Tucker Carlson out at Fox News | CNN Business

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.

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.
Carlson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on his departure.
This is a developing story…

Will be interesting to hear the details.
I think it is safe to say this is fallout from the Dominion lawsuit and the upcoming Smartmatic lawsuit and trial.
He had it coming. He's been in the business long enough to know that vetting sources is a primary part of the job.
I'd like to see Dana or Bret fill this now open time slot. Or promote Jesse to it.
Please no, not Jesse (Waters) he is another one 'orbiting' the drain to . . . departure!
Why not dig up Jerry Lewis and make him the Mascot of Faux Fox Fake News?
Why not dig up Jerry Lewis and make him the Mascot of Faux Fox Fake News?
Ronald McDonald is out of work. He would be a great choice. Think about the attraction of younger minds to Fox, wouldn't that be great to get them acclimated at a young age so that when they grow up, they might become "political clowns with Orange hair", as a tribute to Dirty Diaper Donnie's contribution to CHAOS!

Fox Replaces Tucker Carlson with Lying Chatbot
Andy Borowitz 1-1 minutes 4/24/2023
NEW YORK ( The Borowitz Report )—Fox News has announced that it has replaced Tucker Carlson with a state-of-the-art lying Chatbot.
In a brief statement, Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch thanked Carlson for his service but said that he had been “rendered obsolete by swift advances in lying technology.”
A dry run of the Chatbot showed it emitting nine lies per minute, besting Carlson’s average of eight.
News of the Chatbot’s arrival sent shock waves down the corridors of Fox’s midtown Manhattan headquarters. “I’ll be next,” a reportedly shaken Sean Hannity said.

Cable news is about to be taught a powerful lesson after Fox News caved to the woke mob and fired Tucker Carlson.
Americans no longer blindly watch the news like they did decades ago, they only watch the ones who have courage to tell the truth.
Americans are about to quit watching.
Exactly, no one watches Fox in comparison to CNN or MSNBC.
One of the things I have seen on twitter today is all the MAGA who swear that Carlson was a truth teller. It is a very common response from that group. This is all after Fox News publicly admitted that they , including Carlson, did not tell the truth about the 2020 election.
Do we all see the problem?
NBC, CBS and ABC all smash cable news.
Indeed

firing @TuckerCarlson from @FoxNews is a step that will not go smoothly. They need to understand how many viewers these people will be losing. I had only #FoxNews to believe in; now, it's over. game over. @TuckerCarlson is a man of "truth" and will NOT be silenced.
She had to go and open her big WRECK of a mouth! We might have not known she was crazy, but she intends to shout it far and wide.
They have their fingers in their ears holding in the cotton wadding
Excuse me. I don't mean to be rude, but don't you mean Tucker, "the Little Mother-Tucker", is a "Man of Tooth", no truths?
Broadcasting "truthiness" from his log-cabin silo (deep inside his 'mansion)? /s
We must never forget that this man has been $hit-canned (finally) because he 'jumped Fox News shark.' Here Carlson! Have a nice day on me! Rays of sunshine for you (in the wilderness.
May the sun beam down on your 'underbelly' and may you bask in your ill-gotten, mean-spirited, gains!
Now he is free to set up shop on other right wing media and really go batshit nuts.
True, but I don't think any of the other right wing media can afford to pay him as much as FoxNews was.
He might have to return to Little Rock
I could be wrong, but notice there is no mention about the 'buy-out' of Carlson's contract. (It will filter out later, I reckon.) I am pretty sure he has been bought out, because otherwise, he would see FOX Corporation in court on his own account!
You could be right, but there are still a lot of unknowns. Did Tucker do something that put him in violation of his contract?
When Tucker was caught out saying he HATES Donald Trump, he was doomed...
Now that is an. . .interesting consideration/take on his forced departure.
It could be that Dominion (off-camera/off-record) settled with Fox News in part for the removal of a few/several purveyors of 'noise.' Or it could be that Fox Corp 'knows' that Carlson's credibility is/will be trending down. Plus, the 'pile-on' was coming from other cases some having nothing to do with votes/Jan 6/Dominion. (There are 'powers that be' existing in corporations (boards and such) that have authorization to change the landscape as they see fit.) I am pretty that is in those 'custom' contracts somewhere.
Maybe Trump finally changed channels and found out what Tucker said about him. From there a call to Murdock and bye bye Tucker.
One thing seems certain though. I have a hard time seeing it as coincidence that Tucker is fired right after Fox settles with Dominion.
OR it was something else entirely and Tucker was only still employed because of the Dominion lawsuit. Fox felt that firing him while litigation was still happen would give them the appearance of guilt....Maybe?
Could be. All I know for sure is it has come out that Rupert M. ordered his removal (from the 'set').
You could be right, yes you could be right.
Let us all, pay...er...pray together, for that outcome. The more Fox is pummeled the sooner the "Titan of Trash" will fall.
Apparently in the texts that Dominion got, some had Carlson bad mouthing Rupert and other Fox bigwigs.
Or, maybe because Tucker is a foaming mouth of White Trash, and needed to be sacrificed to the GOD OF GREED!
Always a possibility, but how would they have picked him over the other foaming mouths of white trash that work at FoxNews?
It will be interesting to see if Carlson takes this vicious hit without further action and comment. I mean they mostly tossed him out curbside without care and concern (after all the money he made the network - but then cost the company in a lump sum lawsuit) for pickup!
Ah-ha! That big-mouth Carlson forget the cardinal rule of emailing: Never put in an email anything you don't want put on 'front street'! It would be a damn shame (though some conservatives don't accept shaming) if Carlson was not fired due to on-air broadcasting errors, but due to dissing his bosses, plural, in get this: company emails! (Who does that?)
Yahoo News reported that he was making $8M a year and has a net worth of $30M. He won't go hungry.
Best spend it or better yet conserve it wisely! Evidently, propaganda pays well!
Money is secondary to people like him, it is the fame and power that he craves. He'll pop up somewhere else pulling the victim card.
He'll make more than $8m on the lecture circuit.
Maybe, I don’t know him and haven’t watched his show.
So why are you commenting about him?
Why not, ignorance isn’t a reason to avoid commenting here.
Exactly, $8M is chump change.
But advertising that ignorance for all to see, generally is. But whatever.
A net improvement for Fox News so far. I wonder if they will repeat their Carlson mistake with his replacement.
Although it certainly is a bombshell, I'm afraid we will not be rid of Tucker Carlson. He is too big to just fade away out of the limelight. Theres always the chance his next project will be even worse for the country than his Fox show was.
Why was his show bad for the country? It was an opinion show and no one was forced to watch.
I expect him to now show some interest into getting into politics.
Exactly as are the other two in the succeeding two hours and probably a couple more. Take the stories and put their own opinion on them.
Racism, dishonesty, bigotry, fear mongering, conspiracy mongering - whats not to like ?
Since I don't watch Fox I've never watched Tucker other than a few clips online.
That POS is batshit crazy!
This insane chicken hawk will likely find a coop to roost in to continue to spread his lying fascist propaganda to his ignorant lemmings.
Unfortunately, there are far too many places for this birdbrain to land.
Wow for someone who has never watched, you certainly do have a strange opinion. Or is that the buzz at the hive?
I tend to be very insightful when it comes to redneck fascists.
Grew up with far too many of them in my tiny prairie town.
Learned how to fight while defending my liberal tendencies.
Proper opinions have standards (and practices), beyond making a buck for a buck sake! Carry on! By this time it is 'trending' that standards are taking 'down' all those who trafficked in lowering them across the country!
The proof is in the pudding, and Tucker Carlson finally got to the point where Fox News can't stomach his toxicity. They can not allow this 'bowl' to be dished up yet again! Who knows what it would do/cost the company?
It is bad because people believed what he told them.
"Why was his show bad for the country?"
For the liberal left the answer is very simple. Carlson is not a hard core leftist liberal like them that they could associate with.
No, because Carlson is dishonest and his content is mostly divisive misinformation.
Speculation can be such fun.
I speculate that it was his criticism of Fox management that got him fired.
Just haven't seen so many orgasm's on NT since Trump's "trial(s)"
Love the way the "Hate" just gets spewed and spewed.
Have you ever watched MSNBC?, or CNN, or the three networks loads of...
all are guilty of "Racism, dishonesty, bigotry, fear mongering, conspiracy mongering"
[deleted]
Another personal attack
Exactly, CNN had some great hosts in their history like Lou Dobbs, Don Lemon , Chris Cuomo and Eliot Spitzer. Alan Keys was one of the greats at MSNBC
[deleted]
I personally really liked Wolf Blitzer's early days at CNN. That was back when their reporting was fairly evenly balanced.
Got some samples.
Your triggered opinion doesn't count.
[✘]
Either-or? It is being reported (now - The Beat w/Ari Melber) that Rupert Murdoch himself 'ordered' the immediate firing of Carlson. So there is toxicity and 'bad blood' in the transaction.
Tucker Carlson has got his last 'nut' off Fox News and it ended prematurely when Rupert Murdoch slapped his next "insertion" away!
Well, he certainly has the lying part down.
Anything ya need?
Tucker likes the limelight all to himself! He will not share it with anybody!
One by one, they are falling: Trump, Fox Fake News, Ghoolianni, Sidney Powell, Eastman, and even the "Rock of their Alter", the Republican Party is crumbling.
Every generation must fight to defend democracy. Greed is always tempting!
Now, that is a real American Hero, not these ARSE Wipes claiming to be PATRIOTS!
Good, that always makes a story juicy and more interesting. May the "Battle of the Beasts" begin!
Yes, the Republican Party needs more "professional LIARS". George De Santos doesn't seem to be as effective as they had hoped.
It looks like the great White Hope, De Santis (aka Mini-Trump) is running out of powder.
MrFrost, my "sauces" (Doctors Ding-A-Ling & Ding-Long) claim that Carlson is already preparing to run for POTUS in 2024, and he has tapped Alex Jones as his VP. Their platform is "Blasting America with More Bull Shat Than It Can Handle" is the key to winning!
Americans will believe anything if it is packaged right, and repeated over and over and over again and again.
How do you think that dumb, incompetent, incontinent nincompoop, "Dirty Diaper Donnie" got elected?
America Loves Bull Shat, more than French Fries. It is all in the marketing, not the substance.
(Or, words, not remotely close to these.)
Wasn't he also on CNN and MSNBC?
Yes he was. Where do you think he learned his supposed bigotry and how to stretch the truth and sensationalize for entertainment purposes.
... and here I thought it was due to his woeful dancing.
Yep, CNN (aka Cruddy News Network) the most untrusted name in news just canned Lemon for doing the same stuff.
Taking out the trash...
A good first step towards the pail on the curb.
Don't forget the garbage. That has got to go, too. That is what attracts the RATS!
They must have fired him. His last show was Friday. He were leaving on his own terms, he would have made a show of it. Makes me wonder if they blame him for the Dominion suit. He’s certainly not the only culpable person at the network, but he may be the most out of his mind.
It would seem so. It sounds like they just dumped him. Wasn't he their highest rated personality?
He may be, but Lou Dobbs comes in as a close second. They have a lot to choose from over there.
The word is that he was fired. The decision was probably made a while back but delayed to first resolve the Dominion lawsuit.
Trout made the point a while ago that the staffer who Carlson tried to get fired is suing Fox and reportedy has a lot of evidence ( her lawyer has publicly challenged anyone from Fox News to debate him on tv over the credibility of her evidence).
I think this may be the hidden factor in dumping him.
Is it too late to revoke Rupert Murdochs citizenship?
He's done more harm to America than any other immigrant ever.
It could have been part of the settlement.
Very plausible
That is a very interesting thought. Quite possible.
Soros is not an immigrant, but he's done a lot of harm to America.
Soros , like Murdoch, is an immigrant who achieved American citizenship, becoming naturalized in 1961.
While there may have been valid business reasons for Soros to obtain American citizenship, Murdoch was forced to renounce his Australian citizenship and become an American as part of the conditions of obtaining an American TV network in 1985.
Soros invented the hedge fund and while he is still worth over $8Billion, he has donated $32Billion to charities during his already long life.
Murdoch has accumulated about $9Billion and while he contributes heavily to politicians (20 million to Biden in 2020, 100 million to his own Quadivron Foundation, it pales in comparison to Soros generosity.
Soros survived the Holocaust and is a self made multibillionaire.
Murdoch came from money and inherited his first media companies.
Comparing the two is sort of like comparing the Grinch with Santa Claus.
As far as philanthropy goes,
Forbes has Warren Buffet rated the highest followed by Soros who has given away 64% of his original fortune, while Murdoch is rated in the lowest group which has donated less than 1% of their net worth.
The blame game as to which has caused the most damage is just BS talking points, although Murdoch admitted in depositions to persistent lying to make money, the consequences to our country be damned, he can always sell out and move back to Australia.
I don't follow the machinations at Fox that closely, but doesn't Dobbs still work there? He's a total whack job.
I don't practice immigration law, but it's my understanding that he would have to have committed fraud during the immigration process, or committed certain felonies, for his citizenship to be revoked.
Dobbs was canceled shortly after the 010621 insurrection for towing the line too much
and being the first target of the Smartec lawsuit.
He currently resides at his 300 acre horse farm in NJ and does a Pro American podcast and radio gig.
Thanks for the info, SP.
No, my "Sauces" say that Lou Dobbs is working as a Hand Towel in a Gay Bath in Greenwich Village, and love it.
Sean Hannity has to be worried.
Another right wing extremist.
I do hope he's next....and they force him to do that water boarding thingy on his last appearance
[✘]
Lol.
Oh, poor Hannity, sweating out his fate in a Gay Bath House, in NYC, according to my "sauces". - Jonathan Livingston Lipschitz
A thoughtful, more contemplating man would have, "Set his ARSE on Fire on LIVE TV"!
Think of the ratings, the viewership, and the joy that so many viewers worldwide would have loved. Fox would have gained back all the "dough" it lost to Dominion in one viewing.
That is proof positive that Rupert Murdoch is losing it.

“Carlson has constructed what may be the most racist show in the history of cable news — and also, by some measures, the most successful. Though he frequently declares himself an enemy of prejudice…his show teaches loathing and fear.”
Goebel was pretty astute at misinformation.
Goebel was pretty astute at misinformation.
I hear that ''Truth Social'' is hiring. He can get in line with Lou Dobbs and Pirro.
But, "Monday" never came for Carlson!
The MAGA nutjobs are already out on twitter suggesting he would be the perfect vice presidential candidate to run with Trump.
-
Alex Jones has the conspiracy theory that AOC got Carlson fired, implying Fox News is a tool of the deep state.
He would be. It would result in the biggest loss in American history and secure President Biden another 4 years in office.
Jones should be focused on making the Benjamins to pay the Sandy Hook judgement.
I was thinking he may show up this summer, maybe fall on someone's campaign. Perhaps DeSantis or whoever is the Trump runner-up? Haley and Pence are too far down to matter.
I jut hope he doesn't do a Megyn Kelly or Greta and try to go on liberal-leaning network. No one bought it with them and they sure won't buy it with him. He turned too much into his father.
I should not vote up the "expression," but this is a one time exception! RT.com is reporting the break-up. At least, Russia knows Tucker! is available! (Is RT News still a 'thing' on the U.S. airways?)
And while CNN was running this story, they did a little house cleaning of their own..................
Morning Jim,
Lemon's departure will not hurt CNN who are on life support, Tucker's departure will hurt FOX who quite possibly see themselves in the same ward.
Tucker was their highest rated personality
Sometimes true in 2020 and 2021. But "The Five", Hannity, and others surpassed him in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Two of several examples:
[Deleted]
pphhhffftttt.....
That assumes whoever replaces him doesn't become more popular.
Probably shouldn't be TVs in the day room at mental hospitals.
[deleted]
Caretakers at old folk homes learned that blocking Fox reduces elder rage incidents.
[REMOVED]
I don't think it matters who will replace him.
If Fox simply puts a kitten on the screen for an hour, most leftists will screech that kitten is a right wing fascist/racist/white supremacist, etc....
We all know it.
What a disgusting shameless thing to say!
[✘]
Nope. Literals will ASK if Fox News thinks cats can make it a 'butt-load full' of money!
They probably have them tuned to MSNBC TV NEWS anyway.
Huh?
If it ain't for you, perhaps you should 'aquit'!
Of course they can! There's more cat videos on social media than anything else
Yeah, Carlson provided the cover to fire Lemon.
Ya Warner Bros. conspired with Murdoch to fire them at the same time.
No Try thinking.
cnn knows they have to fire Lemon, they see Carlson get fired and know it suck up all the oxygen and decide to fire lemon immediately knowing how obsessed the world is with Carlson.
I don't dwell in conspiracy theories like you do.
Weren't you literally just pushing some crazy Trump/Kennedy conspiracy to take over the supreme Court?
Do you think Friday night news dumps are conspiracies too? Guess what, companies, politicians etc pick the times they release bad news to minimize coverage. If you think CNN isn't paying to attention to things like that, their entire management team should be fired for incompetence.
So either CNN took advantage of an oppurtunity to minimize bad attention, or two of the biggest media companies in the world coincidentally decided to fire leading anchors within hours of each other on a random Monday morning
No.
Lemon's firing was imminent. He had been demoted for stupid comments to an early morning news show in October 2022.
Of course it was, that's my point. It was going to happen at some point, this provided the best opportunity to make it as painless as possible for CNN and caused to them do it hours after the Carlson news broke.
Bottom line is Lemon had kept his big over opinionated mouth shut and just done the job he was paid to, he would probably still have a job. I have zero sympathy for the man. The same could probably be said for Carlson.
WE are decades removed from when the talking heads just blandly reported the news.
Very little body language, no opinionated commentary except Sunday mornings.
Now they are stars and expected to create cults to sell everything from pillows to dog food.
And CNN didn't even bother to tell Don Lemon that they fired him.
So, you believe what CNN says in this case, but only this case?
Damn, well, at least I saw Lemon on Friday morning while channel surfing...it was weird seeing him on in the morning. Honestly, only watch tele-news on most Sundays.
Two down, how many to go?
Interesting.
Wonder what's going on.
Fear and loathing gets unceremoniously tossed and Mike LIndell wonders who to sue for the ensuing loss of pillow tucker fuckers.
It's a start. Sean Hannity, Laura Ingham, Janine Piro and Maria Bartaromo still have to go, too!
Absolutely. They should only allow people on the air that you agree with.
No, and it has zero to do with me. It has everything to do with restoring Fox New's degraded and devalued reputation...
Riiiiight.
I'm sure it's mere coincidence that these people who have supposedly "degraded" or "devalued" something spend a lot of time saying things with which you disagree.
Riiiiiight.
Okay then, you got me! /S Rupert Murdoch fired Tucker Carlson after it was proven Fox News lied to its viewers and slandered a publicly traded company mainly because I criticize Fox News...
Right? Sure they did! Get the Fuck outta here with that bullshit.
Are far righties capable of owning their own bullshit anymore?
I realize it's difficult without pictures, but do at least attempt to follow the conversation.
You've called for the dismissal/removal of four additional people. In a massive absence of coincidence, all of those people say things you don't like to hear.
Let's see, whose at the bottom of the list as far as news credibility? Oh yeah. It's CNN, aka Crappy News Network! It can be said that Fox took a credibility hit but they have a ways to go to sink as far as CNN did.
TBF, all of these shitholes simply make their living telling people what they want to hear, so I'm not sure "credibility" is something we can attach to any of them.
Tucker Carlson has landed a new position in record time. He will be commissioned as the commander in chief of all Russian forces in Ukraine. "What have we got to lose"? , President Putin said.
This is interesting:
I didnt know BF worked for Fox News, I thought he worked for Infowars.
LOL!
Lol, guess those subprime used car loans weren't cutting it.
See 'everybody' - Raw capitalism can't sustain a career all by itself! You need a 'host' of other positive traits and features to be a proper success story!
Too many far-right wing propaganda outlets to even keep track of.
must see video
Carlson got owned. Lol
Wow...that showed how thin Lil Tuck's skin is
Too funny, sorry Tucker you sounded like a fool.
When hasn't he?
MSNBC (2005–2008)
Carlson's early evening show Tucker (originally titled The Situation With Tucker Carlson ) premiered on June 13, 2005, on MSNBC . [101] Rachel Maddow and Jay Severin featured as guests on a rotating panel. [101] He also hosted a late-afternoon weekday wrap-up for the network during the 2006 Winter Olympics . [102] [103] He appeared live from Israel during the 2006 Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon [104] [105] and reported the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shooting and Johnson Space Center shooting in 2007. [106] [107] [108]
Tucker was canceled by the network on March 10, 2008, owing to low ratings; [109] the final episode aired on March 14, 2008. He remained with the network as a senior campaign correspondent for the 2008 election . [110] Brian Stelter , writing for The New York Times , wrote that "during Mr. Carlson's tenure, MSNBC's evening programming moved gradually to the left. His former time slots, 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., were subsequently occupied by two liberals, Ed Schultz and Rachel Maddow." Carlson said the network had changed a lot and "they didn't have a role for me". [111]
I guess he has always been a crazy wingnut.
As far as Don Lemon of CNN departing. . . it could be a number of occurrences:
1. Lemon had/has a 'case' against him that I have not heard the conclusion of over a sexual harassment at a bar.
2. CNN is reformatting to teams reporting (CNN CENTRAL) and panel discussions. Less of the "all-important" individual anchors.
3. When CNN removed Don Lemon from his primetime evening show; the 'handwriting' was on the wall. (He was hidden behind a 'fold).
4. Other cable networks are similarly moving people around for their own internal purposes.
5. Don Lemon, it is rumored or fact, could not gel with the two females on his morning team.
6. Now that Covid 19 'protocols' are on the way fully and explicitly out: A 'shakeup' time to get new blood is well underway.
7. Lemon in his prime-time slot at least appeared to be operating without a filter and that could not be abided as his professionalism 'suffered' waxed/waned from too much liberality during the two hours nightly presentations.
That is as much as I can think on his departure.
I think Don Lemon just wore out his welcome. 17 years is a good run. I dont think any of the major networks will hire him though. I see him going back to local news, probably in one of the bigger blue cities.
Not his "...Misogyny at CNN, Exposed: Malicious Texts, Mocking Female Co-Workers and ‘Diva-Like Behavior’?
No evolution, we're only 6,000 years old.
No anthropogenic global warming. It's all natural.
Trump never broke the law. He's an honest man.
So glad I'm not a far right winger.
I thought we were more like 300,000 years old.
(His post was sarcasm.)
It seems that Tucker was the big draw in the coveted 25 to 54-year-old demographic.
Damn shame that there are so many low IQ ignorant fascists in America.
Interesting how most are from the Southern gulf states.
They are still trying to fight the civil war all over again.
Isn't shame an outdated, regressive concept?
"Shame" is what many fascists should feel, but don't.
We should make them wear Shame Ribbons on the arms.
They can be identified by their red hats...
MAGA is pretty much the new swastika!
Good comparison!
Tho I wonder how many know who the woman is
Once again, HANNITY has survived and takes his place back among the longest living noise producers on Fox airways! (Chuckles.) Tucker has been put to 'bed.'
It's been reported that Tucker did not get any severance pay. Next up a lawsuit by Tucker and Fox/Murdoch digging in and ''terminated for cause'' will be their defense and probably will win the day.
Tucker will get severance, bet! He will have to apply the 'squeaky wheel' seeking Fox 'oil' to quiet him screeching about internal files he holds in abeyance!
"Nail Files", Tucker is obsessed with his personae, down to the last detail.
"Nail Files", Tucker is obsessed with his personae, down to the last detail.
Let them fight it out until they both collapse into ashes.
You sure know the inside baseball on this media stuff.
Don't forget the garbage. That has got to go, too. That is what attracts the RATS!
