Carlson has told people he doesn’t know why he was terminated. According to the source, Scott refused to tell him how the decision was made; she only said that it was made “from above.” Carlson has told people he believes his controversial show is being taken off the air because the Murdoch children intend to sell Fox News at some point.

At least Carlson exited broadcast news under better terms than those under which Howard Beale left.
Breaking News!! Carlson was fired because he was vaccinated. Boycott FOX News. Awaiting ANTIFA and Leftist conspiracy theories as to why he was really fired.

Roughly a month ago, Democrat nutbag Chuck Schumer went on national TV and demanded Rupert Murdoch take Tucker Carlson off the air.

Democrats truly are Neo-Marxist authoritarians.

Perhaps the Murdoch's came to the conclusion that present and future law suit damage awards would be greater than the ad dollars Carlson would generate for them.
A simple case where Carlson had become the Fedex Express of network news....Too expensive to continue to operate.
Same thing happened to Dobbs and O'Reilly . They're there and then they're not.

Tucker not only had the #1 cable show but also brought a lot of subscribers to FOX Nation. FOX screwed up getting rid of him. Looks like they're reacting to the Dominion settlement but Tucker was the one host that asked Sidney Powell to prove her allegations and said he thought she was lying. He wasn't named in the Dominion suit. He'll end up somewhere else but even if he doesn't he and his wife have both received huge inheritances so don't think he's too worried.

Rumor is it isn't about dominion, it's about January 6 and criticizing big pharma's influence over media.

Still comes down to dollars and cents. As history has shown cable news hosts only have so much economic juice in them.
Fox News by it's own admission is a not a news network but an entertainment forum. And like any entertainment show after awhile people get tired of looking at the same face saying the same thing.

Simple economics. If you ain't making Rupert Murdoch any money you ain't going to be sitting in front of one of his cameras for very long.
