Tucker Carlson’s Dismissal from Fox News: Was it Part of the Settlement Agreement with Dominion?

Fox News host Tucker Carlson was let go from the network last Friday, and new reports have revealed the extent of his conflicts with Fox News management. According to The Wall Street Journal, Carlson had a deep and enduring disdain for one senior executive, and was even upset when texts of him calling her the c-word were left out of the Dominion Voting Systems defamation case.

The question has been raised as to whether Carlson’s termination was a non-public part of Fox’s settlement agreement with Dominion. Kate Riga and Ed Morrissey discussed this on their podcast, and many viewers have asked the same question.

Carlson has a record of embracing racism, homophobia, xenophobia, and misogyny on and off the air. He was reportedly happy to call one of his bosses a four-letter word before getting fired from Fox News.

It is unclear whether Carlson’s termination was part of the settlement agreement with Dominion, or if it was due to his conflicts with Fox News management. However, it is clear that Carlson’s behavior was unacceptable and that Fox News had to take action.
