Fox News made a huge mistake by throwing Tucker Carlson under the bus.

The ratings at the network are down significantly in his time slot.

Now Fox made an announcement that proved the network is in disarray.

Fox News settled its lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million regarding claims of voter fraud, and now it seems as though the bill is coming due.

According to a report from Rolling Stone, Fox News scuttled its entire seven-person investigative reporting team.

Three employees were allegedly let go, and the remaining four were “reassigned,” a source told Rolling Stone.

The Fox News source was angered that journalists were let go while upper management did not suffer.

The source told Rolling Stone, “The rank and file journalists are getting let go meanwhile upper management are sitting pretty while they are the execs responsible for the Dominion debacle…We are the sacrificial lambs…The outrage is that Suzanne Scott and Maria Bartiromo keep their jobs…Meanwhile the journalists get let go. We are in shock.”

Ironically, Tucker Carlson was blamed for the Dominion voter fraud claims, but he forcefully challenged the narrative put forth by Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani.

A former on-air talent told Rolling Stone, “I think producers, management, et cetera [are being laid-off]…They are trying to get money off the books before June 30. They have to save money because of the [Dominion] lawsuit.”

Many have speculated that Carlson was let go per the Dominion settlement, but both Fox News and Dominion deny the claim.

A spokesperson for Dominion said, “As the Fox principals who negotiated the settlement well know, Dominion made no demands about Tucker Carlson’s employment orally or in writing…Any claims otherwise are categorically false and a thinly veiled effort to further damage Dominion. Fox should take every effort to stop these lies immediately.”

The timing is certainly peculiar, however.

Carlson was yanked from the air shortly after the settlement was announced despite having the top-rated show on cable news.

A separate Fox News source told Breitbart News that the layoffs had “nothing to do with Dominion” and that more layoffs are likely.

Media companies across the board have been cutting back on staff, so the actions could be unrelated, but it’s hard to imagine that the biggest defamation settlement in media history had nothing to do with major cuts at the network.

The war between Tucker Carlson and Fox News is heating up.

The popular opinion host is out at the network despite having the highest-rated show on cable news.

And Carlson made a huge accusation against Fox News.

Tucker Carlson was yanked from the air despite having the most-watched cable news show.

On top of that, Fox News seemingly will not let Carlson out of his contract.

Carlson’s deal expires in January 2025, coincidentally after the conclusion of the 2024 election cycle.

But Carlson is not going to be muzzled for a full year and a half.

That’s why he announced he was taking his show to Twitter.

And Carlson seems to believe that Fox News is engaging in a smear campaign against him.

According to the Daily Caller, a news site co-founded by Carlson, someone close to Carlson was approached by Fox’s chief legal counsel who said that someone on the Fox board of trustees was the person behind the leaks aimed at embarrassing Carlson.

The Daily Caller reported that Chief Legal Counsel Viet Dinh told a Carlson associate that he believes that the network’s leaders suspected a member of the board of directors had been speaking to the press about Tucker without authorization.

Carlson’s attorney Bryan Freedman said, “It strains credulity that, immediately after agreeing to pay almost $780 million to settle serious allegations of misconduct that a member of Fox’s Board of Directors would be engaging in an attempted smear campaign by illegally leaking information about Tucker Carlson…However, we have to trust that it is true when the Chief Legal Officer informs Tucker that he believes it to be the case.”

Many speculated that the person behind the leaks was notorious Fox News PR boss Irena Briganti, but Dinh allegedly said she was “not authorized” to leak and that she would be “fired” if she were caught doing so.

Either way, it’s concerning if the head of PR or a member on the board is behind the transparent smear campaign against Carlson.

The two most likely board members to be behind the leaks were narrowed down to wealthy hedge fund manager Anne Dias and former House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Even though Ryan is establishment through and through and hates Carlson—the feeling is mutual—the Daily Caller claimed that Carlson’s team ruled him out.

That could leave Dias as the person behind the smears, but there has not been any concrete evidence thus far.

Fox News dug itself a hole when it fired top talent Tucker Carlson. 

Now the network’s competitors have picked his replacement. 

And they’re gunning for the most underwhelming announcement in the history of television.

Fox News has paid dearly for firing its single most popular host—and simultaneously ending the second most popular show on cable television. 

Immediately after Carlson’s departure from the network was announced, the company’s stock entered a free fall at one point registering a more than $1.9 billion loss. 

The company hasn’t revealed its motives behind suddenly ditching the outspoken conservative host in late April, but the move came almost immediately after Carlson gave a brutally raw and honest speech at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary celebration. 

Heritage Foundation president Dr. Kevin D. Roberts essentially predicted what would happen when he offered Carlson a job, should he ever need it, during the question and answer session immediately following the speech. 

While Fox News tried to play down the idea that they booted their most popular host out the door, it’s abundantly apparent there was no plan in place to replace Carlson’s wildly popular show. 

Now the rest of the press has come up with their preferred solution—and no amount of denials on the part of Fox News will shut down the rumors. 

Numerous outlets—from the Drudge Report to Variety—have published articles claiming Sean Hannity will take over Tucker Carlson’s coveted 8:00 p.m. prime time slot. 

Even Mediaite—which poses as a sort of media watchdog group—has piled on trying to will the story into being true. 

“The Drudge Report dropped a siren-blaring scoop on Wednesday announcing an imminent shake-up at Fox News, eventually reporting that Sean Hannity will take over at 8 p.m.,” Mediaite declared. 

Of course, this could be more wishful thinking than anything else on their part. 

Hannity—who already has the 9:00 p.m. slot and has been on television longer than Larry King—poses the least amount of danger to globalists. 

Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld seemingly pose more of a problem—and they’d probably like Laura Ingraham to be an afterthought. 

Meanwhile, Fox News executives seem to have entered a deep state of denial, pretending that gutting their prime-time lineup of its most important show is no big deal. 

“There’s no change to our programming strategy at Fox News,” Fox News CEO Lachlan Murdoch told investors last week. “It’s obviously a successful strategy.”

It certainly was successful before the company decided to fire their top host and send a boatload of their viewers in the most valuable advertising age bracket packing alongside him. 

Now they have an uphill battle ahead to recover from one of the oddest and financially surprising moves in the history of the television news industry.

And the globalists, running the rest of the corporate-controlled media, desperately hope they’ll come the rest of the way to their side.
