Tucker Carlson was taken off air by Rupert Murdoch because of overtly religious remarks Fox News' highest-rated host made during a recent speech, according to Vanity Fair.
...........
Describing the debate over abortion and transgender rights, he told the audience: "what you’re watching is not a political movement. It’s evil."
Carlson added: "I’m not calling for religious war. Far from it. I’m merely calling for an acknowledgement of what we’re watching".
He said that engaging in debate no longer works. "I’ve tried. That doesn’t work," he said.
He went on to suggest that he has concluded praying for the future could be more powerful.
He said: "Maybe we should all take just 10 minutes a day to say a prayer about it. I’m serious. Why not?"
According to one source close to Mr Murdoch, the language drove his decision to remove Carlson.
“That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,” the source told Vanity Fair.
...... The report was by the same journalist who claimed in May that Mr Murdoch called off his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith because he had become “increasingly uncomfortable” with his fiancee’s outspoken evangelical views.
According to Vanity Fair, Mr Murdoch had witnessed Carlson and his fiance discussing religion on a previous occasion.
A source told the publication that Carlson, reportedly a favourite of Ms Smith, had dinner with the couple at Mr Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard in late March.
........
During the meal, Ms Smith reportedly produced a Bible and read passages from the Book of Exodus.
Mr Murdoch simply “sat there and stared,” the source said. Days later, his engagement to Ms Smith was called off.
Vanity Fair noted that by taking Carlson off the air, Mr Murdoch had also cut his former fiance’s "favourite show" on the network.

Insofar as truth is religious, this may be an honest headline.
The end of Tucker’s Heritage speech he did ask everyone to pray for the future.
I can say from years of experience doing exorcisms and spirit releasement work, that evil HATES PRAYERS.
Maybe Tucker should ask everyone to PRAY for the Murdoch family.
Excerpt:
“In spite of his interest in Catholicism and his papal knighthood, however, Murdoch did not eventually convert and so remains a Presbyterian.”

We will here every excuse in the book of why Tucker was fired. The bottom line is HE SPOKE THE TRUTH and the deep state could not have that..........PERIOD!!
I’m not believing this. Didn’t Ainsley have some Bible group going on? Shannon Bream outspoken about her faith, wrote a book and it was pushed on air. Any number of them have alluded to their faith. Nah, this was in prep to push DeSantis.....get rid of those who would not push DeSantis the way Paul Ryan wants him pushed.
Isn’t Murdoch Jewish??
That speech was full of religious overtones. And it was brilliantly crafted to demonstrate that the political debate has ended. Tucker enlightened his listeners with the view it is about Good and Evil.
Agreed. And the fact that Tucker was persecuted for not being afraid to speak of God and prayer, and to call evil what it is, makes me respect him even more.
It may be that Murdoch is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I’m sad to say he could have used the conservative movement in the USA to make money not for the benefit of the Republic. Why?
According to wiki Murdoch actually financially supported the labor party ticket in Australia (1964) before he moved to the USA. Its platform to me looks more socialistic and not even a moderate one at that:
“After McEwen and Menzies retired, Murdoch threw his growing power behind the Australian Labor Party under the leadership of Gough Whitlam and duly saw it elected[42] on a social platform that included universal free health care, free education for all Australians to tertiary level, recognition of the People’s Republic of China, and public ownership of Australia’s oil, gas and mineral resources. Rupert Murdoch’s backing of Whitlam turned out to be brief. Murdoch had already started his short-lived National Star[41] newspaper in America, and was seeking to strengthen his political contacts there.[43]”
So perhaps Murdoch is really showing his true colors.
I was thinking the same thing. Harris Faulkner had a book too I think about prayet.
I think Kennedy presented the bigger danger to the DS here.
Trump is running as a Republican; people will vote party lines reflexively and vote against him for party affiliation alone. But Kennedy is coming from the left, and many on the left would be all too happy to ditch Biden for him.
They can't let RFK get airtime.

Tucker did not get a chance to destroy the 60 minutes garbage. what a shame.
shut down ALL FakeNewsMSM simply by not watching/listening/reading them.
The cross freaks out a lot of people. It's salvation to those who believe, and judgment to those who don't.
Murdering babies and mutilating children is not evil?
Reagan called Communism an Evil Empire. Was he wrong?
This event is one big Rorschach test. Everybody wants the reason to match their prejudices, nobody has facts.
This about the 20th reason I’ve read he was fired. Only two people know the real reason, Tucker and whoever fired him.
