One hypothesis for why Fox News fired popular television commentator Tucker Carlson is because he had been badmouthing company officials. But are top executives for a major U.S. corporation so sensitive to personal criticism that they’re willing to ditch their most popular commentator for saying some bad things about them? That’s hard to believe.
Another hypothesis is that Carlson was also saying bad things about Fox News colleagues. That too doesn’t make much sense to me. Doesn’t that sort of thing go on in most large companies? It’s called human nature. Again, it doesn’t seem serious enough to can the network’s most popular commentator.
Let me weigh in on another possibility — that the Pentagon and the CIA may have been the ones who put the quietus on Tucker and possibly signaled to Fox executives that he had to go.
Last December, Carlson broadcast a program on the assassination of President Kennedy in which he accused the CIA of having participated in the assassination. In doing so, Carlson violated a taboo that has existed within the mainstream media since November 22, 1963, the day that Kennedy was assassinated.

After Twitter files, yes.
So what is Fox’s viewership down to after Tucker’s “departure?”
Fox News Loses Half of Tucker Carlson’s Viewers
No, I think it’s an ego thing. Tucker was getting too big, as was Bill O’REilly.
Tucker, as I’ve learned, said very little to other broadcasters, certainly no more or less than any others, and not of his boss.
He had no affairs.
This Jewish lady who is alleging a toxic workplace and antisemitic remarks etc. NEVER actually met Tucker.
I’m wondering if she was encouraged to go forth with her allegations.
AS an employee at Fox, he would have civil liability insurance, so Tucker personally, would not be sued.
Regarding pressure being put on FOX by our intelligence? Maybe? But, where does it stop, just about everyone at Fox and elsewhere, bashes our gov’t institutions especially nowl
Ya, I agree. Honestly this is a case that does not make sense without this piece. Why would Fox stand up and suddenly FIRE their most popular and profitable host. Right in the middle of trying to launch that Fox internet thing. I was even thinking about joining it. Tucker had some great content in there. It doesn’t make sense for merdoch no matter his politics to take a hit like that. Someone got to him... someone got to them. And the way they treated President Trump when he was in office means that they are not accountable. That’s dangerous third reicht stuff there. There’s literally a rogue federal government agency out there destroying people.
That’s not a fantasy anymore. It’s as real as it gets.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
The CIA does not support America. Maybe the European bankers and their minions in the U.S.
Nah it’s a bunch of BS. Everyone has known for decades that the CIA was involved. Go read the Church committee report
NO
‘Did the CIA and the Pentagon (actually the entire deepState) Put the Quietus on Tucker Carlson?
Does a bear Schiff in the woods?
Is the pope Cath ,err,..
Are Osama,Hilary,Bidementia, et al. antiAmerican Marxists ?
out with God
in with marxism
communism / evolution - diversity
CNN is run by the CIA so to think Fox gets no pressure from the MIC and intelligence is crazy.....
It’s great to know that you’ve contacted the proper authorities and been given the definitive truth.
Care to share the details with the rest of us plebes?
They have done the same thing to Trump.
(Last December, Carlson broadcast a program on the assassination of President Kennedy in which he accused the CIA of having participated in the assassination.)
Uh oh
Still got the shovel! /movie 🍿🍿🎥🎥
It was Russia Russia Russia.
Add the Dominion settlement and it makes even more sense.
YES
On the face of things I have little doubt the CIA exercised pressure to knock Tucker off his show. There are players with government who have undue influence over public affairs. I think we call them the “deep state.”
