“Fox News said Monday that it was parting ways with Tucker Carlson, its most popular prime time host who was also the source of repeated controversies and headaches for the network because of his statements on everything from race relations to LBGTQ rights,” the New York Times reports.
“The network made the announcement less than a week after it agreed to pay $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit in which Mr. Carlson’s show, one of the highest rated on Fox, figured prominently for its role in spreading misinformation after the 2020 election.”
Washington Post: “His last show was this past Friday, April 21. The network said that the 8 p.m. time slot, which Carlson has held since April 2017, will be filled on an interim basis by ‘rotating Fox News personalities until a new host is named.’”
