Although Tucker Carlson has made no public comments about being fired by Fox News as of Tuesday morning, a new report said he believes his ouster was part of a one-two punch hitting Fox News.
The host of the ratings juggernaut “Tucker Carlson Tonight” was abruptly axed Monday.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” Fox News said in a statement. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
According to Vanity Fair, Carlson has told people he believes his show was killed and he was fired because the Murdoch family plans to sell Fox News. The report cited sources it did not name.
Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch has made his son, Lachlan, the CEO of Fox Corp., the parent of Fox News.
Carlson was called Monday morning by Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and told his show was being taken down and his Fox News email had been shut down, according to the report.
He told those around him that Scott did not explain the decision, telling him only that it was made “from above,” Vanity Fair reported.

(i could have sworn I saw blackrock mentio0ned somewhere...)
Me thinks Musk will set him up with his own show..kinda like Rush Limbaugh.
I was just going to say “Elon Musk wanted on the business phone. Will Elon Musk please pick up the business phone?”
That makes sense, because Murdoch’s children are socialites and they aren’t really invested in the family business other than the cocktail parties they attend.
I’m sure the release of the J6’er had something to do with it.
Found this comment in stories about Carlson:
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?
actually if he took rushes morning slot he would be as big as rush. it wont happen. two neocon CIA agents was given his spot after rush died.
Clickbait headline of the year!
Surely something like that.
Clay Travis? LOL!!
He was never a spook.
Buck Sexton sure was but not Travis.
Unless you’re referring to someone else.
I wonder if the daily wire might come into play here too. Schapiro is always looking for new talent, but I think Carlson may be too big for them?
I think that is incorrect.
Dominion - the voting machine company - is a privately owned company.
It does not sell public stock.
I checked two financial websites for info on Dominion ownership.
BlackRock is not mentioned.
If you peel down...Staple Street Capital owns Dominion, since 2018. At some point, I think going back 10 to 12 years ago...Dominion had a developmental group out of Serbia for the security/design of their equipment....don’t know if that’s still the case. It’s not a publicly traded company.
I’ve seen it said that that is Dominion Energy, not the voting machine company. Needs verification.
He is.
The Flack was getting very heavy …… he was definitely over the target! He had to go before the big guy was sidestepped for Obama’s husband.
more total BS.
