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.

Oooooo antisemitism is a nice addition to the pot….
Fox will have a difficult, if not impossible time replacing and recovering.
One wonders if advertisers other influencials might just demand that Tucker be re-hired.
What will Tucker do now?
Not sure, but eventually he'll be CEO/President of Fox News.
Paul Ryan hated all of that and now Tucker is gone.
No doubt.
They realize they need ever greater levels of gaslighting to persuade people that everything is “ok” despite the catastrophe unfolding before them. It’s like the meme with the dog in the burning café drinking coffee, only now the TV is just repeating “Everything is fine.”
Firing their most popular rated show on the network makes it more valuable?
Clown world continues.
How on earth did firing Tucker make it more appealing?
I don’t believe it. This has obviously been simmering and was Tucker’s choice. He wanted out of his contract.
I heard a guy on NewsMax make a great point when discussing this firing. He said Ratings don’t really matter to a cable channel —its Subscribers. Ratings were important in the days where that set the advertiser rates for broadcast channels, now those rates are set by subscribers.Cable subscribers pay for Murdock and Ryan. If a popular show leaves, those that don’t watch Fox but still have them on cable are still Subscribers.
If Elon wants to start a new network that stars Tucker and competes with Fox, I APPROVE.
And cable systems are owned by a few oligarchs, who’ll dump any channel that offends them. The oligarchs figure that if subscribers no longer like Fox News, they’ll find some other (non-offensive) channel on the system they like, and continue to subscribe.
“Cable subscribers pay for Murdock and Ryan. If a popular show leaves, those that don’t watch Fox but still have them on cable are still Subscribers.”
It may be that conservative subscribers give up their cable TV, Hulu TV, Sling, Direct TV, and other streaming services carrying Fox. After all you can pretty much watch anything you wish to watch, except possibly sports, through individual streaming services and YouTube.
Advertising is still important to the auto companies, consumer products companies, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. If advertising wasn’t important there would be none on cable networks. Advertisers pay for eyeballs, not subscribers.

Grossberg : I want you to form a team of the most brilliant minds in network television.

I hate the sniveling POS.

I wonder if this Grossberg lady is someone who got ahold of the private emails of Tucker and Laura Ingraham where they commented on the stolen election claims by President Trump, et. al., as being bogus.
I know we all should really wait to hear Tucker’s account, but ...
Really?
More like the TV news cycle IS the basis of our “reality.”
It was a board recommendation to Murdock.
With Paul Ryan flippin the PowerPoint charts....
” Who is next, Sean Hannity? Gutfeld?”
Gutfield would be next and it would not surprise me. He has the most popular talk show on TV but he sticks it to the libs. Fox has gone woke. Now they go broke.
