With out even an opportunity to say “goodbye” to viewers, longtime conservative commentator Tucker Carlson was fired by Fox Information within the wake of the $787 million settlement of a defamation lawsuit in opposition to the cable big.

Sued by Dominion Voting Techniques over conspiracist lies unfold on the cable channel in regards to the 2020 election, Fox settled the case final week simply as a jury trial was about to start.

Sending Carlson — who was among the many high Fox staff who publicly repeated these false claims whereas privately discussing how they have been unfounded — to the moon wasn’t a part of the phrases of the settlement, at the very least so far as what has been disclosed.

As he is been one of many highest-paid TV personalities on this planet, it is unlikely Tucker Carlson will probably be eating on TV dinners anytime quickly. However perhaps Elon Musk is on the lookout for somebody to handle the “blue test” program at Twitter.
