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.

1st Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing.
Mr. Murdoch, meet Mr. Soros.
If he can make the case, Tucker may have himself a valid suit against Murdoch on Constitutional grounds.
But clearly Fox was ready to hand him his hat. The other allegations against him smell contrived to that end.
I don’t beleive any of this, I beleive Paul Ryan was the reason. Paul Ryan had his boot on Donalk Trump’s neck for 2 years.
Rumor says he was fired abruptly before airing. My guess there was no reason given. The decision rests with Murdock but I doubt he did it personally. Probably the company president gave him an ultimatum do this or we take you off air. The this was probably no more Jan 6th. Note there is no more Jan 6th by anyone at fox now except straight news. If not that it was vaccines or giving trump air time. The point is Murdock does not want trump running against the puppet. So until carlson surfaces somewhere I believe he is still under contract just not being aired. That is why there is no severance or compete agreement. Besides where would he go. None of the other networks want anyone undermining the deep state message.
“Tucker. Was. Fired. Because. He. Was. Perceived. As. Outshining. Fox. News. - And. Thus. Murdock. Aka. The. King. Himself.
When. You. Get. Bigger. Than. The. King. You. Die..... In. Both. Monarchies. And. Organized. Crime. Families.”
Where is the grammer nazi when you need one?
How dumb can Radar Online get?
Fox News Refused To Pay Tucker Carlson Severance After Sudden Firing: ‘Everyone Expects’ Ousted Anchor To Launch Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuit Over Axing
“Fox told Tucker Carlson’s lawyers were told he was fired “with cause” concerning the ex-producer’s lawsuit, which claimed sexism, antisemitism, and harassment, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The “with cause” label means the company will likely seek to avoid severance payments to Carlson. Most executive contracts contain language stipulating different scenarios of how their separation from the company would be treated financially.”
“Carlson — who was out of contract this year — had been negotiating a renewal through 2029. That means any severance payout would have been drastically reduced because he had little time left to serve.”
Democrat propaganda...
Maybe Tucker should ask everyone to PRAY for the Murdoch family.

Nope, prayer will not help - they are in Exorcism territory.
Sorry, but it wasn’t about Trump and demons on the left.
The political debate is over.
Go listen to the speech or go listen again.
You seem to be missing the point.
F@#$ Murdoch. Fox is good for what it’s good for. So’s Newsmax, OAN, and all the other new conservative outlets. Don’t get so attached that you act like a jilted lover when they go bad. It’ll happen, but BFD. I watch Fox for entertainment, and when a show isn’t entertaining anymore, I stop watching it. News, I get from the Internet, no particular source.
““That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,””
Yeah, When you KNOW you aren’t going to heaven and are definitely going to hell, and you are about a hundred years old, you don’t want to hear all that religious crap.
Asking Rupert:
Do you believe in God?
HELL NO! But I’m as scared as $hit that there is one.
This is always interesting. I was raised an atheist and always found these responses strange from other atheists. If you dont believe in God, then nothing about spiritual talk should scare you or make you nervous. People may as well be talking about the tooth fairy. But if it does scare you, then you are a fraud because you do believe there is "something" and clearly know you are on the wrong side.
It is a time for choosing and Rupert has chosen his god. Pray for his soul.
Interesting. Makes sense.
It is different when eye candy profess they are Christians and write some little fluff book and when a man like Tucker exposes this is a spiritual war. He is a serious person people respect and listen to.
“because of overtly religious remarks”
“That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,”
That’s baloney. A number of Fox hosts make no secret about praying and their religious beliefs and several have written religious books that they’ve talked about on air.
Freepers!
Do not believe this nonsense.
Follow the money.
Tucker got too close to the Big Pharma truths.
They are the biggest advertisers in the nation.
Business decisions are about money.
