Tucker Carlson leaving Fox

[kenny]

Why? Time will tell.
Some say he was fired, others say amicable departure.

He sure did cost Fox tons of settlement money.

Is he going to be Fox "New's" scapegoat, so Rupert Murdoch can pretend he didn't fully know he had multiple anchors lying to their viewers with his consent?

If it was amicable, why was his last show on April 21st? Wouldn't someone normally announce they were leaving and say some kind of farewell?

They aren’t letting him say goodbye to his viewers from his show. I seriously doubt this was a mutual decision.

It’s being reported Tucker tried to get a woman who was telling the truth at Fox fired. I’m guessing the tapes Dominion has are very damaging to Fox and they need to distance themselves from Tucker as far and fast as possible. I hope Dominion has decided to sue Tucker.

I wish was my dad was alive to see all of this. He believed every word out of Tucker’s mouth.

Maybe he'll be Orange's VP running mate.

Maybe he'll be Orange's VP running mate.

i doubt it @kenny. They had tapes for the Dominion Trial of Tucker basically saying he hates the orange one.

And now on the news I just heard Don Lemmon and CNN are parting ways.......

No, but he is trying to avoid being personally sued by Dominion and Smartmatic.
It won't work.
FOX is trying preemptive moves because SmartMatic is up to bat next with 2.6billion with a precedent of proof.
What is really going on is that there is a revolt among investors with several suing. This Murdoch fears.

Oops. Didn't see this before I responed to Callie's thread about Lemon.

Banner day for network TV!

That @#%$^&&*&^^$@ was getting paid $35 million a year to lie. I hope he gets sued into bankruptcy.

 

[Calliecake]

I’m hoping Fox was smart enough to have a two year non compete clause in Tucker’s contract.

I wonder how Hannity and Inghram managed to keep their jobs. Weren’t they also named in the Dominion suit?

 

[ItsMainelyYou]

Tucker's lawyering up, which means the separation wasn't amicable. Rumors so far, but some point to the harassment suit of Abby Grossberg as the actual catalyst of the abrupt firing. I think she brought receipts of some pretty vile behavior. It's possible he'll be fielding several suits at once and he'll be doing it on his own dime without FOX protections...

 

[lovedogs]

I honestly hope he gets sued for tons of money. He is awful

 

[doberman]

Oh, it was definitely not mutual or amicable. What I've heard is that deposition unearthed a lot of scathing comments he made about executives at Fox, plus he was fond of calling women c***s.
