FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways, according to a statement released on Monday.
“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” said Fox News in a statement.
“Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named,” said Fox News in a statement.

Ryan, clearing out ANYONE who isn't a leftist or a very, very, very soft-tippy toe Little C conservative.
I stopped being fooled by Fox in 2019, and have not tuned to that channel once in 3 1/2 years. NEVER again will I pay any attention to Fox.
Fox is right in there with ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and all the other leftist propaganda channels.

I predict that Maria Bartiromo will be shown the door soon over at Fox Business. She is a VERY good reporter on conservative issues....so Paul Ryan will fire her, too.
Just watch.

The commie sprogs of Rupert Murdock and their rage filled wives are now cleaning house of all the few remaining conservatives and truth tellers at Fox. Tucker Carlson was telling the truth and exposing all the crimes of the communist death democrats and it was only a matter of time before he was silenced. Dan Bongino was first. Next up - Mark Levin.
Haven't watched Fox since the election except for Tucker on You Tube. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and now Fox News officially has pulled a Bud Lite and is telling the vast majority of their viewers to pound sand and closing ranks with the major media propaganda organs of the communist death democrat party. Wouldn't be surprised if Paul Ryan takes over Tucker's spot. It will be interesting to see where Tucker Carlson lands.

Please remember, Newsmax gave $1 MILLION DOLLARS to the Clinton Foundation....I hope Tucker has more sense than that.

I also suspect it's settlement related. What better way to get rid of a thorn in your side but to shut it up.

The only thing I watch on Fox is Greg Gutfield and the hot women, Tucker lost me with crop circles, cattle mutilation, UFOs, etc. But he is popular. So I speculate that it was his choice.

Note. On his Friday show Tucker said "see you Monday." Seemed normal. Looks like Tucker didn't expect to be fired and this was a sudden move by Fox.
Time to cut Fox for good. There have been more and more troubling signs.

A friend just texted and said Newsmax is saying Tucker's firing is part of the Dominion settlement. If that's the case EVERY SINGLE FOX NEWS PERSON SHOULD RESIGN. Friggin' Dominion now is calling the shots on who a company can hire? The odious vile dems, deep state, left have been after Tucker now for a while. And they have succeeded.
I used to watch FOX for Tucker and Gregg Gutfeld. Guess what Gregg. If you don't do anything, I'm turning you off as well. Roger Ailes is spinning in his grave right now. I hope FOX goes the way of Budweiser.
Another nail in the coffin of our once great Republic. This is huge.

Apparently, Paul Ryan wants to remake FoxNews into a CNN. Has he not seen CNN's ratings? Getting rid of your highest rated host after paying out $750 million to Dominion shows how messed up they are. I haven't watched since Nov. 4, 2020. Their Decision Desk was infiltrated with democrat operative thieves and the higher ups had to know it.

Wow - quelle surprise?! So what happens to all that J6 footage - doubt Tucker can take it with him so that truth will be crushed and silenced. Newsmax - they're okay - some hosts I like better than others. They need to drop Rita Crosby and the mid morning duo. Actually I've been staying away from news shows as it's all the same talk over and over and we all know nothing will happen too the Biden's.
For news, I come here and Citizensfreepress.

I would bet my House that CNN has already offered Tucker MILLIONS more than he was making at FOX if he will come there. They have been trying to get away from the Liberal Mess they became with ONLY Liberal Commentators. If they could get Tucker, he could have it ALL his way! Apparently, FOX didn't like what he had to say, but still, Tucker's Show was NUMBER One in all of TV in that time slot!! Foolish move FOX!

Apparently, the Murdoch boys must have hired the Bud Light marketing genius to help Fox find their next generation of viewers (both of them). But hey, where there's gob-smacking chaos there is always opportunity. I agree with the suggestion that Tucker collaborates with Musk to develop not just a program but a totally new network that is directly connected to Twitter and Musk's communication satellite system, and is totally, uniquely committed to truthful news. It would destroy the corrupt, mendacious MSM.
Sign me up! And I'll pay for a blue check to go with that, Elon. The truth is worth it to me.

I stopped watching FOX (except for Tucker & Hannity) ever since Brett Baier smugly grinned and said that Biden won Arizona in the 2020 election, about 2 minutes after the polls closed.

Rupert Murdoch is anti-Trump and has directed his network as such, promoting deSantis, but Carlson has continued to champion Trump and even had him on for an hour last week. That might not be why, but Fox News just lost a lot of credibility.

I usually fast forward through some of Tucker (I don't agree with his views on Ukraine, for example) but seldom miss him. Fox is beginning to look life a real life version of "Succession", with a none too bright son (with a liberal wife who likes being invited to the right--read Left--parties) who thinks he knows better than his father, Rupert, and Roger Aisles as to how to run Fox. They forced Dan Bongiono out on Saturday, and Tucker, pushed to the edge, now....this certainly sounds like a plan. And, as in "Succession", the arrogant son is clueless!!!!! I will follow Tucker to CNN or wherever, keep fast forwarding when I don't agree, and praising him for his courage in tackling topics others avoid. I truly hope this dismissal doesn't scare the c---- out of Hannity (of whom I am not fond), Laura Ingrham (ditto) and especially Greg Gutteld and Jesse Watters, of whom I AM fond. Though that probably will be the plan as well.

Now if Amazon would replace "The Rings of Power" with Tucker Carlson UNLEASED they could actually be making money instead of burning it.
Tucker and next will be Greg Gutfeld and Maria Bartiromo
Anything Murdoch is history.- I'd be happy to pay $100 a year to a Tucker stream

He was their only money-maker. Why would a biz do that? Unless Fox is being bought by someone else like maybe China. Or George Soros.
Dan Bongino’s departure from Fox happened just a couple days ago, too. Now Don Lemon. The top money-makers? Rumors of Maria Bartiromo leaving as well.
What’s happening? Maybe this is the perfect opportunity to give the parallel economy a major boost by hiring these people. Except for Don Lemon. Maroon.

CNN, now FOX. At least I won't have to pretend to watch the rest of FOX line-up, since Tucker Carlson and Gutfeld! were two top reasons. My cable carrier is also the one who dropped Newsmax, and brought it back suddenly when the woke-to-broke calculation was made.

Looks like the Libs are completing their takeover Fox News. I cut my cable two years ago but would still listen to Tucker on SiriusXM. I’m am sure he’ll land on his feet somewhere. I will follow him wherever he goes.

Paul Ryan and Rupert Murdoch are idiots. And Rupert’s offspring and their wives have destroyed the franchise. We won’t be watching anymore. So I guess we can say Fox News censors free speech. We watched Tucker every single night. This is probably the final straw for husband. He will get rid of cable.

I only watch TV in the evenings. Tucker at 7:00 (or did!), then one ear on Hannity until 9:00 CDT when I would turn to Newsmax for Greg Kelly, then Rob Schmitt. Guess Hannity won't be getting half of me any more. I'd rather read a book and get my news from here, Conservative Treehouse and MOTUS.

I remember tuning in to the FNC since day one. Since Roger Ailes died VP of Operations Bill Shine got fired adn old man Rupert Murdoch gave control to his lefty sons the oldest is still on the B of D along with that RINO eunuch the channel has become CNN lite. The kicker was when Howdie Doodie lookalike Brett Bier called AZ early for the Joetard in 2020. That and the preceded horrendous first debate with "moderator" runt Chris Wallace running interference for Kumquat Biden while hammering the sitting President. Tucker and Gutfeld are the only reasons I watched the channel and with the former now gone staying up for Gutfeld may not be worth it.
