Tucker Carlson out at Fox News: What it took to topple Tucker.

Slate  

In 2017 “resistance” liberalism was reaching its peak. There are few cultural forces that American liberals dislike more than Fox News, and six years ago, there were few Fox News personalities whom they disliked more than Bill O’Reilly. There’s been some early reporting to support this thesis; the Los Angeles Times reported Monday that the move was “related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, the producer filed by the network last month.” If true, this circumstance would be a very on-brand one for Fox News, actually—I’ve lost count of the former Fox personalities who departed the network under a behavioral cloud—but it’s also the least fun to speculate about. I’d bet that Fox News has been wanting to move against Carlson for a while but couldn’t do so as long as the Dominion lawsuit was still in play—perhaps for fear that if the network fired the host before the case was resolved, he would go scorched-earth on his former employer if he was called to testify in open court. As for Carlson himself, well, while anything’s possible, there’s not much precedent for deposed Fox News prime-time stars remaining prominent after losing their platforms.
