Right-wing primetime host Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News immediately, the cable network announced Monday.
Back in August of 2020, we did an article on Tucker Carlson where we called him the ‘last truth teller’ in the dinosaur corporate media, and in it we asked the question of how long can Tucker last before getting fired? As it turns out, today. During our live Podcast this afternoon, the news broke over the wire that Tucker Carlson had been fired immediately, not even being allowed a last show or even a goodbye. Why? We know why. Fox News is fake news, and the truth is not allowed there.

Last week, Fox News lost a major court battle against the Dominion voting machine company to the tune of $787 million dollars. The suit was over the fact that the network endlessly repeated unsubstantiated claims made by Donald Trump regarding the stolen election. When pressed in court, Fox folded because they had no evidence to back up anything they had said. Tucker Carlson was the last reason I watched anything coming out of Fox News. All done with Fox News now, time to change the channel.
Tucker Carlson leaves Fox News in wake of Dominion defamation settlement
FROM CNBC: The announcement came days after Fox News’ parent company settled Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million. The company’s hosts were not required to talk about the lawsuit, or make an apology for it, as part of the settlement, CNBC previously reported.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the company said in a statement on Monday. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
There will be no sendoff for Carlson, as his last program aired on Friday. Carlson had signed off on Friday stating he would be back on Monday. The company wouldn’t comment beyond the release, or around whether Carlson was being taken off air in response to the Dominion defamation case. Fox Corp. class A shares were down about 4% on Monday.
Tucker Carlson, 53, was among the hosts and executives that were questioned as part of the Dominion lawsuit. Several of his emails and texts were part of the evidence released before the settlement, as well. In addition, Dominion’s attorneys had listed about 20 episodes that appeared on Fox’s networks as evidence of defamation, with Carlson’s among them.
Other hosts that were deposed and part of the evidence included Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, as well as former host Lou Dobbs.
Dominion sued Fox and its networks, arguing the networks “intentionally and falsely” blamed Dominion for the 2020 loss of former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden by airing unsubstantiated claims that the company’s machines rigged the election.
