Tucker Carlson, the highest rated cable news host in history, is out at Fox News. The news comes days after the network cut ties with host Dan Bongino 48 hours after the network settled with Dominion Voting Systems for nearly $800 million.
“Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” reads a statement from the network, which thanks him for his service “as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
According to the statement, Carlson’s last show was Friday, April 21st as he continued to dominate, and his slot will now be filled by ‘an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”

Full statement from the network (emphasis ours),:
FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor. Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named. FOX News Media operates the FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOX News Digital, FOX News Audio, FOX News Books, the direct-to-consumer streaming services FOX Nation and FOX News International and the free ad- supported television service FOX Weather. Currently the number one network in all of cable, FNC has also been the most watched television news channel for more than 21 consecutive years, while FBN ranks among the top business channels on cable. Owned by Fox Corporation, FOX News Media reaches nearly 200 million people each month.
Shares of 21st Century Fox dropped like a rock on the news, and is now sitting at January lows.
One of Carlson’s last monologues at Fox…
Were Carlson and Bongino sacrificed as part of the settlement?
And where to next?
Rumble is about to get real interesting. You already know @dbongino and @TuckerCarlson talked about this. There’s a move here. I think it’s people who are willing to tell the truth and want creative control is too risky for them in light of the lawsuit settlement. In turn this… pic.twitter.com/ilARBBKE6I

Set up and take down by the deep state, no truth shall be spoken in the land of lies, Rupert and his spawn are Globalist cabal.
This is very bad news. Tucker was the only reason, along with Bongino, that I watched Fox News at all. But this is not about Mr. Carlson or Mr. Bongino as individuals; it is about censorship and the ongoing war on dissent, the war on those of us who disagree with this Woke political culture we are in. Look at what the United States Department of Justice doing even as I write this: targeting traditional Catholics, targeting worried parents of schoolchidren who are being systemically indoctrinated in this evil Woke culture. We are in our very own ‘Cultural Revolution’ brought to us by the likes of the Biden administration, Paul Ryan, Hilary and Bill Clinton, the Murdoch boys and their wives, and the Democratic Party, with the assistance of the Republican Party. Remember, millions of perfectly innocent people were tortured and murdered during China’s Cultural Revolution. Children even killed their own parents. This is going to end badly. I really fear for our country.
He was the only reason I own a TV. His audience is too big to neglect. He’ll land somewhere.
Every time In turn on the car radio I hear Bongino, and he doesn’t hold back one bit on radio like he did on Fox.
Expect Fox to now join CNN at the rating historical lows.
You may not understand what I am about to say, but this is in fact great news.
All pretenses are dropped. All who have eyes can now see. The globalist cabal have pushed all their chips onto the table. They are going for it. Those who’ve been paying attention always knew they would. The great “choosing of sides” is nearly complete. Evil either believes it has enough allies, or enough power, to achieve its goals of enslavement of humanity. Or, perhaps they know they are lost and have no other choice.
We were always headed here. We are here at last. What are you made of?
Fucking Jews didn’t like him.
No lie detected.
It wasn’t just them.
Well let’s see what Tucker has to say. Yes, i like his style and sharp wit. Do I trust him? No. Trust Fox? No. He wouldn’t be in a position to be news if “THEY” didn’t push him.
Miles did a great essay on the fake Dominion Fox lawsuit.
http://mileswmathis.com/domin.pdf
Today it is being reported that FoxNews settled with Dominion, agreeing to pay almost $800 million
AND admitting it lied. Which is all you need to know to know it was faked.
This is legal news for the legally impaired. Settlements don’t work like this. You settle so that you
don’t have to admit guilt. Remember all those other cases you have read about in the news, where one
side agreed to settle, and they say “all terms of the settlement are private. Party X admits no guilt”.
So you should be asking what Fox got in this “settlement”. You will say it avoided going to court, but
Fox would have wanted to avoid going to court why? To avoid having to pay a huge settlement and to
avoid admitting it was wrong. But now we are supposed to believe it did both. Doesn’t fit the
definition of a settlement, does it? It fits the definition of fake news, managed by both sides here to
make Dominion look innocent, give legitimacy to a voting system no one believes in anymore, and
scare everyone else off from criticizing Dominion.
A $37 million company sues for and gets close to a $Billion in damages? Dershowitz says they didn’t even have a case and even if they won would never have won an appeal. WTF?????
It is called sue and settle, a long time practice at many federal agencies. A leftist group sues and the bureaucracy settles out of court. It becomes a means for the .gov to fund the leftist groups they support without making it a budgetary item.
There was no federal agency involved here …
There has certainly been way too much Public/Private cooperation in recent years as in handing Twitter or Fecesbook a list of problems to ban. Never discount creative financing in order to further the goal of screwing over the folks.
See above- Miles has already explained that there was no payout- just another part of the Psyop to convince that the voting machines are “safe and effective”.
Alex Jones also didn’t payout a billion $ as he could have easily proved Sandy Hook was a fake. Heck- they reuse the crisis actors over and over.
Alan is a fine actor, his kids are actors too, weird I know.

Miles does an excellent job at explaining the fake OJ trial with actor Dershowitz ( he might be Jewish)

“Integrity is praised, and starves.”
– Juvenal
Sorry, Tucker. At least they didn’t “off” you. But “Thank you for your service.” Humiliation and mockery go hand-in-hand in the crumbling civilzation. It is also proof that the Empire of Mendacity will allow no one to get in their God-damned way.
“Here’s a case of Bud Light for your trouble, Tuck. Adios.” 🙁
Fox is being taken over by Rupert’s sons. They plan to make a hard left. No reason to watch tv anymore, it’s 100% propaganda at this point.
What’s interesting is that Don Lemon got fired too. Interesting timing.
I quit watching faux news before Bill (don’t let anybody finish a god damn sentence) O’Reilly was kicked to the curb for trying to fuck anything that would stay still.
I miss Charles Krauthammer . RIP
O’reilley is a nasty man who made a lot of enemies. Tucker was a vast improvement in the likability department but at the end of the day he still worked for the globalist Fox and pushed the bugs. He should have refused and walked off on his own terms. Now he has egg on his face.
He’s See Eye Aye like Tucker and the rest of them.
FoxNews = the right-most edge of a leftward moving Overton Window.
A corral panel for straggling sheep if you will.
I first said that at least 15 years ago but nobody wanted to hear it.
Some else understands the Overton shift!
Has been mostly propaganda from the start- they just don’t see the need to disguise it anymore- apparently the sheeple can’t see through even the thinnest veil or even when right out in the open.
This!!!!
They can’t see it, they are really fucking dumb. Keep paying sheeple and remember to VOTE harder in 2024
I bet some fanatic was bothering him too much to do a show on ‘cancel culture’ that Fox had no choice but to sever ties. Ripple effect. Momma ain’t gonna be happy with her sonny boy.
It was obvious and only a matter of time after “they” killed the airing of the June 6 tapes
Some disgruntled Small Hat producer sued for discrimination but I think you are right it was June 6 being exposed that had to be stopped…and they were successful. No need for cable now.
Just stream Real Americas Voice on your smart TV or computer, pad, phone.
January
Right you are, January 6. Thank you!
He also attacked Pharma recently.
No matter what you think of Tucker there was a least the illusion of free speech, now even that is gone.
Exactly. I figure they’re trying to herd the Tucker watchers onto the internet where they are easy to spy on to compile their dissident list.
You are here, so welcome to the list.
Not having cable I can’t boycott Fox any more than I’d already been doing. Any remaining viewers are obvious imbeciles.
Glenn Beck
Bill O’Reily
Dan Bongino
Tucker Carlson
Are we seeing a pattern here?
Lou Dobbs & Eric Boling can be added to the list and I suspect Maria Bartiromo will be cut soon
. . .then levin
Eventually everybody
Carlson and Bongino were a couple of lights in the darkness of mainstream media. They couldn’t have that happen. The masses might get hope. Now Carlson can really let it fly as Bongino does on radio.
Here is Bongino laying it out, and also a small segment with Tucker.
https://www.brighteon.com/ef10d992-10f8-4124-80c5-13877f7075f9
Carlson started out at CNN, they may have an opening. He told you what you wanted to hear and it looks like he was very convincing.
And he was at Heritage – so a beltway libertarian at best (aka – warmongering, big-government, anti-freedom, pretend libertarian).
Liberty- I have often wondered if any ultra liberal journalist/talking head were to start spouting extreme right ideology and saying all the right things the Fox News watching mouth breathers want to hear, would they fall for the scam? Would we see them glorified on alternative sites? Knowing their leftist liberal past, knowing they were complete commies, would the folks here SUDDENLY embrace them? You bet they would….in….a…heartbeat. The stupid , it burns over and over and over.
Are half of you suckers going to vote DEM for the liberal in sheep’s clothing RFK, Junya?? Youz guys never learn.
Does anyone have any idea where Tucker will go from here?
Newsmax probably. I would much rather see him on One America News though. That was a REAL network which is why they tried to kill it.
I don’t think there is much to distinguish Ziomax from Fox News.
Transgender surgery and a spot on The View…….
OK, kidding…. but these days? Would you really be surprised?
An unsettling comment from Z.Hdg. :
“I think this is the point Frank Zappa talked about where they pull down the curtain and show you the brick wall at the back of the theatre.”
If he wants to speak publicly, he can’t be anyone’s employee. He can’t even count on Rumble. He should just set up a website to post his content for free. He has enough money.
WHO GIVES A FUCK?
At least the idiot Lemon was fired………..too by CNN
look for him (Lemon) to be hired by the bribem administration.
Tucker was the ONLY media show I could watch…….
Another gut punch for conservative America.
Tucker’s Poolroom’s where I learned English.
& the physics of striking billiards balls tells true.
the metaphysics (mephistophysics?) of grammarly & AIhangingchads? not so much.
8-ball in the side. with some snap. (nein-ball wasn’t my game … or is it?)
Mephistophysics. Ha. Good one.
thanks, mach
Why did they name it FOX ?
Run the numbers. F is the 6th letter of the alphabet. O is 15th or 1 + 5 = 6
X is 24th letter or 2 + 4 = 6
FOX = 666
Because it was part of 20th Century Fox.
Maybe you don’t know the cabal is big on numbers.
Did anyone else think it was a little strange that there was nothing about the Dominion suit in alternative media. This shows me it was a kangaroo court as it seemed to be 100% blacked out.
This whole story about Fox and Dominion is another manufactured lie.
You don’t agree to pay a settlement, then also make a public apology admitting your guilt — it doesn’t work that way. If you settle out of court, the matter is handled privately (usually involving money), and the matter is done. This is the main reason there are out-of-court settlements.
Put it this way: how many times has Chase and/or CitiBank been fined for their financial frauds? And out of those probably hundreds of times, do you recall them ever publicly admitting culpability after paying these fines?
NO. Because no companies in their right minds would admit to crimes if they didn’t have to, just like everybody else.
They know Average Joe doesn’t know how the just-us system is supposed to work. Their storytelling is getting lazier by the day.
Thanks. You confirmed my it’s 100% phony. Probably a Psyop.
Probably?
Thanks, Captain. That hadn’t occurred to me. Maybe Fox’s deal with Dominion (and the Deep State) was that if they fire Carlson, they don’t really even ave to tender the $700M.
Only the insurance money will be paid.
You just are incapable of thought- not suit, no settlement, not payout.
The False Flag must becoming soon.
No doubt, one of many. I think Carlson got ejected for what he could say, that desperately needs to be said (even if it is partially redacted)… not what he already said.
A powerful psyop component of demoralizing us, the actual, decentralized power of the USA, is relentless gaslighting by MSM lugenpresse as TPTB release narratives.
Sidebar: Notice that fedgov is pursing several high-profile and excessive prosecutions for harmless memes and pro-Russian observations from a few P.o’C. in gross violation of our undefended Constitutional Rights. Pithy truths will become “Election Interference” which will then become “Seditious Acts” necessitating General Warrant arrests to undisclosed fed black sites.
Such blatant decay of our Rule of Law is part of the controlled demolition of America’s reputation. This hastens our monetary collapse by damaging faith of massive M3 $$$ holdings abroad… leading to easier imposition of globalist SlaveCoin (which is TPTB decisively removing autonomy of 99%ers).
Not a Kangaroo court- totally fake court. Probably no court at all- just a made up story for the truly gullible.
Both Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino have been very outspoken about the dangers of CBDC – central bank digital currency. Few other issues concern TBTB as much.
They are a threat to the moneychangers.
Nigeria limited ATM cash withdraws to 40 a month , most people needed 40 a day.
People were forced to starve or use CBDC.
It’s going to be almost impossible to live without joining the CBDC crowd. Buying food or paying for any energy product will require it. The dollar is about dead. (I wonder what happens to the debt) silver and BTC are my ideas for a workaround. An article here about how to deal with this is needed.
I really expected that he’d be physically assassinated, not cancelled. This way, he may come back on another platform. I certainly hope he does.
Anyone have any suggestions for honest news and current events, besides substack?
Real Americas Voice.
That place would be unbanked in about 23 minutes.
You don’t unbank Steve Bannon. If they could they already would have.
I still don’t trust Tucker Carlson, so I assume this is all theater revolved around laundering money to Dominion and perhaps building credibility with the MAGAtards for Tucker.
Thanks, time will tell. Considering we only get a glimpse at the big picture from the other side, from our perspective it won’t piece together linearly, is the way I see things.
The evidence points to Tucker as CIA psyop. I wish it were different but we live in interesting times.
Maybe we can find out about the REST of the Jan. 6 tapes now.
Haven’t graced Faux Nooz with my viewership in years. I caught bits & pieces of Carlson’s show via clips seen online. I’m sure Tucker has something up his sleeve or on the back burner. It’s reported he recently bought the property next to his.

Finally Tuckers acting gig is over. King of controlled opposition. Bye, enjoy Maine.
Maybe we should start calling it Foxweiser instead.
I bet Chris Wallace is trying to get back with Fox.
i heard tucker interviewed by adam corolla recently, and from what i gathered tucker at least fairly recently set up his own production facility to do as he pleases.
the only people on youtube that popped in my head (that have decent sized audiences) that have the balls to take the heat and tackle these subjects are whats-her-face and matt walsh. then again i haven’t heard anything from walsh since he was hacked…
Alphabet (Google, YouTube) isn’t going to let Carlson speak there – unless he agrees to be muzzled. Rumble, Bitchute, Odysee – none of those would be safe venues for him. He just need to do TuckerCarlson.com and not even try to monetize it.
He already has the site. Presumably new attractions coming soon.
Is it possible Rumble becomes a conservative streaming TV platform? Or some derivative of the Rumble entity?
No. The woke mob killed Parler in a day. The My Pillow Guy was cancelled by his bank. The only reasonably safe way Carlson could continue is just with his own website – probably hosted by companies in multiple non-US aligned countries – like The Saker did until he pulled the plug on his own site.
Gonzalo Lira’s take:
Thanks. Gonzalo has it right on.
To me the bigger story is Fox forking over almost a billion dollars as a settlement that would avoid all discovery. Big powers were at play and nothing is as it seems.
So maybe its like this, Dominion gets credibility and avoids legal discovery because big powers want to keep Dominion in place, but lend it some sorely lacking credibility in the process. It is actually a pretty brilliant scheme.
Upcoming war on KSA is a hot take from Lira. That may be why some are willing to give up on Ukraine to secure the first Israel before they try to create the second one in Khazar. I don’t think KSA is a direct threat to Israel, but an independent KSA threatens their strategic goals.
Supposedly one of the most dangerous animals in watery parts of Africa is the hippo.
In the west African nation of amerika one of the most dangerous animals is the loyal opposition, or loyppopotamus.
The loyppopotamus is an obese vegetarian that eats meat, sucks on nicotine pouches all day, & drowns people in false hope, method-actor sincerity, & high-pitched giggles … without even really trying.
All the citizencide may be due to the whole siren call of the manatee earth momma-mountain of implanted breast tissue in yoga pants thing. I have to assume that’s a thing. Right?
Left?
You can’t find either of those mythical Waldos, tho, cuz it’s just the one massive Unibooboisie. Mencken, named the brassiere that fits – so wear it, I think.
And it’s the loyalists, to whichever part of the Jabba-mound, who are the nipples.
Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em.
Welcome back in this form, I enjoyed that.
thanks, ken
Tucker comes from money and has plenty from his work. He will make out fine. Us? One less voice of reason on the MSM. There’s no reason to watch Fox anymore.
