    1. ​@Samuel Pankonien the lawsuit about voting machines didn’t involve tucker. It was other news anchors in the lawsuit.

  1. “You don’t just send off one of your top rated host like this.” This was clearly recorded before the Don Lemon situation

    1. He didn’t have a good rating. I’m not sure they really needed to fire Don. But he def wasn’t their highest rated . Tucker on the other hand was their top host

  2. My own guess (and it is only a guess) is that this is more due to potential lawsuits by Fox shareholders. Murdoch may believe Carlson is too much of a loose cannon and shareholders may get increasingly nervous and aggravated about Carlson’s rhetoric and tactics.

    1. @Adam Baines we should go to loser pays attorney and court fees. That would stop some of these bullshit lawsuits.

  3. When you come in Monday morning and your boss says last Friday was your last day it’s never mutual, you got fired. That’s directly from the Human Resources playbook

    1. @ruskalnikov . . . . “highest standards of journalistic integrity”? Tucker Carlson? Fox News? You’ve got to be delusional.

  4. I wonder if his dismissal was part of the settlement agreement with Dominion. Would they have had to publicly disclose that?

  5. So appropriate. And I get the feeling that Fox News reporter that got to read the teleprompter about Carlson leaving, she had ZERO clue that Tucker was gone.
