
Interesting read on how much Tucker Carlson meant to Foxnews.
The uniparty is clearing the way for another election cheat.

Found this:

Blackrock owns 59.M shares of Dominion
Blackrock owns 45.7M shares of Fox.
Blackrock sued itself and fired Tucker Carlson as part of that lawsuit.
FIGURED IT OUT YET?

This is a context you won’t find elsewhere {smiles}. The phone has been blowing up…. Context and some details matter.

First, Carlson was being paid about $20 million a year by Murdoch. He had about 3 years left on his contract and will be paid the full contract amount. Carlson found out about 10 minutes before Fox Corp made the announcement. They did not “part ways,” Tucker Carlson was fired.

Carlson will not be asked to sign an NDA, is not bound by a “non-compete” clause following the contract nullification by Fox Corp, and will be free to do anything he wants in any venture. Additionally, he will be free to say whatever he wants about the issues at Fox and speak freely, or not, without any legal or contractual constraints. Keep all of that in mind.

Fox Nation was struggling prior to Tucker Carlson’s long show broadcasts. The entire Fox Corp digital streaming service, Fox Nation, was anchored around the Tucker Carlson Today digital streaming service. Fox News has just torpedoed their anchor, shot their lead dog, destroyed the digital brand. That gives you some scale and scope to how the elements viewed the threat of influence that Tucker Carlson had become.

According to an analysis by http://iSpot.tv, @TuckerCarlson
accounted for 16% of all ad revenue at @FoxNews
And during a six-month period of February through July of this year alone, Tucker generated $37.2 MILLION for Fox News and obliterated the competition.

Tucker asked too many questions.

Is not allowed in Social Credit Society.

Party will decide what is good for peoples to hear. /shiny side out

[SaveFerris]

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

Rid of? (I’m guessing you meant)

I’ve been quite preoccupied this past week or two.

[SaveFerris]

Correct on all points.

[SaveFerris]

There are plenty of bizarre things happening.

This convergence of things does not bode well, not only for the nation, but for the world.

There’s hardly a week that something jaw-dropping doesn’t happen at least once.

The AB psyops for a “transgender” agenda is truly bizarre. This thing is next-level. I was basically not paying attention the last couple of days and called up a guy I know. That’s how I found out. Was driving down the road and he told me. I couldn’t believe yet I knew he wouldn’t make this up.

[SaveFerris]

World War Three appears to be on the horizon.

The strange and the bizarre are being installed as “normal”

But at least we now have a new booster available. /s

[SaveFerris]

He sold out. That’s why there’s a remarkable change (for the worse) with him. He’s an East Coast Liberal at heart.

And an open-borders Globalist.

[Syncro]

Musk should start a Network.

Start with Tucker.

No Hannity.

Katie Pavlic, yes

Lara Logan.

Jeannine Piro.

Dan Bongino.

Dennis Prager.

Miranda Divine.

John Solomon.

Sara Carter. Although Fox may have a stranglehold on her.

And one of those other border reporters

Molly Ringwald just came out against Cancel Culture.

Slip Stream News.

All Trump speeches and rallies and interviews.

Any other suggestions?

[Hay, there is fantasy sports, why not non-Fantasy News and Opinion.]

No narccisits allowed! Sorry Sean and yer bromance guy Geraldo...

[ronnie raygun]

sexism, bullying and anti-Semitism while working on the show. never more bullsh## has been heard

Hi FRiend!

Do you have background/context for reports that Tucker Carlson said, "I hate him passionately," referring to Trump?

Court documents also revealed Mr. Carlson’s feelings about Mr. Trump.
In a text message exchange from January 2021, Mr. Carlson said the network
was “very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights,” and said
“I hate him passionately,” referring to the former president. WSJ 4/24/23

[rodguy911]

I sure dont and I doubt the comment. Tucker has made numerous postive comments about Trump seriously doubt he made any bad ones about Trump. Sounds like disinfo to me.

[apoliticalone]

Thanks for the info and in-depth reply. I will give it a try.

I watch CSPAN Washington Journal on occasion which is typically very biased in favor of left because Comcast is the biggest cable sponsor. If viewers examine how they treat callers and who they pick as guests they would recognize the bias. The back staff of CSPAN just like NPR etc represents typical propaganda elites not the bed rock of America contrary to claims.

[battletank]

I cant figure out what is happening here…..or what to think about it?

I have read that some Tucker messages to other employees spoke of how he hated Trump “passionately”?

Just WTH?

[Vaduz]

Fox News is a no sale deal CNN is still open Fox is just a sister station now.

[PMAS]

Plus HBO did a whole documentary on how the voting machines can be easily hacked/manipulated.

[spintreebob]

If he didn’t already know how devious, diabolical, deceitful they are is he qualified to report and analyze them?

I don’t need to watch an entire Sporting Event Live...

For 99% of things... I can wait and watch the game highlights for Free on YouTube or some Free Sports Channel on Roku.

Rupert Murdoch and Paul Ryan are not your friends.
