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.
