Everybody is up in arms about Tucker Carlson’s and Fox News’ split.
Lots of rumors regarding why it happened are floating around, and as with all breaking news stories you should wait for a bit before you trust anything anybody says. “Inside sources” or outright speculations are unreliable. Was it Dominion? Was it Tucker wanting to defend himself? Was it something else?
I don’t know and only a small circle of people so far do. And even they will probably have diverging views.
What interests me is how Tucker is a very different kind of media voice and one who can’t easily fit at any cable news station.

Tucker's early persona is the reason Rush nicknamed him Chatsworth Osborne, Jr.

Way nice having Rush evoked time like this, Uno.

I suspect Fox is turning woke---if so---I hope they go broke.

Wasn't it just yesterday that AOC accused Tucker of "inciting violence?" How convenient...it almost sounds like she knew something... Nah. That would be a conspiracy theory. /s

The decision to fire Tucker came from Rupert Murdoch. Why? Because of Tucker's reporting on J6. Did you notice that Tucker reported about J6 over only two days after the J6 committee video tapes were released to him, then the reporting abruptly stopped? Obviously, Rupert was forced by the deep state to put a stop to Tucker's reporting of J6 and other areas of concern to the deep state. This violated the terms of Tucker's contract with Fox. The discrimination lawsuit filed last month by Abby Grossberg is just noise. Another bloody nose for Fox News. While I will miss Tucker's Fox News pulpit, looking forward to his next gig. As for Fox News, go woke, go broke.

It really is not about Tucker. It is about the how thought, logic and free speech are being shut down in this country. Very simple, the American Public is being lied to and manipulated and any voice that counters these lies is being silenced. This is simply not The United States that the majority of us knew and loved.

Hey, the media is taking their guesses, so I will as well. My guess is Tucker quit, nobody fired him at all. Since the settlement with Dominion, the Fox bosses are very leery of Jan 6 talk, so they warned Tucker to pipe down about it. 60 Minutes did their puff piece interview with Ray Epps Sunday night, and Tucker was probably including that in his show topics for this evening. Also, the Dominion case was probably on his list of topics. Tucker told them he will not be controlled on topics, Fox bosses didn't agree, so Tucker told them to pound sand.

Rush passed, Lou Dobbs was fired, now Tucker. Trump out of office. It looks like the Deep State can eventually get to anybody, seven ways from Sunday, per Schumer. There is nothing left to watch. Those remaining at Fox have gotten the message, and are now stymied and uninteresting. Tucker might take over Rush's spot, which has been silenced, since Rush passed. Tucker could be with us 3 hours a day, and really give the left some justice. Whatever happens, Fox has completely lost its reputation, and is a social pariah for anyone associated with it. Those remaining should turn their backs, when the executives appear.

People like Neil Cavuto at Fox News are woke. I stopped watching Fox News after the early call of Arizona for Biden. Trans-gender is to Bud Light as dismissing Tucker Carlson is to Fox News. Adios y hola Newsmax!

First Dan Bongino and now Tucker. My son heard that Judge Jeannine and Maria Bartiromo are on the chopping block. I’ve removed Fox from my watch list and will cancel Fox Nation. My sis is doing the same. Have no use for Paul Ryan.

Tucker Carlson reported the main cause of Black on Black crimes was way to accurate for the Washington D C swamp to swallow.

Yeah, radio. Might be a "Rush light" show to begin with but I can see Tucker doing his own thing quickly. I'd listen. As for FOX, goodbye.

As usual, Strom minces about, spewing buckets of Hot Air. And he is no Tucker.

Re #10, Bongino left on his own, and even wrote some nice words about Fox in marshmallow creme...

FOX needs Tucker a whole lot more than Tucker needs them. Agree with poster above that Tucker could do a great radio show from his home. As long as Greg Gutfeld brings in the high dollars, Fox won't go broke.

The Media Industrial Complex is definitely evil and fascistic as they have the approval and endorsement of the ruling UniParty. There is now only OneSpeak, that speach which is approved of by the UniParty. Those who voice words other than OneSpeak will suffer the wrath and consequences of the UniParty. Tucker is the latest victim. Bear in mind they will eventually get around to you. The order to load the trains is not far off. Be prepared.

The only thing that kept Fox alive was Tucker and Maria.
Sorry Maria, you're done. Will never turn on Fox again. Censorship at its' best. Living in a whole new reality!
Sean, where do you stand? Money or Honor? Only one choice...
