Thus, what we are hearing today is not actually a total surprise (if it is true): BREAKING: Carlson was told by a member of the Fox board that he was taken off the air as part of the Dominion settlement, per Tucker's legal teamhttps://t.co/rcFBEH6Xhk — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) May 9,...

Fox News is getting destroyed.

A new court document leak from the lawsuit between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems sheds new light on the network’s decision to ‘move on’ from Donald Trump. The document leak comes amidst a significant shakeup to the talent aired on the network. Tucker Carlson, the most-watched host on primetime cable news, was pushed out of his position as host of the flagship show on the network in the 8 P.M. slot. Dan Bongino, a Fox News contributor, popular guest, and host of the show “Unfiltered,” was unable to come to terms with Fox News last week on renewing his...

‘How is it going to end for me?’ Carlson asked with roaring laughter. ‘Well, you think I don't know? I know! And it is going to end for all of us that way!’ (LifeSiteNews) – Speaking publicly for the first time since his seismic firing by Fox News, Tucker Carlson indicated in a Wednesday night video release that he was indeed dismissed for presenting on “the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future,” which — through corporate collusion with both political parties and their donors — “are not permitted in the American media.” When such important debates...

It may be a while before you see Tucker Carlson unleashed on a TV near you. You also may never hear the full truth regarding his falling out with FOX News.

Breitbart also revealed this pertinent piece of information: Tucker remains under contract with the network through 2024 despite losing his TV Show. This confirms Megyn Kelly’s comments yesterday that Tucker was never officially fired from FOX News. Former Top Fox News host and insider Megyn Kelly...

Inside sources at Fox News have leaked rumors that, despite being dropped from the network as of this past Monday, Tucker Carlson is still beholden to a contract that would prevent him from undertaking a new media venture until after the 2024 presidential election. Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who now hosts her own podcast on Sirius XM, reported on information allegedly coming out of the collapsing “conservative” media company indicating Carlson has yet to reach terms of a complete exit from his contract. “I want to, I think, break some news for you,” Kelly began on her show....

Kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a...

Haven't seen this posted yet but Tucker just gave a two minute monologue on Twitter. Sounds like he's rested and ready for his next chapter.

The day he was fired, Tucker Carlson was nearly invisible on the Fox News prime-time lineup that he used to dominate. “We’re not talking about him,” former colleague Sean Hannity said in one of the two very brief mentions of Carlson’s name on Fox News on Monday night. In contrast, his ouster was the lead story on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts. Carlson was abruptly bounced from his popular prime-time show earlier in the day without any explanation from Fox. It was less than one week after Fox had agreed to pay $787 million to settle a lawsuit with...

As everybody found out at the start of this week, Tucker Carlson’s last show on Fox News aired the previous Friday night. The mystery as to what happened then started to build after the announcement on Monday. Then, on Wednesday evening, Carlson released a video that doesn’t specifically explain what happened or what exactly is coming next, but perhaps there are some major clues.

Therefore don't be surprised to see Maria Bartiromo to be next on the Fox News chopping block.

Politico reported Tuesday that a senior defense official told the outlet: We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people. The official also said Carlson “made a mockery” of the free press and “repeatedly cherry-picked department policies and used them to destroy DoD as an institution.” “Good riddance,” a second defense official said.

One America News Network, the Heritage Foundation and BlazeTV founder Glenn Beck were among those publicly eager to welcome Mr. Carlson after Fox News Media unexpectedly cut ties with its top-rated primetime host on Monday. “We would love to have you here. You won’t miss a beat,” said Mr. Beck, a former Fox News figure, on his BlazeTV program. “Together, the two of us will tear it up.
