In a move that sent blaring-horns shockwaves through America’s conservative movement Monday morning, FOX News host Tucker Carlson was notified not to come to the office. Carlson’s senior executive producer Justin Wells was also terminated.

The LA Times writes that the decision to fire Carlson came straight from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch. The newspaper further reports that Murdoch is concerned over Carlson’s coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection [our word] and his arguing that it was a conspiracy provoked by governent agents.

Carlson, 53. was the most viewed host on Fox with only the occasional Rachel Maddow presenting a relevant rival voice from other networks, based on audience size. Media Matters wrote:

“Tucker Carlson’s departure is great news for America [and terrible news for Fox.]

The firing comes days after Fox Corp, reached a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems last week. Multiple outlets are reporting that the very damaging comments and actions by Carlson that showed up in the discovery process contributed to Fox Corp. severing ties.

In addition, fired Fox News producer Abby Grossberg has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the network and was fired shortly after. Grossberg was moved off of “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo” and put on “Tucker Carlson Tonight’.

Grossberg’s lawsuit claims that she was bullied and regularly subjected to antisemetic comments, while working as head of booking on Tucker Carlson’s show.

Abby Grossberg changed her deposition testimony in Dominion’s defamation case against Fox Corp, alleging that she had been coerced by the company’s lawyers to give misleading answers to key questions.

Among the answers she changed in her original desposition included being asked if she trusted the producers she worked with at Fox News.

Grossberg replaced her answer of “yes” with, “No, I don’t trust all the producers at Fox ... they’re activists, not journalists and impose their political agendas on the program”
