Tucker Carlson's Fox News Ouster Reportedly Done at Direction of Rupert Murdoch
Carlson served as Fox News' most popular host with an average prime-time audience of 2.5 million viewers. But following the network's recent $787 million settlement in the Dominion Voting lawsuit, the cost of keeping Carlson may have turned out to be too much. | The decision to cut Tucker Carlson from Fox News' host lineup reportedly came down from none other than Rupert Murdoch, the media organization's billionaire chairman. ● Officials with knowledge of the behind-the-scenes developments indicated that Murdoch made the decision after taking into consideration commentary from the news group's board members. Insiders have also noted that Carlson's termination was related to a discrimination lawsuit filed by former producer Abby Grossberg. The lawsuit at the center of Carlson's termination was filled with damaging accusations against the network, including misogynistic comments and antisemitic jokes. However, Grossberg, was not suing Carlson solely for the unprofessional and discriminatory behavior she experienced. In fact, the lawsuit claims she became a scapegoat for the network’s male hosts, like Carlson. Grossberg alleges the network’s lawyers coerced her into giving a false deposition regarding the recently settled Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit, which was ongoing at the time.
