Controversial Departure from Fox News

Carlson’s departure from Fox News was controversial, coming just a few days after the network settled its case with Dominion Voting Systems.

Carlson’s return to the airwaves has been eagerly anticipated by his fans, who have missed his unique perspective on the news.

• Fox’s prime-time ratings have greatly declined since Carlson left
• Carlson’s show was one of the most top-rated cable TV segments
