Tucker Carlson was fired due to an unflattering text message coming to light as a result of the Dominion lawsuit. In the message, he described himself watching a video of Donald Trump supporters beating up someone he referred to as “an Antifa kid.” Carlson wrote of his conflicting emotions, hinting at his dismay that he had found himself “rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him.”

I think Tucker started thinking he was Fox News, not Rupert Murdoch.

All these conspiracy theories suggest what got him fired when we don't have the actual reason.
We got nothing until someone comes out and says what it really was.

I've read head honchos at Fox were worried Tucker's racist statement would become public while Tucker was testifying in the Dominion trial and that was a factor in Rupert settling.

and Fox News value has dropped 800 million dollars, and an audience dropout of 56%.....
Tucker Carlson will rise from this, to the detriment of Fox News.

Tucker is essentially muzzled for the duration of his contract, or he'll end up on the hook for his part in these lawsuits. He just needs to relax, re-evaluate, and enjoy his money right now. He's essentially getting paid millions to do nothing at this point. We should all be so lucky to get canceled in such a way. He'll show back up down the road with a pod cast or something.
As to why Fox booted him off the air, it was probably a combination of everything, but most likely his role in the multiple lawsuits coming up. I'm not convinced, based on the text releases, that he even believed his bullshit. It will be interesting to see what form he takes after he's no longer under contract with Fox.

Are you finding it odd or interesting at all at how rigorous the pursuit of anyone on the right of crazy leftwing politics is being pursued these days?
Tucker isn't alone. Up in Canada they've targeted Mark Stein and Jordan Peterson.
Even milk toast Dan Bongino was given his let go despite high ratings?
ANY big names on the LEFT that were winning in the ratings get bounced? Or will it be difficult to find anyone on the left with high ratings?

I don't think it's a conspiracy. I think Tucker became a liability with all the lawsuits. |

So where are the lawsuits in the other direction? All those lies told over the last few years?

CNN settled with Nicholas Sandmann. His suits against NBC and ABC were dismissed, Zimmerman lost his suit against MSNBC. Palin's suit against the NY Times was thrown out of court and her attempt to get it reopened was also thrown out of court. Tara Reade's suit agains the NY Times was dismissed and the Times' SLAPP motion was granted meaning Reade had to pay the NYT legal fees. Nunes vs CNN was dismissed in 2021. |

LOL, and Trump's suit against the New York Times - and three of their reporters, has just been dismissed, with trump ordered to pay all the costs of the parties he sued. |
