Bannon said Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch, the father and son who oversee Fox News’ parent company, fired Carlson to keep “those (wingnut) ideas from seeping into a more mainstream audience.”

Yeah, that's why (sarcasm). I love it when the conspiracy promoters turn on the conspiracy promoters.

Let's not underplay the hostile workplace action being taken by Abby Grossberg against Fox in general and specifically against Carlson.

From what I've read, it appears that Murdock is familiar enough with attacks and legal actions on the content presented on his various media businesses. But what scares Murdock is the possibility of growning negative press about "hostile workplace" and sexual harrasment complaints and charges. They got rid of O'Reilly quickly, and surprisingly without much of the nonsense complaining from idiots like Megyn Kelly that we are seeing right now. But the word out is that Murdock fears a media empire reputation of ignoring sexual harrasment.

No doubt Murdock is pissed off that the FOX team couldn't put together any sort of effective defense against the Dominion defamation suit (and defamation is a historically difficult charge to win), but this sexual harrasment suite on top of it was more than he was going to tolerate. And Murdock faces another suit from Smarmatic for over $2 billion. Dumping Carlson is a message to the management at FOX that they need to extract their heads from out of their collective ass.

Some of the texts within Fox and specifically from Murdoch and the three headed snake Tucker, Sean and Laura.

On Hannity’s and Ingraham’s on-air claims of election fraud:
“Maybe Sean and Laura went too far,” Murdoch wrote the day after Biden’s inauguration in an email to Fox CEO Suzanne Scott. “All very well for Sean to tell you he was in despair about Trump … but what did he tell his viewers?”

On pressure from Fox News executives:
“We are officially working for an organization that hates us,” Ingraham texted Carlson and Hannity on November 16.

“Why would anyone defend that call?” Hannity asked in response, referring to the early decision to call Arizona for Joe Biden.

“I’m disgusted at this point,” replied Carlson.

“I think the three of us have enormous power,” Ingraham wrote. “We have more power than we know or exercise.”

Yet Carlson got the boot first and I believe it was because he was too far out of control and do not know what transpired in private. That Ingraham's text is what make me believe she will be next, the trio believed they were more powerful than the management.

Discovery of Carlson Texts Set Off Crisis Atop Fox.

Private messages sent by Tucker Carlson that had been redacted in legal filings showed him making highly offensive remarks that went beyond the comments of his prime-time show.

Tucker Carlson will relaunch his show on Twitter with help from former Fox News staff. He will forgo at least $25 million owed to him by Fox Corp. in order to break non-compete clause.

You realize that I've never once watched his show, right? Not even once, which equals never. Does it ever bother you that your worldview is built on false assumptions, prejudice, and lies?

Did I say anything about where your fellow travelers get their Reich-wing hate? It doesn’t matter - hate is hate, and you and the rest on the Reich are addicted to it.
