Moments ago, it was announced that Fox News star Tucker Carlson is officially leaving Fox news. He will not have a farewell program and his final broadcast was April 21st.
This comes just days after the massive settlement that Fox News was forced to pay Dominion.
Here’s the breaking statement from Fox News:
NEW YORK — April 24, 2023 — 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 21st. 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.
FOX News Media operates the FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOX News Digital, FOX News Audio, FOX News Books, the direct-to-consumer streaming services FOX Nation and FOX News International and the free ad-supported television service FOX Weather. Currently the number one network in all of cable, FNC has also been the most watched television news channel for more than 21 consecutive years, while FBN ranks among the top business channels on cable.

The most important voice on the right just left the biggest media company on the right.
Whatever @TuckerCarlson does next, he'll succeed.
If that something is running for president, the entire game just changed.

Most conservatives I know stopped watching Fox News besides @TuckerCarlson after the 2020 election bullshit and them turning on Trump.
But now Tucker is also gone.
The globalist Murdochs have ruined FOX!

Wow. Disastrous moment for Fox News. Tucker was by far the most important and relevant figure at the network, and in all of cable news. https://t.co/Do3cbHwGYh
