FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson announced their split on Monday, according to an official statement from FOX News. A spokesperson for the channel expressed gratitude for Carlson’s work as a host and contributor. Until a permanent replacement is named, an interim program titled ” Fox News Tonight will air at 8pm, hosted by a rotation of various personalities by Fox News .

The famous conductor, already very popular, has recently seen worldwide notoriety grow for his positions against the vaccination obligation, the restrictions imposed by governments, the war in Ukraine and President Zelensky, as well as for the promotion of the movement alarm clock and propaganda on gender issues. In his latest appearance on the channel, Carlson had a pizza delivered by a delivery hero who had previously stopped a carjacker. For famed podcaster Graham Allen, “ There’s no better way to wrap up the biggest news show in history! »

Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News cost the company $690 million.
Second Bloomberg, Tucker Carlson was worth more than $690 million to the parent company, or so the decline in the stock market indicates. Shares of Fox Corp. fell 5.4% on Monday, the biggest drop since October, after the company announced that Carlson had left Fox News Media effective immediately. A hard blow for the company led by Rupert Murdoch: the 92-year-old businessman, ranked 99th in the ranking of the richest people in the world, who is strongly affected.

Dominion collects $787.5 million and Carlson’s head
Last week, precisely on April 18, 2023, Fox News had just reached an agreement with Dominion Voting Systems, the famous electronic voting machine company that filed a defamation lawsuit against the TV channel, agreeing to pay 787.5 million dollars to settle a defamation lawsuit.

This deal avoided a lawsuit that would have had a huge impact which is why his head was consigned on a platter.

It must be said that in the opinion of emeritus experts, voting with the electronic system in general – in itself – can never be as secure and transparent as that with a paper ballot. The US system in general adopts very questionable rules. I have no elements on the specific story; but the value of a free voice like Carlson is immeasurable and that his exit was pushed by a company that works to ensure a democratic vote, at least this should make us reflect on the paradox.
