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.

Wow, that is a great suggestion. I’ll work on it.
Do not disdain the wisdom of the gardener.
Right. They kind of actually “bristle” at the mere mention of the Bible.

Direct quotes from Scripture send some of them into a tizzy. I’ve been shocked by their immediate reactions at least a couple of times.
There's a lot of speculation about why he was fired, but this one is particularly bothersome. What are they saying? That you can no longer be religious, or even worse, CHRISTIAN, or you'll lose your job?
I consider that a possibility as well.

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.
RFK Jnr. will pull a lot votes from now ambivalent Trump supporters, too. Maybe that’s why he was fired? Right now Trump is the only so-called outsider candidate. RFK will cost Trump votes. No doubt.
I would argue that only ONE person knows the reason, or at least, only one person must know, and that is the person who fired him. Tucker may have been given a bogus reason. After all, honesty is in pretty short supply these days.
Saw a post portraying the ownership of Dominion and Fox by a predominant stock position by Black Rock, claiming BR sued itself to throttle Fox.
“Not many wise...according to this world’s standards....”
Yeah, we don’t control the wheels of this world, but there are prayer wheels a-turning constantly in heavenly realms. As Jesus said, IF His kingdom were of this world, we could fight as they do, but it’s not. Our goals are souls, which are eternal.
A little prayer wheel turning -

If RFK wins the Democrat nomination we are in a new world.
I like the comment in #3! I’m going to try praying for that man and his family!

Bump.
“I’m merely calling for an acknowledgement of what we’re watching”. That is why the DS hates him. He shines a spotlight on their nefarious activities and they don’t like it. Now the left is trying to tie him to “Russia, Russia, Russia” because he questioned the Ukraine BS.
John 15:18
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
It deserves to die. I just won’t like the enthusiasm from the liberal channels who wanted it gone for a long time. Otherwise, be gone!
I just updated my FR homepage with the Scripture I added in a reply. I don’t always remember to insert every update (I’d do a little more work on it but I’m about to hit the sack).
(Lurkers may click on my FR screen name to see my homepage for a little more information on the Scriptures and the Messiah - for time is running out on this old world - and big changes are coming)
