Tucker Carlson, the highest rated cable news host in history, is out at Fox News, due to political interference by US democratic party. Over and over, truth-tellers are being eliminated. Now it is the most popular TV host with the largest following that has been jettisoned.
It is highly unusual, indeed extraordinary, for a media company to suddenly cancel its star primetime host, especially when the show is booming while other TV news loses credibility and viewers.
“Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” reads a statement from the network, which thanks him for his service “as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
According to the statement, Carlson’s last show was Friday, April 21st as he continued to dominate, and his slot will now be filled by ‘an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”

One of Carlson’s last monologues at Fox…
Were Carlson and Bongino sacrificed as part of the settlement?
And where to next?
Rumble is about to get real interesting. You already know @dbongino and @TuckerCarlson talked about this. There’s a move here. I think it’s people who are willing to tell the truth and want creative control is too risky for them in light of the lawsuit settlement. In turn this…

Last month US Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer called for Rupert Murdoch to silence Tucker Carlson.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) last month demanded Rupert Murdoch silence Tucker Carlson and other Fox News hosts.
“Order Tucker Carlson and other hosts on Fox News to stop spreading the Big Lie.” Schumer said.
Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sent Rupert Murdoch a letter demanding he censor Fox News hosts.
“As noted in your deposition released yesterday, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and other Fox News personalities knowingly, repeatedly, and dangerously endorsed and promoted the Big Lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. Though you have acknowledged your regret in allowing this grave propaganda to take place, your network hosts continue to promote, spew, and perpetuate elections conspiracy theories to this day,” the Democrat wrote in a letter to Rupert Murdoch referring to the Dominion lawsuit.
Schumer and Jeffries demanded Tucker Carlson and others participate in a Mao struggle session and publicly apologize for saying words they don’t approve of.
“We demand that you direct Tucker Carlson and other hosts on your network to stop spreading false election narratives and admit on air that they were wrong to engage in such negligent behavior,” the Democrats wrote.
Fast-forward nearly two months later and Fox News host Tucker Carlson has parted ways with the network.
Steve Bannon weighed in on the news moments ago. Steve summed it up succinctly, “With this, I don’t know why anybody needs to watch anything on the Murdoch empire.”
Steve Bannon: I’m sure some people have seen this. Tucker Carlson and FOX News have parted ways. The last show of Tucker Carlson Tonight was Friday night. So this actually, obviously, came to a head over the weekend. No announcements from Tucker to date. We’re going to try to track down Posobiac and maybe Darren Beattie or some other folks. But blockbuster news, which I’ve said, hey, the reason to watch FOX, you got Maria in the morning, you’ve got Jesse, right? He’s getting there. But Tucker is really the reason to watch FOX. With this I don’t know why anybody needs to watch anything on the Murdoch empire because Tucker was the mainstay of the populace voiceover at FOX. And this is blockbuster news. Tucker’s announced he’s leaving. And not just that, the last show was Friday night. So tonight they’re going to replace it with, I don’t know, FOX News Tonight or something. But no Tucker Carlson at FOX News. It looks like no Tucker Carlson at FOX Nation.
