The decision to fire Tucker Carlson was made on Friday night by Lachlan Murdoch and Suzanne Scott, and it took Carlson by surprise. Read on.
However, Carlson wasn’t the only Fox star to give credence to the election-rigging claim. Sean Hannity and Maria Bartiromo also disparaged the conspiracy theory in legal testimony but promoted it on air. Yet they have kept their jobs, as has Suzanne Scott, the chief executive of Fox News. So why did Carlson go?
People walk past Fox News posters on the exterior of the News Corporation and Fox News headquarters building in Manhattan in New York City.Only some of these messages have been released, including one in which Carlson criticized colleagues over an early election night call, when Fox called Arizona for Biden, to the outrage of the Trump campaign. “Those f****rs are destroying our credibility,” Carlson said of Fox’s election night management.
In 2021, a New York Times piece on Carlson that revealed him to be a willing and eager source for political journalists — despite his frequent criticisms of the so-called mainstream media — caused consternation within Fox. Carlson has promoted the “great replacement” theory, which holds that a conspiracy is seeking to eradicate the white population in the United States. The Anti-Defamation League says the theory is associated with racist and antisemitic ideology. He is a defendant in a lawsuit in which some of the producers for his show are accused of making antisemitic comments in front of a Jewish guest booker, who is suing Fox for wrongful termination .
