Update (2114ET): After an entire day wondering why in the hell Fox News would can the highest-rated cable news host in the world, ever, the New York Times comes out with this;
Who:
The decision to let Mr. Carlson go was made on Friday night by Lachlan Murdoch, the chief executive of Fox Corporation, and Suzanne Scott, chief executive of Fox News Media, according to a person briefed on the move. Mr. Carlson was informed on Monday morning by Ms. Scott, another person briefed on the move said.
Why?
[T]he power that Mr. Carlson, 53, wielded outside Fox News could not insulate him from a growing list of troubles inside the network related to his conduct on and off the air, some of which had been grating on Mr. Murdoch and his father, Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of Fox Corporation, who co-founded the network in 1996, according to the two people with knowledge of the company’s decision.
…
The host, a polarizing and unpopular figure at the network outside of his own staff, was exposed as part of a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems as a bully who denigrated colleagues and sources, often in profane and sexist language, and called for the firing of Fox journalists whose coverage he disliked. He has also drawn condemnation from the right and left for his role in fostering a revisionist account of the assault on the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
So he was mean to people?
We also know that last week, Tucker attacked Big Pharma in one of his monologues.
3 days ago: Tucker’s opening monologue calls out mainstream media’s role in pushing the Covid vaccines despite their high risk for serious side effects and death
Today: Tucker is no longer with Fox

Fox fires @TuckerCarlson five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledging that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers. Carlson’s breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules: Tucker told the…

Oh, there’s more:
One early point of contention was Mr. Carlson’s 2021 documentary, “Patriot Purge,” which advanced the conspiracy theory that the attack that day was a so-called false flag operation designed to discredit the former president and his political movement. Lachlan Murdoch was said to have been caught off guard by the program, which also led two conservative Fox News contributors to quit in protest, Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes.
In March, Mr. Carlson edited down tens of thousands of hours of footage from the attack given to him by Speaker Kevin McCarthy and used them to falsely portray the rioters as people Mr. Carlson called “mostly peaceful” onlookers who had innocently ambled into the Capitol. The broadcast drew a rebuke from Senator Mitch McConnell, who is a friend of Rupert Murdoch’s and said Mr. Carlson had drawn “offensive and misleading conclusions.”
So he showed the public the January 6th footage and dared question the event.
There are few people in media who have their own independent following loyal to them.
Tucker is one of them. If he goes to an independent platform, his audience will be even bigger and his voice more influential.
Fox needed Tucker way more than Tucker needed Fox.

The Times also says that one of Carlson’s former producers said he ran a “toxic” workplace.
And yet, is any of that worth giving up tens of millions in Tucker-related ad revenue? It seems that if you routinely question the regime, it is.
This was Tucker Carlson Tonight’s last moment.
Eating pizza with the hero delivery man who stopped a car jacker.
I can’t think of a better way for the greatest cable news show in history to end.

Tick tock, tick tock. I ask again, if not now, when?
I think it has to be now.
I spend a lot of time sorting through a lot of old photographs I’ve uploaded onto a regional nostalgia page on FB (10 years ago when it was just for finding old friends and not predatory) where I share old yearbook photos (taken mostly by my father) and other photos of the local area (taken by myself and my father mostly with contributions from others.)
I’ve created a Memories of our Mothers photo album where I post images of groups of women from old yearbooks and simply invite people to find their mother and share the image with their family. Like this image from 1950:
(blurred but amazing how many recognize their mothers!)
It is my way of reminding the community that mothers are women without saying it out loud. I think Tucker’s stand against the transgender movement/religion is what pulled the trigger.
While this account (the “firing” of Tucker) may be the actual series of events leading to Tucker’s removal, I place great credence on the information Stephanie provided along with this comment by AP:
I think that men finally realized they can not actually create life like women can and have decided nobody should be able to.
Definitely NOW.
Your premise that women can create life without men is just pure bullshit.
Witness the seahorse.
Real class. Sausage and pineapple pizza.
A nice way to end that part of his career.
It was time to let Fox go. Good luck, God speed.
Trump/Tucker 2024!
Except Tucker despises Trump according to released texts from the Dominion lawsuit.
“according to released texts” sounds a bit like “according to selected communications revised and recontexted for idiot consumption”
TCT was my “go to” every night. I never missed a show. While he never dared to really expose the psychopaths running the show, he came closer than anybody.
He was one reporter willing to go against the narrative and expose the hypocrisy, degeneracy and lunacy.
Thanks Tucker!
We recorded his show along with Laura for morning coffee viewing sans commercials or annoying segments involving any Biden administration official talking. We usually watched both hours in about 30 minutes, give or take 15 minutes. (Once the sun’s up, there’s rabbits to be rearranged and reconfigured. Life is still good here in the suburbs of the sticks… so far so good. There is that newly occupied bunch of abandoned trailers about ten miles from here, but… so far so good)
The news about Tucker is shocking and whether you believe he actually stood for Truth or whether you believe he was in it for the fame, his obvious willingness to provide interviews and/or stories from another perspective earned my respect these last few months. I believe he was coming to terms with what had actually happened to this country over the last three years.
Now, we are here. I suspect it was his devotion to mocking the transgender agenda which brought about his end. There are demonic entities involved in the mutilation of young children and the celebration of infanticide as “women’s reproductive rights.”
We’ve blown right through End Times into some real tribulation shit.
Maggie – I had a thought last night about the tranny movement and would like to get your opinion.
We have seen a tremendous push from the left to get transsexuals “normalized” and accepted by the public over the past 2 – 3 years. What if this is all planned to make it possible for the first trans potus, Big Mike, to be acceptable to the electorate? We are seeing the really hard core anti-tranny media types with large followings being dismissed and shoved out of major media, which will make it easier for them to normalize.
Is my thought completely out in left field, or do you think it has merit?
Felon, felon,felon,felon…………………….
It’s never too late to piss off the right people!
“Carlson’s 2021 documentary, “Patriot Purge,” which advanced the conspiracy theory that the attack that day was a so-called false flag operation …
-rails against:
– big Pharma;
– transgenderism;
– bias & lies in gov. & media;
– proxy war in UKR;
– unliked by the Turtle & others;
Hmmmm…
Taking flak = over the targets, no?
Shot down, like a noisy, threatening drone over a protected airspace by the neocon progressive uniparty, to limit his effective widespread reach, in lieu of a complete, outright elimination.
And so it goes…
Conspiracy theories, red flags, and disinformation. Cue up a sarc edition of Wonderful World by Looey Armstrong, w that gravelly voice.
Harrumph!
Lawsuits/ profits lost = $$$$$
Tucker Carlson/profits gained = $$
“Thanks for your service Tucker” = GTFO
Summary: Tucker was too White and too Conservative and wouldn’t drink the Kool-Aid or toe the party line. Tucker had principals and values that were incompatible with the Globalist Murdock’s Commie mandate.
Maybe he just straight up wanted to get fired and acted accordingly.
Haven’t seen anything about the financial agreement with Fox.
Is he owed money by Fox?
Tucker will never hurt for money and what he ever does next he will make bank fo sure.
He didn’t get fired. He got promoted. He also might be a bit smarter now.
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Make no mistake. We live in a time of deceit, and the telling of truth will not be tolerated, regardless of who does it.
No mention of the jewess behind this?
She harassed his entire staff for months, and when the evil bitch got some shit in return from them, she ran screaming to the hall monitor.

Tucker’s show was generating very little ad revenue despite its audience due to advertiser boycotts. His largest advertiser was MyPillow, along with brands you’ve never heard of.
I suspect FNC will actually increase ad spend (& profit) in that time slot despite the hit to audience share.
Sad!
Tucker was canned because he failed at his real job: Keeping his audience in the dark.

Why trust a Fox talking head whose old man was a CIA spook?
Let’s see where he appears next.
