Показать описание

One of the highest rated US TV hosts, Tucker Carlson, is leaving Fox News, the US media giant has announced.

In a statement, Fox said that the network and Mr Carlson have agreed to "part ways".

His last TV programme was Friday 21 April, the statement added. His primetime slot will now be hosted by a series of interim hosts until a permanent replacement is found.

The brief, two paragraph statement gave no reason for the decision.

The announcement comes just days after Fox News settled a defamation lawsuit from the voting machine company Dominion over its coverage of the 2020 presidential election.

Tucker didn't "leave." He was FIRED.

This will see the rapid decline in Fox News. Tucker was the best presenter on the channel and was fired as he spoke against the establishment.

"Fox is essentially breaking up with one of its biggest stars".

Fox is essentially BREAKING APART.

The BBC presenter is trying hard not to appear gleeful, but you can just about sense his excitement, all in the best possible taste, as the late Kenny Everett used to say!
