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.

BTW, I happen to like and even love some or all of these personalities (exception being Tucker, although his recent firing does not sit well with me at all), despite their abovedescribed idiosyncrasies. So go find a different fake issue to harp on, and if you catch my interest enough, I may refrain from blowing you off.
This last remark HAS made me revise my opinion of you. You are not a complete intellectual gelding, only a partial one; the hind part.
“Maybe I’ll read your new screeds tamorra”
