<p>Various reports have emerged online this week about what allegedly led Fox News to part ways with top-rated primetime host Tucker Carlson.</p>
<p>“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” Fox News said in a statement on Monday. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”</p>
<p>“Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st” the statement continued. “Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”</p>
<p>Some reports speculated that Carlson was fired because Fox Corp. Chair Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s fiancé viewed him as a prophet from God — and that it ultimately led to Murdoch breaking up with her — while other reports tried to suggest that his firing was connected to Fox News&#8217; $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, even though he largely stayed clear of false claims about the voting tabulator immediately following the 2020 presidential election.</p>
<p>The Wall Street Journal — which is owned by the Murdoch family through its parent company News Corp. — <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/tucker-carlsons-vulgar-offensive-messages-about-colleagues-helped-seal-his-fate-at-fox-news-e52b3cc5">reported</a> that what led to his ouster at the network was his alleged open disdain for some of the executives at the company.</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s lawyers told Carlson as they prepared to go to trial with Dominion that they had persuaded the court to redact from legal documents an instance of when he called a senior Fox News executive a &#8220;c***&#8221; in a private message, the report said. Carlson allegedly told colleagues at the network that he wanted the world to know what he said about the executive.</p>
<p>The report said that his &#8220;famously combative stance toward members of Fox News management and other colleagues caught up with him,&#8221; as his friend Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch’s son and CEO of Fox Corp., made the decision with Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott to let Carlson go from the network.</p>
<p>The report said that Carlson&#8217;s &#8220;disregard for management and colleagues were a major factor in that decision&#8221; and that there was concern that if the redacted material in the Dominion court documents ever got out that it could cause further embarrassment for the company.</p>

<p>The report also said that while Carlson&#8217;s show had industry-leading ratings, it had a hard time attracting major advertisers because it was the frequent target of far-Left boycott campaigns.</p>
<p>The &#8220;lack of advertiser demand meant the commercials in many cases weren’t being sold at a premium or at a rate commensurate with its audience size, which meant it wasn’t providing a huge financial windfall to the network,&#8221; the report added.</p>
