Between the $787 million settlement in Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit hinging on the content material of his and different colleague’s embarrassing textual content messages, the approaching $2 billion civil swimsuit being pursued by Smartmatic, and the civil swimsuit filed by a former Fox News producer that particularly names Carlson, chairman Rupert Murdoch had sufficient of Carlson, and unexpectedly canned him on April 24.
Carlson’s textual content messages which had been made public uncovered him as a charlatan who’ll take any disingenuous place that might advance his profession. As against being a severe member of an adversarial press, Carlson was publicly a Trump lickspittle whereas privately texting colleagues, “I hate him passionately,” and that “We are very very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights, I truly can’t wait,” solely to do an entire 180 on air. Carlson was considered one of many Fox News entertainers posing as journalists who privately espoused ideas that ran counter to their public positions.
The ultimate straw could have been texts from Carlson that described a Fox News exec as the opposite C-word. Carlson’s popularity nonetheless hasn’t recovered from Jon Stewart bodying him for pretending to be CNN Crossfire’s Stephen A. Smith practically twenty years in the past. Now, Carlson will likely be relegated to the graveyard of former Fox News hosts Bill O’Reilly, and Glenn Beck. Like most darkish spirits, Carlson will rise once more on OAN, Blaze, or whichever silly outlet emerges as the tv model of Truth Social.
