Here's the segment that riled Rupert Murdoch & Paul Ryan.

In fairness, if that was the reason then a few Murdoch channels would have little or no output if their presenters had to demonstrate they were none of the above.

The timing of his departure, just after Fox spunked away $787m dollars having recognised they had no legitimate defence against an election software company that successfully sued Fox for impugning its reputation.

In doing so it had to admit the bullshit that Carlson was spewing out, and allowing others to spew out, on a daily basis during that period was knowingly false because internal e-mails (think #tuckerfiles) showed they were doing so even if they didn't believe any of it!

Obviously the Carlson mail telling everyone internally that he thought Trump was as big a twat as any other sensible person thought was the icing on the cake!

Add on further hundred million dollar law suits where Carlson is likely to be the main guy in the dock if it goes that far and there is the dream on the trifle.

The fact that Murdoch likes to support winners, particularly from the right and he sees Trump as the biggest loser in Loserville then resetting Fox and cutting Carlson adrift makes perfect sense.

Lardy's favourite Russia collusion host still has a job, so maybe somebody should seek compensation from her network, now that the precedent has been set

IMO, majority of them are just gate keepers

Oh he will be back, and he will probably welcome not having to think about share holders as much.

As an aside, I love the lack of self awareness of the guardian when talking about the state of discourse in the US and just casually print this:

"Carlson was one of the network’s biggest stars, and gained a large following while spouting xenophobic and racist rhetoric on his show."

I don’t advocate most of what he says but does he have a point here ?

Tucker won't go hungry. There's a plethora of right wing nutjobs in the USA who will cream over his rantings every day of the week.

Re: Tucker Carlson! Sacked

Trump needs a running mate. Would his team be better off with Carlson inside and pissing out than outside and pissing in?

I think he does, yes. Although he bears responsibility for it too, as do Fox which are just as bad as CNN.

I agree with his broadly libertarian and (genuinely) liberal words here though.

My best mate sent me the Carlson link. He’s an Arab Socialist, real socialism, not this new Labour nonsense. The opposite of right wing. Get out of your factions and look at the facts.
