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.

As this media clean-out was not about just Fox, although it looks like it on first glance. The picture is much bigger and the shot much wider.
You are spot on, this needs to be shouted from the rooftops. We’re being told to take this at face value and given all kinds of excuses why Tucker was fired. Nothing happens anymore that isn’t tied to the deepstate propaganda machine. We’re being owned.
Thank goodness someone is keeping track.
Watch Israel...yes, but it is not yet her time.
Wrong Dominion.
Well then Catturd is wrong.
Tucker was on to something that Fox wanted to shut down. What that was, we will find out sooner or later. What do you think Israel is up to?

I read where it’s common for a company to reduce expenses just before a sale is engaged. It makes the company look more attractive to potential buyers.
I’m not a financial person, so take that with a grain of salt.
I’ve heard the same. Probably Tucker is too expensive. (Except that in order for them to ensure that he’ll STFU for two years, through the election, they’ll still have to pay him full salary to the end of his contract. No savings there.)

If buyers want to turn FOX into another liberal channel they would be better off buying CNN - it would be cheaper and it’s already liberal.
There’s no magic in the name ‘FOXNews’... the magic has been FOX offered a voice for conservative Americans. If someone bought it based on viewers - then turned it into CNN viewers would stop watching,.
Mark Steyn was the guy with the English accent...he does his own web based show ....
Wow amazing black rock connection to dominion and fox
I think he could be the next Rush. He has that “it factor” that makes you stop and listen to what his thoughts are.
I sure do miss my Rush.
The Davos left is now waxing so paranoid because they know that populism will take charge of America.If there is an "end of days" then it is on them.
The cancel acculturation of Tucker Carlson is merely a symptom of how desperate the Biden radicals have become, Tucker has destroyed their house of cards already.
And China wants to awaken the Western dragon? Let it. We can give as good or better than we get. This fight is not over by a long shot.
They allowed tucker to be in control of his show but that don’t mean they allow him to air all the footage he wants. That video of the face of 1/6 was coming out anyways so they couldn’t hide it. But the next night he was supposed to show interviews with several people there. I think 1 was a cop working that day and maybe a whistle blower. When they announced it all over info wars and other places fox put a stop on it. I think fox will be the next cnn after the sale. Someone said disney already owns a lot of the stock. If he wants to sell fox why is he tanking the channel by firing the stars. Something is fishy.
