According to CNBC, Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News in wake of the Dominion defamation settlement. The Epoch Times just reported that it’s effective immediately. It’s a huge coup for the Left.
The Wall Street Journal just reported it. Was this part of the settlement?

The network made the announcement. It’s real. Tucker is the only show I still watch on Fox.
No reason was given, but the parting of ways wasn’t very pleasant.
Updates
Every outlet is now reporting it. Fox is going to replace him with rotating hosts.
Dan Bongino was dropped last week. He claimed there was no acrimony. They just couldn’t come to terms on an extension.”That’s really it. I really enjoyed myself there. They were good for me for ten years. It’s a sad day. They did give me the opportunity to do one last show. I don’t want you to think they showed me the door. That’s on me, not on them, but I thought it was best to go this way for now.”
Fox News never explained Mr. Bongino’s departure.
CNBC:
- Fox News announced it parted ways with right wing host Tucker Carlson. His last program aired Friday.
- The host is leaving Fox News days after the network reached a settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation lawsuit.
- Carlson’s program, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” has long been one of Fox’s top rated programs.
CBS reported the unceremonious dumping:
Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have decided to part ways, the network announced in a statement Monday.
Carlson’s final show aired Friday, the network said.
“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” Fox News said in a statement.
CNN wrote:
Fox News and Tucker Carlson, the right-wing extremist who hosted the network’s highly rated 8pm hour, have severed ties, the network said in a stunning announcement Monday.
The announcement came one week after Fox News settled a monster defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million over the network’s dissemination of election lies.
Fox News said that Carlson’s last show was Friday, April 21.
NBC News:
Fox News is parting ways with conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson, one of the network’s most popular prime-time anchors.
The network announced the stunning news in a statement Monday morning, days after parent company Fox Corp. agreed to pay nearly $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems to avert a high-stakes defamation trial.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the company said in the news release. “Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st.”
Fox News did not specify why Carlson is leaving the network, and a spokeswoman did not immediately respond to an email from NBC News.
Carlson’s program, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” remained one of the most watched cable news shows, outpacing rivals at MSNBC and CNN.
In the lead-up to the Dominion trial, Carlson’s internal communications were released and showed him criticizing former President Donald Trump and acknowledging the falsity of his claims about the 2020 election.
Carlson, a longtime political commentator who worked for CNN and MSNBC before joining Fox News, emerged in recent years as one of the channel’s most-watched opinion hosts while also embracing far-right rhetoric and culture war issues.

The Left is moving quickly to close down all access to information and organization. The abrupt firing of Tucker Carlson was just another obvious step. I expect all other avenues il l be closed shortly. May I suggest you and your family find refuge from war and destruction. Visit nukerefuge com to see what they have to offer and download your Nuclear Survival Manual. The remnant must survive an we have to move quickly. Argentina and Chile are 98% white. Panama and Costa Rica are under firm control. You are in danger if you live in North America. They are coming for us
Fox had a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to expose Dominion’s FRAUD. They could have HANDILY WON that lawsuit. In fact, they had a DUTY to fight it. Instead, Fox took their final leap crawling on their knees to Marxist America.
Fox somehow survived kneecapping Roger Ailes, the man who put Fox News on the map. They survived firing O’Reilly BECAUSE of Tucker. They also managed to squeak by MEDDLING in the 2020 elections.
NOT THIS TIME, THIS time Fox’s several attempts committing professional suicide will NOT FAIL.
MARK MY WORDS, FOX IS DONE
If Tucker starts his own Network or even just a Podcast, I’d be willing to pay a fee to watch. I refused to pay money to watch FOX News. FOX is too Liberal. FOX needs Tucker far more then Tucker needs FOX so I guess he quit!
Maybe Tucker is going to take job in the Trump Campaign or be VP. He’s a Smart Guy and has the Media Appeal and experience.
Sorry to hear about Tucker, but here is some excellent news…….BREAKING: DON LEMON FIRED FROM CNN
