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.

Reduced the payroll, makes company seem more profitable. Know of a company that terminated their VP of sales after a record setting year for his staff. He was sent packing with half the sales force. Company was courting a new investor needed to cut payroll to look more profitable.
Maybe, but his latest speech at the Heritage Foundation unequivocally shut down “gay Rights” and this idiotic “transsexual rights” as undefendable.
I would think that if he were that clear about how delusional and corrupt these Leftist cornerstones are, Carlson would not be surprised that the equally delusional and corrupt powers that be would can him.

Election lies and conspiracy theories? She was a mole who took Tucker down. She’s obviously a leftist. Why else would she be there. Otherwise she would just be a whiny child.
Burn Down Better
It’s pretty clear she was a woke warrior, just read her tweets cited here:

Finally, Fox can be like all the other network news organizations now - irrelevant.
They fired Tucker.
I fired them.

Regarding what they want to turn it into in order to sell it: Yuck.
“Fox fires @TuckerCarlson five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledging that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers. Carlson’s breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules: Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless. For many years, Tucker has had the nation’s biggest audience averaging 3.5 million — 10 times the size of CNN. Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma.”

Wow she’s a pos.
The viewership is only important to the extent sponsors are willing to pay to reach them. My understanding was many large establishment sponsors did not want to buy advertisement during Tucker’s show because of their personal political preference regardless of the viewership size.
This strikes me as “a woman scorned” revenge play.
Looks like Fox might be facing another lawsuit. From Tucker, perhaps…
Exactly, the spin has started. I think any number of things but 1 is that tucker was starting to come down on vaccines and big pharma/deep state didn’t like that. If was about money tucker could go anywhere, but nowhere will touch him. Maybe a podcast on Spotify like Rogan
So true!
