Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
As I have reported over and over, truth-tellers are being eliminated. Now it is the most popular TV host with the largest following that has been jettisoned.
It is highly unusual, indeed extraordinary, for a media company to suddenly cancel its star primetime host, especially when the show is booming while other TV news loses credibility and viewers. Here is the report just released by The Epoch Times:
“Fox News on Monday confirmed that it ‘parted ways’ with popular primetime host Tucker Carlson, offering no explanation why.
“’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,’ said a news release from the news channel.
“The release said that his departure from the network is effective immediately. Carlson’s last show was on Friday, April 21. It means that Carlson will not have the opportunity to host a final Fox News show and bid his viewers farewell.”
Perhaps some explanation of why Fox News would shoot itself in the head will emerge. On the other hand it is possible that a scandal will be concocted with a porn star claiming that Tucker raped her.
My bet is that the true story is that the Biden regime’s FBI or DOJ got to Carlson’s advertisers or threats were made to Rupert or Lachlan Murdoch. The conversion of law into a weapon in the US and UK makes it a simple thing for the ruling elite to receive “cooperation.” The Western media no longer holds government accountable. It serves the agendas of the ruling elite.
Will Tucker Carlson’s fans stick with Fox News? Most likely. Few Americans appreciate or will stand up for those who stand up for them. This is why America is doomed.
On the other hand, there is an equally disturbing alternative explanation. News reporting, especially if it is true, has now been equated with defamation. A large number of experts gave evidence that Trump’s reelection was stolen by a variety of means. One means was the ability to program voting machines how to count votes differently from how they were cast, and another was their vulnerability to be hacked. Tucker Carlson reported what the experts said, and Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox News for defamation. But, of course, reporting what experts testified is not defamation. Perhaps the law suit itself was a concoction designed for Carlson’s dismissal.
One thing is certain. Carlson’s dismissal, the Democrats’ attempt to imprison Matt Taibbi for reporting on the Twitter files released by Elon Musk, the imprisonment of Trump supporters for attending a rally, and Trump’s phony indictment sends a strong and intimidating message that freedom of speech and association are dead letter Constitutional rights. America has changed. As truth is not permitted, it can no longer make us free.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

I cancelled my Fox Nation subscription as soon as I heard about Tucker. Unfortunately, I paid for a year in advance but I won’t watch it again even though it won’t expire until December. F%$& Fox!
My timing was pretty good. When I cancelled yesterday it only had 2 days left on the monthly subscription.
Who the fuck would pay for fox news.
Now now. Be nice. 🙂
Wait until summer, accountability will completely disappear. The sweltering urban areas are already written off and those in suburbia will pay the price. The deep state knows what it is doing, total collapse along with the fanning of flames by the media mean tyranny is ascendant, it will be the most interesting of times!
The Truth, supposedly, will OUT.
I keep hearing that and yet never quite see it.
“Quid est veritas?”
Bottom line. Tucker read what the teleprompter told him to read. End of story. You people who think he was a shining beacon of truth are delusional.
Yes. He has writers. Look at his background- education, family etc. I cannot believe what I’m reading here.
I guess it’s true that many just can’t grasp it’s all theater.
Carlson may be an insider, but he is an Old Guard insider who probably doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life reporting on Oceania’s glorious wokist victories, using the very latest edition Newspeak Dictionary.
To discount why others may be upset by this is to lose sight of the factional struggle that is occurring above the hoi polloi. Like it or not, those nominal victors have profound control over your life. Therefore, a tasteful disposition from the elite… matters.
I think Tucker is a decent man but it bothered me that he promoted the bug eating and didn’t come right out and say the jabs were deadly. I know he was trying to keep his job but still….
People trying to keep their jobs is how we got here in the first place. If those assholes still working at Fox had any decency they would all walk off the job in protest.
That’s how this ride ends, man. Total moral collapse. And we have to watch it happen.
Freak show, ain’t it?
The leftist cancel culture just collected their most important scalp. Fox News is dead to me, and hopefully to all other conservatives too.
Severed all ties (what few there were) with Fox 11/4/2020.
I believe the most concerning thing that has been going on as of late between woke companies willing to take a hit on the bottom line and/or stock price and, media outlets like FoxNews willing to fire their most successful show is that they are doing this all with the move toward totalitarianism. True capitalism has been dead for many years in this country. Crony capitalism is also on the chopping block to be replaced by fascism or communism. All of this is taking place in real time without a shot being fired and a largely complicit population.
Another worthwhile article:
They were gonna out the Murdoch family’s pedo activities .
Love him or Hate him , Tucker Carlson touched all the deep States worst fears of total exposure and not just peeled back the curtain but hacked thru it with a machete !
The J6 films alone should have put those on the J6 hanging Judge Committee on the hot seat .
They were all leftist liars & impacted Washington DC turds needing to be flushed .
Tucker put that in America’s living rooms for one night and remember night TWO of the J6 films show evaporated .
Meanwhile leftist news rallied the J6 lies about dead cops etc…
Nothing our government tells us is true
NOTHING . Again Carlson barely scratched the surface and for that he must go !
Wonder how fast this will hit the platform and start the space moon is all fake arguments all over again.

We live in a fishbowl on a rock. Behind a break in the wall where shadows are cast.
Or we are inside Ricks Battery.
Oh, we’re definitely in the Teeny Verse!
When they “settled” over the election machines, it was to deliberately give them legitimacy. The Murdocks have no problem colluding with the fake opposition to push the story they want. It’s all funny money to them anyway.
Faux News has been controlled opposition for years…Rupert’s spawn are little red diaper babies.
It’s not over yet. Even one man can make a difference. Where is that man? That man is you.
Comment of the Year!
I only watched Fox to see Tucker. Fox is dead to me now.
I watched Tucker here and there, NEVER on Fox, no TV. From what little I know about their staff it’s full of propagandizing neocon jerks, collaborators, tribal members. Tucker and Alex Jones are the only two commentators with anything meaningful to say, both have their flaws and obviously are “over the target” since both get savagely attacked by the Luciferians. Like Alex, Tucker will find his audience, he doesn’t need Faux News and will hopefully find a better platform.
Hey. Someone has to slay the heroes we create. It’s the way of the world.

Bingo this is the major reason behind the termination. TPTB are sending a strong message to cease and desist all counter narratives because the plutocrats fully intend to do the same thing in 2024! They will rig the primary process and general elections to keep any and all “populous”, nonconformist or “fringe” candidates like RFK Jr, Marianne Williamson, Ron Paul or Donald Trump from ever winning the nominations of the two bought and paid for political parties.
The Fox Corporation had to be spanked because Carlson just wouldn’t let it go, despite ample evidence the 2020 elections (state local and national) were fraudulent. The Dominion lawsuit was designed to deep six the notion of election rigging forever so no one will dare report on the theft or suborning of US elections again. The judicial system has always been corrupt so the courts will offer no redress against US fascism, so now the miscreants have almost totally silenced the media. Soon they will have all of them marching in lock step with the plutocrats’ agenda.
Notice how no one ever questions the climate crisis narrative ever; or challenges the gender confusion and transformation aimed at young people! Notice how the media ignores the rising numbers of sudden deaths, strokes, heart attacks cardiovascular inflammation in young people right after the COVID injection roll out! You get my drift, censorship and suppression just won another skirmish in the battle for freedom.
You hit the nail on the head. They are doing their best to suppress us and with success.
Yes they are.
There are possible rumors that tucker Carlson and don lemon are going hook up on YouTube
…and just like that, “go suck a lemon” took on a much darker meaning.
