Tucker Carlson OUT At Fox News, See Stunning Details
Effective immediately, primetime anchor Tucker Carlson has been fired from Fox News. This bombshell comes as a bit of a shock there weren’t any signs he was leaving the network during his final program on Friday, April 21st. Per TvLine, the network kicked off the week with a statement this morning announcing the decision to part ways with Tucker Carlson. Here’s what they had to say in their statement:
“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’s last program was Friday, April 21. 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.”
Tucker Carlson’s termination from Fox News was a shocker
As mentioned previously, Tucker Carlson’s exit comes as a total bombshell as he was sitting in his anchor chair as recently as Friday evening. Toward the end of what viewers now know was his final episode, he even said “We’ll be back on Monday” as he typically would at the end of the program.
Moreover, the network was still running promos of the scheduled interview Tucker Carlson was supposed to be doing with presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Viewers of the network are now assuming someone else will be stepping in to do the interview and they just forgot to pull the promos.
Is the network trying to cut costs?
Some can’t help but wonder if the decision to part ways with Tucker Carlson is because the Fox News Channel had just reached a settlement in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit to the tune of $1.6B. As those who followed the story know, it had been proven that the network intentionally put out false election information.
On Twitter, viewers of the Fox News Channel are all over the map in regard to their reactions and feelings about this news. Many have noted that they “stand with Tucker Carlson” and are not happy with this decision. Some have pointed out that Fox News stocks have begun to drop following the announcement.
