It will be interesting to see what shakes out. The election denying may change a bit but Fox will still be Fox and won't get me to watch it.

I don't care what people imagine he did; there's been no evidence that points to his involvement.

I think your assessment is way off

Multiple Democratic Congress people have death threats directly attributed to his rhetoric

McCarthy supplying Carlson the Jan 6th tapes is outrageous, and puts people’s lives at risk

Hannity, Ingraham, and Baritomo are all likely candidates....I think Fox is finally realizing that a culture of liars and propagandists might not be great for future earnings. Maybe there will be a new start-up called the Republican News Network that will hire Tucker and the rest to continue carrying the water for the Republican Party.

It's about money, as usual. For it to be both faux would have to be seen as having a conscience and i have not seen it.

Fox is still responsible for Carlson's on-air statements, and he's still subject to being called to testify. In fact, kicking him to the curb might increase the likelihood that he validates Fox's managerial culpability on the stand.

i believe faux already believes they will loose. It is just a matter of how much. With recent maneuvers they can indicate that they have already taken steps to self correct. Not a bad argument.

If only for his connection to Trump. The others? I’m betting we are going to see several “retirements” over the next few weeks.

Not only does she have a lawsuit that implicates Tucker, she also was involved in showing that Fox improperly failed to produce documents. The Special master handling the discovery violations in the Dominion lawsuit is still working on it. That part of the Dominion lawsuit is still ongoing. I wonder whether Tucker withheld the tapes and other things from the attorneys in the Dominion lawsuit.
Lots of blame to go around.

He hints that he may not sign up for any more. Negotiating ploy? Or reading the tea leaves?
