\"Tucker<\/p>\n

According to Fox News PR, “FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor. Mr. Carlson\u2019s last program was Friday April 21st.”<\/em><\/p>\n

It is exceptionally rare for a network to “agree to part ways”<\/em> so abruptly. They didn’t even give Carlson an opportunity to announce his departure and say farewell to his fans. His fans, of course, will be furious and take out their outrage on Fox.<\/p>\n

Carlson has taken out his outrage on Fox himself in the past. He once described the network as “a mean, sick group of people.”<\/em><\/a><\/strong> So naturally, he would fit right in. Perhaps he feels the same way now that he’s been unceremoniously terminated. In the meantime, Let’s review some of the recent reasons that might have led to the surprising departure of Fox’s top rated host.<\/p>\n

Private internal communications made public by Dominion revealed that Carlson “hates Trump passionately”<\/em> and regards him as a “destroyer”<\/em> and “a demonic force”<\/em> What’s more, in those communications Carlson badmouthed his now former employer saying that…<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re threading a needle that has to be thread because of the dumb f**ks at Fox News on Election Day. We can\u2019t make people think we\u2019ve turned against Trump. Yet also call out the bullshit. You and I see through it. But we have to reassure some in the audience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, while Carlson’s program had lost every major advertiser due to his repulsive ravings that no business wanted to be associated with, he also went after his (and Fox’s) biggest remaining advertiser at the time, Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy…<\/p>\n

\u201c[Mike] Lindell seems to really have gone off the deep end. He is definitely crazy\u2026 I agree there\u2019s concern about Lindell being a conspiracy theorist now. But he has bailed us out loads of times when no one else would.\u201d [\u2026]<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can concentrate on cancel culture rather than his wild claims\u2026 If no one is buying him, he loses money to be able to advertise with us. And then we lose our biggest advertiser.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, there’s more grotesquery from Carlson that could have contributed to his well-warranted and long overdue downfall. Such as…<\/p>\n
