Tucker Carlson is abruptly removed from Fox News’ broadcast without explanation.
There is a rush to reframe the story as viewers protest by tuning out of the network.
Learn the reasoning behind Fox News’ shocking decision to fire Tucker Carlson following a blowup behind the scenes.
Rupert Murdoch, the head of Fox News, reportedly spoke with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, in March.
After a conversation in which Carlson criticized Zelensky for using extreme tactics to persuade American lawmakers to continue funding Joe Biden’s war against Russia, Murdoch reportedly took offense. Zelensky was dubbed a “Ukrainian pimp” by Carlson.
“At that particular moment, he was disturbed by Carlson’s stance on Ukraine. A graphic on Carlson’s show had referred to Volodymyr Zelensky, president of the besieged nation, as a ‘Ukrainian pimp,’ and the host had repeatedly excoriated the U.S. government for providing aid to its defense against Russian attacks,” According to the Washington Post.
At a Fox meeting, media mogul Murdoch reportedly confronts Carlson about his stance on the Ukraine war.
“But they had drawn furious blowback from powerful Republicans who see U.S. support for Ukraine as a bulwark in a fight for freedom and democracy — some of whom had Murdoch’s ear. After one such on-air segment in mid-March, Murdoch joined a Fox newsroom meeting to loudly challenge Carlson’s message, according to people familiar with the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of newsroom confidentiality policies,” The Washington Post also reported solely.
After being fired, Carlson released a video on social media in which he makes a suggestion that Fox News management may have fired him for challenging the establishment’s official line on the Ukraine war.
According to recent polls, more GOP voters support Carlson’s stance against intensifying the conflict with Russia.
