NEW YORK CITY, New York— Controversial Fox News host Tucker Carlson will no longer work for the conservative network, according to a statement released today. Fox News expressed gratitude for Carlson’s contributions, stating, “We thank him for his services to the network.”
The announcement comes in the wake of a massive closed-door $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over the network’s propagation of falsehoods claiming that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen. This unfounded assertion eventually contributed to the large-scale insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
No further details about Carlson’s departure have been released at this time, and it remains unclear whether his exit is directly tied to the Dominion Voting Systems settlement or other factors.
