Fox News announced in a short statement on Monday morning, that the media outlet and its top talent and host Tucker Carlson have "parted ways." The development came as a shock to many on social media who wondered why the most-watched cable news network would fire its highest-rated popular talent.
Carlson who closed his show on Friday promising his viewers he'd be back as usual on Monday, was reportedly informed of his ouster 10 minutes before the network made it public.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the media outlet said in the statement. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor... Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”
Far-left media talking heads, activists and politicians were thrilled by the news of Carlson's ouster. They have been calling for the firing of the popular news host who they perceive as a threat to their degenerate woke agenda.
Critics on social media point out that by cheering his ouster, the popular host's haters are the real fascists, who aggressively push to crush freedom of speech and political debate.
Disgraced woke socialist congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) celebrated Carlson's firing.
“Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News -- couldn’t have happened to a better guy,” the congresswoman sarcastically said in a social media livestream... “I also kind of feel like I’m like waiting for the cutscene at the end of a Marvel movie after all the credits have rolled, and then you see like the villain’s like hand, re-emerge out to grip over like the end of a building or something. But de-platforming works, and it is important and there you go. Good things can happen.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s had falsely claimed in remarks over the weekend that Carlson was responsible for “incitement of violence” and that lawmakers needed to be open to “explore through law” ways to regulate news content on networks like Fox News.
