Controversial political commentator and former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon claims that the Murdochs’ shocking firing of Tucker Carlson, Fox News’ most well-liked host, was motivated by something far more sinister than a simple nod to the woke mob: by doing so, Fox effectively silenced the only “populous voice” in mainstream, primetime media “through the 2024 election.”
On Tuesday, Bannon publicly charged Fox News with trying to sway the 2024 elections and prevent Trump from winning the presidency again. His comment still highlights the extremely political environment in America today, even if it’s unclear how this will affect the campaign.
“Tucker is under contract. I think he’s the highest-paid, by far, person, not just at Fox, but in all mainstream cable news,” Bannon said. “He was negotiating, his agents and lawyers were negotiating an extension of his contract through 2029 when this happened. …He was negotiating an extension of this massive contract, I think it’s pretty clear, particularly the way they did it and showed no respect to him. They blew him out.”
Bannon clarified that Fox News could declare, “We parted ways,” and lawfully remove Carlson from the air. “but as long as they meet the terms of that contract and paying you,”They may prevent him from running for another office until well beyond the 2018 election.
Bannon was informed that Carlson’s contract “runs a couple of years.”
“What the Murdochs have done is taken the populous voice, the anti-Ukraine voice, the anti-uniparty voice, the platform in mainstream media and primetime. The only voice out there of populous nationalism, right? They’ve taken it off through the 2024 election, which is, I’ve said from day one is what the Murdochs’ plan here is,” he stated.
Lachlan Murdoch has ascended to the throne from Rupert’s media empire, but don’t be fooled by that. He is not at all what Bannon refers to as a conventional conservative character.
“The Murdochs are foreigners. They think like foreigners,” he said. “This is all about money and power. Lachlan Murdoch with his old man, were the two guys that pulled the trigger on this taking orders from his father.”
“And what they’re trying to do,” he argued, “is suppress the platform and the voice of populous nationalism in our country.”
According to Steve Bannon, Fox News would stop at nothing to prevent President Trump from winning a second election.

“They’re gonna use any tool they can get their hands on to stop Trump. And if they don’t do that, they’re gonna back the Biden or the Michelle Obama or whoever it is to stop Trump because Trump represents populist nationalism in this country,” he said. “And now they’ve actually hurt themselves economically by taking Tucker Carlson off.”
“That shows you a signal to your audience of how much they fear the audience,” Bannon added.
Fox News is doing everything in its power to keep Tucker Carlson quiet until after this historic election on November 3rd. When the “War Room” host foresaw it, you can be sure they’re prepared for combat!
“I think you’re gonna see a huge fight with them trying to keep Tucker Carlson from starting his own network, from going to either the Newsmax or Real America’s Voice, starting his own podcast,” Bannon said. “Whatever it is to get his message out, they will fight tooth and nail to stop that. Cause what they’re trying to do is take his platform away at least through 2024.”
