Tucker Carlson Departs Fox News, Pushed Out by Rupert Murdoch

By Los Angeles Times. Fox News announced the stunning departure of its top-rated host Monday with no explanation, but people familiar with the situation who were not authorized to comment publicly said the decision to fire Carlson came straight from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch with input from board members and other Fox Corp. executives. . .

Carlson’s exit is related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, the producer fired by the network last month . . . Grossberg was moved off of “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo” and onto “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” where she alleged she was bullied and subjected to antisemitic comments, according to a lawsuit in New York. . .

Murdoch also was said to be concerned about Carlson’s coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The host has promoted the conspiracy theory that it was provoked by government agents, and Carlson has called Ray Epps — a Texas man who participated in the storming of the Capitol but did not enter the building — an FBI plant . . .

Carlson’s ouster was not part of the $787.5-million settlement Fox News agreed to pay to Dominion Voting Systems last week, according to a representative for Dominion. (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Departs Fox News, Pushed Out by Rupert Murdoch” HERE)

Tucker Fired: Fox News Suddenly Parts with Tucker Carlson

By Breitbart. Fox News suddenly announced it would part ways with opinion anchor and commentator Tucker Carlson, who hosted the highly rated Tucker Carlson Tonight.

The separation came as a surprise Monday morning. It is unknown why Fox News and Carlson parted ways.

“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the press release read. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”

“Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21,” the company said. “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.”

In April 2020, the Tucker Carlson Tonight program surpassed Hannity as the highest-rated primetime cable show, averaging an audience of 4.56 million viewers. (Read more from “Tucker Fired: Fox News Suddenly Parts with Tucker Carlson” HERE)

Tucker Carlson’s Mega-Viral Speech the Most Significant of His Entire Life — The Outline for Victory…

By Revolver. Many are calling this the best speech Tucker Carlson has ever delivered, and they’re likely right, given how mega-viral it’s gone.

According to Tucker Carlson, the battle in America today is spiritual and it’s between good and evil. That’s how he kicked off his keynote address at The Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala.

“It’s not a political movement. It’s evil,” Carlson proclaimed about the left’s agenda. He characterized the side of “evil” as violent, hateful, disordered, divisive, unorganized, and filthy. He also admitted that he forgets to pray for America’s protection against these vile creatures—something we should all be doing on a daily basis. . .

Tucker declared that promoting abortion as “good” is actually “child sacrifice.” And that line actually earned him a thunderous round of applause.

As we look around, we see decent Americans caving to the pressures of this evil agenda. Tucker says people are now saying things they don’t believe in – like calling a man a “her” and pretending men can now have babies – and they do it in order to avoid being “canceled” by a small, rabid mob.

Fox Corporation Loses $1 Billion in Stock Value after Tucker Carlson Exit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox Corporation took a major financial hit upon Monday’s sudden announcement that Fox News and primetime host Tucker Carlson had “parted ways.”

The parent company of Fox News, which also owns branded entertainment and sports entities, saw its stock drop more than 5% in value in the minutes after the unexpected announcement.

According to the Washington Examiner, that decline in stock value is worth more than $1 billion.

Mr. Carlson had been the network’s most popular individual host — only “The Five” bested “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in the ratings last year and sometimes Mr. Carlson’s 8 p.m. show would edge out the 5 p.m. panel program.

There had been no public inkling in recent days that Mr. Carlson would soon be leaving Fox News, and neither the network nor Mr. Carlson had specified the reason for their parting by late Monday afternoon.

The Fox Dominion Settlement Exposes Dark Truths About the Regime-Media Alliance

/0 Comments/in , , /by

You might have missed it, but the most revealing moment of the Dominion/Fox News case that’s been dominating the news cycle didn’t come during discovery. It didn’t come when court filings revealed CEO Suzanne Scott’s angry emails about subscriber losses or Tucker Carlson’s text messages about Donald Trump. It didn’t even come the moment Fox agreed to pony up an eye-watering $787 million to settle Dominion’s claim before going to trial.

No, the most revealing moment of the Dominion saga occurred Tuesday afternoon, when Dominion lawyer Davinda Brook thanked the assembled press for the role they had played in the company’s heist.

“Thank you, to all of you, for being with us on this journey,” Brook said to the crowd of reporters. “We appreciate what you’ve done to help us and to help expose what we were able to discover over the course of this process. So thank you and we’ll see you at the next one.”

Brook’s thanks were well-aimed. Every step of the Dominion lawsuit was a collaborative effort between lawyers and an army of press allies. Their objective: the destruction of a rival press outlet they hated, and the remaking of American defamation laws in order to do it.

The rest of the media went on a gloating spree over Fox’s misfortune.

Male Fox News Star Fired, Another Accused of Sexually Harassing Young Men, Vulgarity

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Fox News has fired legal analyst Andrew Napolitano after a male producer accused him of sexual harassment.

John Fawcett works on Larry Kudlow’s show on Fox Business Network and is now suing Fox claiming he was sexually harassed by Napolitano. He said the on-air personality stroked his arm and made suggestive comments while they were on an elevator together.

Fawcett also alleges in his lawsuit, which has been filed in the state Supreme Court in Manhattan, that “sexual harassment, sex discrimination, and racial discrimination are still tolerated at Fox.” . . .

Fawcett is also complaining about Larry Kudlow whose show he began working for after Fox canceled Dobb’s show. The producer said he heard Kudlow use slurs and make sexually inappropriate remarks “in front of multiple staffers,” including a senior vice president and himself, and there was no recrimination. . .

In his lawsuit, Fawcett alleges that Kudlow made inappropriate comments about wanting to have a three-way with a Fox Anchor. (Read more from “Male Fox News Star Fired, Another Accused of Sexually Harassing Young Men, Vulgarity” HERE)

Fox News Accuses Dominion of Destroying Messages of ‘Senior Executives,’ Seeks Sanctions Dismissing Multi-Billion Dollar Suit

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News accused Dominion Voting Systems of having destroyed or deleted messages from some of its highest ranking executives. Their sanctions motion asks a judge to torpedo the multi-billion dollar lawsuit.

Court papers reviewed by Law&Crime are thin on details regarding the network’s allegations, except that the notice of motion for sanctions alleges spoliation of the electronic messages of senior executives [John] Poulos, [Waldeep] Singh, and [Kay] Stinson.”

Poulos is Dominion’s CEO, who as recently as Sunday appeared on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper. Singh is its executive vice president of sales, and Stinson is its vice president for government affairs.

The doctrine of spoliation generally refers to “the destruction, concealment or the failure to preserve evidence by one party that is relevant to a claim and hampers the other party’s ability to advance its position.” If a party is found to have acted in such a manner, the court can impose sanctions against that party or even dismiss the complaint.

Does CNN’s Incoming Boss Condone Assaulting Fox News’ Journalists?

/0 Comments/in , /by

CNN’s incoming president Chris Licht appears to be okay with the suggestion of slapping a Fox News journalist over questions posed to President Joe Biden about Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Licht, the current producer of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” is set to take over at CNN next month but has failed to nix a portion of Colbert’s scripts that include attacks on Fox News reporters and conservative media figures.

On Tuesday, Colbert called Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy a “ridiculous man” and suggested the reporter be slapped for questions he asked Biden.

“Remember how on last night’s show I said that slapping is never, ever the answer? I’d like to file a one-time exception on behalf of the president of the United States,” Colbert said, referring to his comments the night before about actor Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock at Sunday’s Academy Awards.

Colbert’s remark about slapping Doocy came after a video clip was played of the Fox News reporter asking Biden to elaborate on what he meant when he previously said that chemical weapons used by Russia would prompt a U.S. response “in kind.” (Read more from “Does CNN’s Incoming Boss Condone Assaulting Fox News’ Journalists?” HERE)
