Tucker Carlson and Fox News part ways
(snip)
Carlsons last show was Friday, the network said.
(snip)
Carlsons 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 Trumps false claims of voter fraud and the companys software.
Depositions taken by Dominions 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 presidents claims of voter fraud insane.

More like kicked unceremoniously to the curb to create artificial distance between faux and fucker.

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.

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