Tucker Carlson and Fox News part ways



(snip)

Carlson’s last show was Friday, the network said.

(snip)

Carlson’s departure from the network came less than a week after it agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems over coverage of former President Trump’s false claims of voter fraud and the company’s software.

Depositions taken by Dominion’s lawyers exposed a number of private communications from top hosts, including Carlson.

In one widely publicized text exchange with fellow primetime hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, Carlson said he hated Trump “passionately” and called the former president’s claims of voter fraud “insane.”

That was quick if this is true. Other shoes must be about to drop too...Bartiromo for instance who seemed to believe all of Sidney Powell's lies.

I haven't heard this being reported yet on TV news though.

5. That's probably as close to "we lie through our teeth every day" as we will get from Fox.

Too bad their mindless viewers won't get the full effect of that.
