FOX NEWS CANCELS SELF AFTER CANCELLING TUCKER CARLSON – Out of the blue, Fox News announced that the legendary top ratings news host, Tucker Carlson, would no longer be working for the company, effective immediately. The company claimed the departure was mutual. Immediately after the ouster #BoycottFox trended on Twitter and stocks lost $1 billion in value.
Anonymous sources are saying the firing was related to a discrimination lawsuit by a former booking producer targeting, in part, Tucker Carlson’s team. Murdoch allegedly was also not happy of Carlson’s coverage of the January 6th protests where Tucker alleged the FBI was an active instigator in inciting violence.
Tucker was in the midst of negotiating for a contract extension that was earmarked for 2029 at roughly $20 million a year, while Murdock is rumored to be shopping Fox News to a buyer. The Daily Mail is reporting an anonymous Fox News source telling them, ‘Tucker still hasn’t been given any indication of why he was taken off the air. His producer Justin Wells was fired too. We believe Rupert wants to sell the company and it’s harder to find an institutional buyer with Tucker as the main star. Tucker gone makes it more of an appealing media company to buy.’
U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said of the ouster, “Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy. What I will say, though, is, while I’m very glad that the person that is arguably responsible for the — some of the largest — driving some of the most amounts of death threats, violent threats not just to my office, but to plenty of people across the country, I also kind of feel like I’m waiting for the cut scene at the end of a Marvel movie after all the credits have rolled, and then you see, like, the villain’s hand re-emerge out to grip over like the end of the building or something. But de-platforming works and it is important and — there you go. Good things can happen.”
A sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives openly celebrates the notion of “deplatforming” members of the press for having non-DNC-approved thoughts, while accusing Tucker of inciting violence, which she herself was ACTUALLY doing in the violent rhetoric (particularly so because she is a member of the government) she openly shared on multiple social media platforms. She wants more violence as a means of political persuasion, as is the nature of leftism at its core.
Just before the cancellation, AOC said this about Tucker and Fox News, further violent rhetoric claiming to be against the very thing she is accusing others of:
“I believe that when it comes to broadcast television, like Fox News, these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms of what’s allowed on air and what isn’t.”
“When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of these other folks on Fox do, it is very, very clearly incitement of violence — very clearly incitement of violence. And that is the line that we have to be willing to contend with.”
Donald Trump came out in support of Tucker, and expressed shock at the sudden departure. He said, “I’m surprised. He’s a very good person and a very good man, and very talented. I think Tucker’s been terrific, especially over the last year or so.”
Former Fox News Host Meghan Kelly called the decision “a terrible move.” She said Fox News made a “massive misjudgment of what their audience wants.”
On Meghan Kelly’s Sirius XM Podcast, she said, “This is a terrible move by Fox, and it’s a great thing for Tucker Carlson. I don’t know what drove Fox News to make this decision, and it was clearly Fox News’s decision because they’re not letting him say goodbye. That’s my supposition. That’s not inside knowledge.”
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele felt compelled to comment on Carlson’s ouster, suggesting there would be a smear campaign against Carlson and further attempts to censor the man, no matter where he goes, since “they” couldn’t kill him, though they would if they didn’t fear the public outcry.
The former lead man in the failed Lincoln Project, George Conway, parroted the DNC-NPC talking points, reducing anyone not in their orthodoxy as being unthinking, uncritical, while claiming to be for diversity in the middle of a celebration of cancelling a news host for having dangerous views.
Conway stated on The Morning Joe Show, where Americans go to die, ”That’s the appeal of him to the MAGA base. Because they want to, they want to make things simpler for themselves. They don’t want to think for themselves. Democracy is complicated. Democracy is messy. Democracy is diversity. We don’t like that, these people who watch Fox News. And Tucker appeals to that. Not just the authoritarian streak, but also, you know, the great replacement theory. He wants to gin up, gin up the right, you know, with racism.”
Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson is probably getting approached by every conservative news outlet, and, if they have the money for it, Rumble as well. Imagine Tucker exclusively on Rumble. So far, Tucker has chosen to remain silent save for a change to his Twitter profile that including adding preferred pronouns of she/her with a Ukrainian flag to boot.
If you go to his official website, Tuckercarlson.com, you get an opportunity “to become a tuckercalrson.com insider” by texting Tucker to 44055. If you do, then you can “Find out what tucker’s up to next.”
