Fox News has been silently shifting liberal. It is now run by Rupert’s Clinton supporting son.
It is what is known as “controlled opposition” for the Dems.
Tucker was one of the few holdouts from the conservative era, so despite the fact he was the highest rated show on cable period, he had to go. The settlement might be used as an excuse but they have been trying to find a way to shitcan him for a while.
If they let it be known why they fired him, the entire network would lose viewers. The advertising sales will not suffer, Fox News makes about 75% of its marketing revenue from pharma. They hate Tucker.
