Tucker Carlson was blindsided by his firing from Fox News and learned of it on Monday morning shortly before it was announced, sources tell DailyMail.com.
Even some of his closest staff were unaware that his show had been axed, reading about it for the first time on Twitter.
'No one I know was told about it beforehand. We were blindsided,’ one senior staffer who works closely with Tucker’s show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, told DailyMail.com.
Another insider revealed he still has no idea why he was let go so suddenly, and that many staffers are now questioning whether it's part of a wider plan by the Murdoch family to sell the media behemoth.
'Tucker still hasn’t been given any indication of why he was taken off the air. His producer Justin wells was fired too.
'We believe Rupert wants to sell the company and it’s harder to find an institutional buyer with Tucker as the main star.
'Tucker gone makes it more of an appealing media company to buy,' the source said.
The Los Angeles Times reports that it was a combination of Carlson's coverage of the January 6 riot and a recent lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, a former producer, who says she was subjected to sexism, bullying and anti-Semitism while working on the show.

Another blow to America as a free country.
It’s about censorship and trying to put in a place a one-party/one-media system.
Yeah really. Tucker was all I watched on TV News. I get most of my news on the internet. It certainly is not my reality. I do know people who still rely on TV news. There are many better ways to get more reliable news than TV. TV is really Indoctrination News.
Yep....makes as much sense as the Bud Light major gaffe.
Almost as if their goal is to DEVALUE these companies, for some strange reason.
🤔
Tucker gone makes it more of an appealing media company to buy for CNN or New York Times.
Xi makes call offers bid to add to his media stockpile.
Soros put on hold
Bullcrap. Carlson quit.
It appears like we won’t get to the bottom. The reason being that everyone will spin this to their own purpose.
I fired Fox News a long time ago.
And what makes you think Newsmax 9AndI really like Newsmax) will not be soon gong away?
All thanks to the little Silicon Chip.
I’m not sure it matters whether he was fired for doing his job or he quit because they wouldn’t let him do his job.
FNC has been absorbed.
Any true journalist with character and gumption would resign.
The final death rattle of the Murdock Family Dynasty

Coming on the heels of his interview with RFK Jr. is suspicious...his stance on J6 has been the same for months and they’d be idiots to fire their biggest moneymaker because some broad complained.
RFK is a real threat, and Tucker is the one outlet that would have given him as much airtime as he wanted. Now watch as the other media ghost him, saving them from having to throw a Kennedy under the bus.
Fox/Murdoch/Dominion News, the Bud Light Of cable news.
So, then, he went to work at Fox?
Hannity. It’s about the voting machines, imho.
I think about 90% of the CEO’s and corporate management are stuffed shirt sons and daughters of privilege or inheritors who are absolutely dumb as a bucket of hammers.
Good luck with selling it as CNN Lite!
So did I. I cancelled all cable TV subscription services.
Grossberg’s family has not been publicly identified, but she has said she is Jewish and experienced anti-Semitism at Fox. She has also said that she received death threats after her lawsuits became public.
Grossberg has offered to testify against Fox in the Dominion case, saying that she will only do so voluntarily and on behalf of Dominion. She has hired lawyers to represent her in her legal battles with Fox.
From other statements the person is an obvious misanthrope and more likely a lesbian hater.
