The Rise and Fall of Tucker Carlson's Fox Career.

Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News due to his increasingly far-right commentary and behind-the-scenes attitude, which had caused tension and complaints within the network. The decision to fire Carlson was made by the Murdochs, who determined that he was more trouble than he was worth. The timing of the move was simple: The Murdochs did not want to make a big decision on such a pivotal figure until after the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit was resolved. Carlson's private communications, released during the discovery process of the lawsuit, were key to his departure. Carlson's firing leaves a hole in Fox News' lineup and raises questions about the network's financial future.
