Tucker Carlson&#8217;s departure from Fox News was not as amicable as the network made it out to be. In fact, sources say that the anchor was blindsided and fired from his position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to a source who called Carlson&#8217;s departure a &#8220;firing,&#8221; he was &#8220;totally surprised&#8221; and &#8220;had no idea&#8221; about the decision. Mediaite reported this shocking news, while the Los Angeles Times revealed that the firing was initiated by Fox Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch and other executives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Apparently, Carlson&#8217;s firing is related to a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer for his show. However, sources for the Los Angeles Times have confirmed that it is not directly related to Fox Corp.&#8217;s settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The news of Carlson&#8217;s firing hit the network like a bomb, even shocking staffers who were close to the ex-prime time host and had no idea this was coming. This contradicts Fox&#8217;s statement on Monday, which said that the company and Carlson had &#8220;agreed to part ways.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite the network&#8217;s statement, Carlson has not commented publicly on his separation from Fox News. Meanwhile, Fox Corp.&#8217;s stock price fell in the hours after the announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As for the show, an &#8220;interim show&#8221; will start on Monday night hosted by rotating personalities, but a new permanent host has not been named. Carlson&#8217;s last program of Tucker Carlson Tonight was on Friday, and in that show, he told viewers, &#8220;We&#8217;ll be back on Monday,&#8221; further suggesting that he had no forewarning of his departure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Love him or hate him, Carlson&#8217;s show was often the highest-rated cable news show, with the host advocating for an isolationist national policy and questioning the United States&#8217; aid to Ukraine amid Russia&#8217;s invasion of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Images Tucker Carlson\u2019s Monday departure from Fox News was not mutual, as the network suggested, with the anchor reportedly being fired and blindsided by the dismissal.\u00a0 &#8220;He was totally surprised,&#8221; a source who called Carlson&#8217;s departure a &#8220;firing&#8221; told Mediaite. &#8220;He had no idea.&#8221;\u00a0The Los Angeles Times reported that the firing was initiated by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1613,"featured_media":1918833,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[3703,4726,6363,10853,6766,4564,3982,12826,3748],"class_list":["post-1918832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-carlson","tag-coming","tag-fired","tag-had","tag-idea","tag-reports","tag-surprised","tag-totally","tag-tucker"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1613"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1918832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918832\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1918833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1918832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1918832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1918832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
