Tucker is fired! So was Don Lemon at CNN! Is this a April Fool's Day joke? No, my friends, it is not. Tucker's last day was Friday, April 21st and apparently he was not told of his departure until 10 minutes before Fox released an on-air statement. So why would Fox can Carlson, who has the top rated show in all of cable? Did they can him because Fox News rededicated itself to high journalistic standards? Ha ha ha ha ha, I don't think so. My take: This is about money and heading off potential legal issues down the road. If there's one thing we learned from the Dominion Voting Systems settlement with Fox, it's that Fox Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch doesn't like to lose money. They have lost a lot in the last few weeks, since Fox had to settle with Dominion for $787.5 million in a historic defamation case. Fox is looking down the road at two lawsuits from Fox News Producer Alyssa Rosenberg as well as their potential trial with voting systems company SmartMatic. SmartMatic is suing Fox and individual hosts for $2.7 billion.

Even though Tucker is fired, doesn't mean that his conspiracy theories haven't had an affect. Just to take two examples: Look at Russia's airing of Carlson's commentaries about the war in Ukraine, which Carlson characterized as a "border dispute" in March 2022; and Shasta County, CA, whose Board of Supervisors has decided to hand count their ballots in future elections (to the tune of $1.6 million). They have also terminated their contract with Dominion Voting Systems and spent $950,000 on another electronic voting system as well. How many other counties in America will do this? We don't know. https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/02/23/tucker-carlson-putin-russia-ukraine/ and https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/mar/14/kremlin-memos-russian-media-tucker-carlson-fox-news-mother-jones
