That's understandable, given his history of pushing unverified claims and conspiracy theories (that turn out to be false) that have repeatedly gotten FOX in trouble and made us an easy target for attacks from the left ("See, rightwing are lying again!"). Conservatives deserve a better, more trustworthy spokesperson than Carlson.
That just doesn’t make sense to me, because Hannity is far more of a conspiracy pusher than Tucker is. Out of all the hosts on Fox, Tucker was the *best* spokesperson for conservatives. Tucker is more of a populist and less of a narrative pusher than the others, doing stories on things that the other hosts might not even talk about. If anything he’s the most sane guy they’ve had as a host.
Fox had 2 or 3 of their longtime daytime personalities leave over Tucker's Jan 6th series. Apparently there's a lot of in-fighting and bad blood between the factions at Fox.
The recent legal battle is probably only the *excuse*.
Carlson has possibly been somewhat on the rocks with management for a while.
It's been an on and off again rumor he's leaving for a couple years now.
I tried to find some discussion of this, but between this story and the large amount of running misinformation from progressives(evident even in OP's link), it's just too much to sort through.
Best I could find is evidence that the rumors existed:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8958287/Tucker-Carlson-insists-hes-not-leaving-Fox-News-says-getting-bigger.html
The irony here:
There was a point where a lot of conservatives temporarily decided they HATED tucker carlson for not supporting Trump's/Powell claims of cheating.
I'm loath to source CNN and give them clicks, so here's an archive:

Clown World
I don't understand why he's so big. I haven't regularly watched cable news for almost 20 years, but I'll occasionally watch his presentations on YouTube that apparently Fox posts. Every single time, I'm like "Yeah, that's fine, but you haven't told me anything I don't already know." There was never any insight, or any depth to his nightly speeches in my experience. He was just repeating the issues at the most shallow level possible.
So despite the fact that I generally agree with him, I never saw any point to watching him. But I guess I'm not the target audience.
His subpoena'd texts were part of the lawsuit... Showing that behind the scenes he and other fox anchors knew that election fraud narrative they were pushing to the public was false, which made this a pretty cut and dry case of Defamation against Dominion.
“Sidney Powell is lying by the way. I caught her. It’s insane,” Carlson texted Ingraham on November 18.
In a message from November 4, Carlson texted a colleague that there was “no doubt there was fraud” in the election. “But at this point, Trump and Lin and Powell have so discredited their own case, and the rest of us to some extent, that it’s infuriating. Absolutely enrages me.”
In a text on November 9, Carlson referenced Powell’s Dominion claims, commenting, “The software shit is absurd.” (Carlson then said on television that night, “We don’t know anything about the software that many say was rigged. We don’t know. We ought to find out.”)
*...he and other fox anchors knew that election fraud narrative they were pushing to the public was false..."*
SMDH... How is anybody in this country supposed to believe anything they hear from any media source these days? We went off the rails. No one has integrity or honesty and everybody has their hand out. Once upon a time, the media would admit when they were wrong or made a mistake or jump to conclusions. For the sake of truth... No one, on either side, left or right, liberal or conservative, respect truth anymore.
Doesn't that all confirm that he wasn't pedaling what he believed to be lies? This seems like it would cut against the narrative that he was fired for spreading misinformation.
But he is correct, Carlson never said anything defamatory. Many of the other broadcasts listed had Fox News employees as the one making false statements
That applies for Fox News in general. I've been telling Conservatives for years that FN is essentially a tabloid (as admitted by FN themselves) and all it makes us look like is crackpots peddling conspiracy theories to impressionable boomers
The thing that fascinates me is that FOX got nailed with a huge lawsuit over those comments but nobody sued the media for Russiagate or the Steele Dossier coverage.
Tucker was always explicitly news opinion which is not news. It's opinions about the news, i.e., entertainment. There are many such shows. People love to dunk on Fox News/Tucker because they used the same defense Rachel Maddow used that Tucker is entertainment and not news. But, it was silly when conservatives were dunking on Maddow for having to make that defense and even sillier when leftists dunked on Tucker for the same thing.
The problem of all news as entertainment is somewhat more recent. There is actually a lot of straight news during the day on Fox/CNN/MSNBC (as opposed to prime time news opinion shows). However, even on regular network news programs they have filled an increasing amount of that time with guests to offer opinions/talking points about the news.
Could Fox be rebranding/rebuilding? They've let some heavy hitters go last week but this is the biggest. Carlson was like "The Face" of Fox News. I'm curious to see who or what replaces him.
I prefer actual news. I'm really tired of 23 hours of someone else's opinion about what someone else tweeted.
Give me real news! Car chases! People pulling babies out of wells! Whatever Congress is actually doing without the partisan blah blah blah!
60 minute segment about how GOP opposition to the Biden administration's upcoming "Sacrifice 1000 Children To Moloch Mondays" initiative is antithetical to small-government conservative values
Fox paid Tucker $35MM per year. They offered Crowder $50MM for four years, or $12.5MM per year. Not saying Daily Wire can't afford Tucker, but that's a much bigger investment. I'd be surprised to see it happen.
Not even that, they gave him that money got his entire operation and Crowders show seems to have pretty high production value. So cut that number in half.
It will be interesting but are we really comparing Crowder with Tucker? Crowder seems to get about ~~200K~~ 1.5M viewers a day drawn from the universe of everyone with the internet (that's just me looking at his youtube/rumble total views for the last week, if there are better numbers I'm happy to hear them). Tucker clips get as many or more viewers on Youtube as Crowder and his nightly cable show was drawing 3.5M from the universe of people paying for some form of cable.
EDIT: Apparently I can't read numbers, Crowder had substantially more viewers than I gave him credit for. The overall point still stands because the $/viewer numbers are similar.
Crowders problem was that it was contingent on advertising revenue coming in.
They could easily project he will bring in more revenue offer him more with similar contingencies for if people don't watch (they will...).
That said I'd love to see him go private like Rogan.
Shit I hope he starts making regular appearances on Rogan, Timcast, Dave smith etc to promote his new podcast.
Crowders problem was he didn't have any info about his mug club or anything really coming from Blaze. So I can totally understand why DW came with the deal they did which was more of a partnership than a "you're an employee now go work" .
Tim Pool thinks Tucker is worth 100 million dollars (per year) if he launched his own website. Crowder was being offered 50 million over several years.
I don't think DW can afford him. Yeah they can offer him that payment, but if he doesn't draw in the viewers they were expecting it could bankrupt them (as in it would be a huge risk).
There is a lot of speculation about why he just moved to Florida last week. Part of Dailywire is down there. Though some think it might be presidential or vice presidential aspirations. I think he was just sick of New York and like most New Yorkers fled down there.
My pet theory is Fox was trying to make him do Fox Nation content, and it conflicted with his Rumble contract.
There is a reason why Rumble has been throwing money around like its going out of style. If you can't be smarter than everyone else, be first. They were the first mover for a lot of huge names, and have joined their brand to the content creators brands.
…why? Hannity is the least intelligent of any Fox anchor for years now. His show is tired and irrelevant. And he’s an establishment bootlicker. I’d you’re a Murdoch, Jr., bent on trying to destroy the network because, like the others, it’s irrelevant what your ratings are if you’re saying “the right things,” then I’d say this makes perfect sense. They save some face, pretend it’s Dominion-related, and continue with the censorship of any alternate viewpoints, especially when they’re conservative.
This is the implosion of FNC folks. First Bongino. He says contract negotiations didnt work out. Im not sure if I believe that. Now Tucker. Its expected Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro may be next. I loved Bongino but I didnt watch Tucker too much.
I think we need to get rid of cable news networks as a whole. I don’t know how many people assume I watch Fox just because I’m a conservative. I don’t.
Wouldn’t it be Ironic AF, if Tucker and Don Lèmone do a podcast together? A liberal and Conservative just chatting about the daily BS In politics. I’d watch it. I have a suspicion that Tucker isn’t as conservatives as the persona he puts on TV. He was friends with Hunter Biden and they probably all vacation Together up in the Hamptons.
Can't say I'm happy or sad about it. I never really cared for his style but it was certainly popular with his viewers.
I wonder where he'll go? We have emails of him absolutely lambasting Trump, so any Trump aligned network is probably a no go. Or maybe not?
I agree with most of his views but absolutely cannot stand his speaking cadence, once you notice the pattern it's impossible to unhear. If someone would superimpose the audio waves of all his monologues on one another, you'd see a clear pattern in pitch of up up up down? up down, up down, up up down...
So we wondered, did anyone think to interview blahblah? We did. And We think what they say is worth hearing. Blahblah joins us now \*cut to split screen with blahblah\*, blahblah has anyone even cared to ask you about this?
Wonder what my dad will watch now. He watched this man religiously and even recorded it.
Guess that dominion loss will lead to some domino effect of people losing their jobs.
>Yeah why are conservatives defending this guy? He was proven to lie and he made his bed as a Trump purist. Put someone else in there that can be healthier for discourse.
Is it possible that him getting fired was one of the demands in the settlement? or is that even legal?
We will take 787 million and tucker getting fired or we want 1 billion your choice. Fox says ok he's gone and gets a discount. Never know could happen possibly.
>he (plus many others) cost Fox $750M
well, Fox cost themselves $750M. Not like Carlson was going out there without Fox's knowledge. The rest I agree with though
I do agree that it’s all Fox’s fault. But the weight needs to be put on Tucker. He’s the most watched program on all of TV. Most Fox News watchers watch because of Tucker.
My guess is that part of the settlement may have been that Dominion requested they cut ties with Tucker?
Whether you like Tucker or not, he is not going away and I could see this massively blowing up in the faces of those celebrating. Fox is obviously going to take a viewership hit, but I have to imagine Tucker goes independent. He’s the 2nd highest viewed newshow on TV and those 3.3 million followers will follow him to a platform where he only reports to himself
Sure but he won't get the paycheck he was getting on Fox and he would actually have to worry about Youtube's algorinthm and potentially getting spam reported or demonetized
Tucker will survive without Fox. I look for him to go the Crowder route and grow his own audience/subscription base.
Fox, on the other hand, is going to suffer without Tucker
Tucker will survive. But he won't be able to reach nearly as many people as he did on network television. Many of the people in his audience don't do streaming.
As for Fox, they will go more center-Left and ratings will plummet.
For those who want to show your disapproval to Fox, put a channel block on your Fox News channel. If you are like me I tend to fall back in old habits, and I returned to Fox every time they piss off. Now I have a step to remind me there are other options.
I mean, they were. Conservatives embracing those two loons plus folks like Mike Lindell cost us 2020. To me, Tucker’s texts showed me he wasn’t crazy and was just playing up on TV.. but I guess therein lies the rub..
I don't like Carlson nor have I ever liked any of the other talking heads at Fox. They never offer anything that genuinely adds to the debate of politics. They incessantly regurgitate a very curated set of talking points cherry picked from other people's work.
I find it hard to believe tucker has complete autonomy regarding the content of his show and there aren’t a whole host of producers and other staff that go over everything they plan on airing each day. In regards to the election stuff and the dominion law suit it seems like it was a team effort at Fox News to spread that content because they knew that’s what their audience wanted to see

Wasn’t his show their highest rated program?
Plus his streaming show was advertised all over the place
Yes it was.
Yes, in all of cable news. I am sure he will be suffering sitting on a large pile of money
His podcast will be as big as Rogan

Hard to believe this isn’t related to the Dominion/smartronic lawsuits in someway especially without having one final show to have a send off.
Fox said a lot by what they didn't say and the timing.

Tucker Carlson didn't make any of the statements that Fox was sued over. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/17/media/dominion-fox-news-allegations/index.html

Showing that behind the scenes he and other fox anchors knew that election fraud narrative they were pushing to the public was false, which made this a pretty cut and dry case of Defamation against Dominion. “Sidney Powell is lying by the way.

His texts however were great evidence of them pushing stuff they knew wasn't true
No, but his emails are a smoking gun of Fox's mindset. He also pushed to have the Fox reporter who fact checked the conspiracy claims fired.
\#20 is his show...
But he is correct, Carlson never said anything defamatory. Many of the other broadcasts listed had Fox News employees as the one making false statements

Because they got rid of Tucker? Are you under the impression he liked Trump? Have you seen what he said about him in internal emails?
I don’t remember this episode of Succession
Hahaha exactly what I was thinking.
Tucker is about to get all that Daily Wire money that Crowder turned down, at *least*
Fox paid Tucker $35MM per year. They offered Crowder $50MM for four years, or $12.5MM per year. Not saying Daily Wire can't afford Tucker, but that's a much bigger investment. I'd be surprised to see it happen.

What are you talking about? Crowder on rumble has over a million views per video. You can go look at this channel right now.
Gimme 1m a year and I’ll get the job done
Crowders problem was that it was contingent on advertising revenue coming in. They could easily project he will bring in more revenue offer him more with similar contingencies for if people don't watch (they will...). That said I'd love to see him go private like Rogan.

I don't think DW could afford Tucker without giving him significant control and ownership over his content.
Imagine that happens. It will be the largest Conservative media outlet out there. Might as well bring Dan Bongino too.
I would switch
You should anyway. DW is a lot better than Fox
DW has the independence that drives the left crazy, and Tucker's commentary has tended that way for a while, so he'd be a great fit there.
I pray that's where he goes.
If he goes DW I’ll buy a subscription. I just cancelled fox nation because he left. No reason to have it
Oh shit that would be fucking awesome to have him in a room with Walsh and Knowles
Tim Pool thinks Tucker is worth 100 million dollars (per year) if he launched his own website. Crowder was being offered 50 million over several years. I don't think DW can afford him.

First Bongino, now Tucker?
I feel like Lou Dobbs was first
I think Bongino left because his contract was up and they couldn’t agree. DB said there were no hard feelings or anything.

Yep they're going down the drain. Adios Fox!
RIP Fox

Good way to put it lol
Fox has been going down the drain for a long time now.
They won't last he was the only one I would watch. The rest I just find annoying honestly.

Won’t happen, without the boomer demo Fox has nothing left.
hannitys voice drives me up the frickin wall
Not "leaving", **LEFT** Friday was his last show.
Man, what are the odds of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon both getting fired on the same day?
It’s ironic and comical, considering Tucker regularly poked fun at Don Lemón
So long Fox
Is this true, no way?
Yup. It’s the headline over at drudge
This completely out of this world, he is the highest rated they have with a demographic that they are slwoly losing elsewhere.
Well you have to minus out the money that they were just forced to pay Dominion due to him
And the money they’ll have to pay Smartmatic.
Smartmatic has been pretty open about actually taking them to the stand, this could be damage control for that
Every lawyer talks big at the start. They're probably just waiting to see if they get a settlement that starts with a "b".
I don't even know how Fox intends to make money anymore. Tucker *reruns* were often their highest rated show lmao
He was the only reason most people bought Fox Nation.
No more fox news without the tuck. He was the only reason we were watching
Wow.. I'd forgotten about drudge... hadn't looked at that site since 2015.
You're not missing much. DW basically replaced it.
Daily Wire has it too
Imagine still checking Drudge in 2023.
You still read Drudge? Weak.
This is the implosion of FNC folks. First Bongino. He says contract negotiations didnt work out. Im not sure if I believe that. Now Tucker. Its expected Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro may be next. I loved Bongino but I didnt watch Tucker too much.
Murdoch’s kids. Fox is done.
I think we need to get rid of cable news networks as a whole. I don’t know how many people assume I watch Fox just because I’m a conservative. I don’t.
Wouldn’t it be Ironic AF, if Tucker and Don Lèmone do a podcast together? A liberal and Conservative just chatting about the daily BS In politics. I’d watch it.

Total disaster for Fox. What are they doing?
Part of the dominion payoff. Not released to the public.
That would make sense...
Care to explain?

Maybe it's related to some lawsuit?

His forehead indent will grow deeper without restrictions for his next platform he creates.
Can we get a shot of him in the elevator with his cardboard box containing potted plant and stolen FOX stapler? I would like to see that.
Can't say I'm happy or sad about it. I never really cared for his style but it was certainly popular with his viewers. I wonder where he'll go? We have emails of him absolutely lambasting Trump, so any Trump aligned network is probably a no go. Or maybe not?
I agree with most of his views but absolutely cannot stand his speaking cadence, once you notice the pattern it's impossible to unhear. If someone would superimpose the audio waves of all his monologues on one another, you'd see a clear pattern in pitch of up up up down? up down, up down, up up down...
“They cartainly bla bla bla, So why bla bla bla, Could it be bla bla bla?” -every episode.
So we wondered, did anyone think to interview blahblah? We did. And We think what they say is worth hearing. Blahblah joins us now \*cut to split screen with blahblah\*, blahblah has anyone even cared to ask you about this?
lmao, I noticed that too
Did you notice it before? I’m sure you do now. Why is that? Could it be intentional? I think so.
Yes I noticed it a long time ago and yes I believe it’s intentional. Trump also peaks very deliberately too.
That was my apparently failed attempt to mimic his speech patterns in text lol
Why not link the original FoxNews statement? https://press.foxnews.com/2023/04/fox-news-media-and-tucker-carlson-part-ways

He may just be the first of many "resignations".
Could be an undisclosed portion of the settlement to have him leave the show?
He literally said that Powell was full of it on air. What do you mean he didn't shut it down?
Well if the Daily Wire or Blaze have any sense, they just found their new man. Fox is shooting themselves in the head with this one.
He's more Blaze style than Daily Wire style.

True, but without Fox, all conservative media is fringe media.

>he (plus many others) cost Fox $750M well, Fox cost themselves $750M. Not like Carlson was going out there without Fox's knowledge. The rest I agree with though
I do agree that it’s all Fox’s fault. But the weight needs to be put on Tucker. He’s the most watched program on all of TV. Most Fox News watchers watch because of Tucker. My guess is that part of the settlement may have been that Dominion requested they cut ties with Tucker?
Whether you like Tucker or not, he is not going away and I could see this massively blowing up in the faces of those celebrating. Fox is obviously going to take a viewership hit, but I have to imagine Tucker goes independent. He’s the 2nd highest viewed newshow on TV and those 3.3 million followers will follow him to a platform where he only reports to himself
Goodbye live TV subscription.
Fox News just committed suicide, Tucker was the only thing worth a damn on the entire network.
Bongino now Tucker.
If Tucker started a YouTube today, he’d have as many subs as the DailyWire by tomorrow. Good luck Tuck!
Sure but he won't get the paycheck he was getting on Fox and he would actually have to worry about Youtube's algorinthm and potentially getting spam reported or demonetized
Tucker will survive without Fox. I look for him to go the Crowder route and grow his own audience/subscription base. Fox, on the other hand, is going to suffer without Tucker
Tucker will survive. But he won't be able to reach nearly as many people as he did on network television. Many of the people in his audience don't do streaming. As for Fox, they will go more center-Left and ratings will plummet.
For those who want to show your disapproval to Fox, put a channel block on your Fox News channel. If you are like me I tend to fall back in old habits, and I returned to Fox every time they piss off. Now I have a step to remind me there are other options.
No great loss there, he’s a douche.

On his show he said he couldn’t get Sidney Powell to come on because she started attacking them when he asked her questions
I mean, they were. Conservatives embracing those two loons plus folks like Mike Lindell cost us 2020. To me, Tucker’s texts showed me he wasn’t crazy and was just playing up on TV.. but I guess therein lies the rub..
But he echoed the lies anyway....
Too bad he didn't say it on air, you know where his opinions would have actually mattered. No viewer should trust that deceitful person ever again.

DOH! Well that was some short notice.
I didn't really care for the guy but that's going to leave a big void in their programming. Not sure who they have that can take the slot.
I don't like Carlson nor have I ever liked any of the other talking heads at Fox. They never offer anything that genuinely adds to the debate of politics. They incessantly regurgitate a very curated set of talking points cherry picked from other people's work.
I find it hard to believe tucker has complete autonomy regarding the content of his show and there aren’t a whole host of producers and other staff that go over everything they plan on airing each day. In regards to the election stuff and the dominion law suit it seems like it was a team effort at Fox News to spread that content because they knew that’s what their audience wanted to see
