    Tucker Carlson and Fox News part ways

    Tucker Carlson has parted ways with Fox News, the network said on Monday.

    “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the network said in a statement.

    Carlson’s last show was Friday, the network said.

    Carlson was Fox’s top-rated prime time host, netting an average of more than 3 million viewers per night, the most of any pundit on cable.

          I think all that went along with the ploy of knowing lying needs to go.   People trusted these hosts.

      As the gun people and politicians say after a mass shooting, our thoughts and prayers are with you Tucker. And what I say, don't let the door hit you in the butt.

    I wonder why. FOX viewership has not declined since the settlement, which is the most disconcerting aspect of this entire series of events. Do you think FOX is trying to go on the offense in light of its coming lawsuits?

      Yup. He never recovered after the misogynistic comments.

    Carlson will pop up again somewhere like a bad penny. Lemmon is probably done. People flock to lies they want to believe - not to jerks who treat women badly.

    Wait - in this case those people might flock to both types.

    So, it seems like Dominion was the last straw.

    Tucker is also the focus of a lawsuit filed last month by his former senior booking producer, Abby Grossberg.

    In a lawsuit filed in the Southern District of New York, Grossberg accused Carlson and Fox of sexism and harassment, alleging that his show's workplace was replete with examples of misogyny. Her lawsuit claims, among other things, that mocked-up photographic images depicted then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "in a bathing suit revealing her cleavage" and that staffers were polled — on two separate occasions — on which of two female candidates for Michigan governor they would rather have sex with.

    "Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News is, in part, an admission of the systemic lying, bullying, and conspiracy-mongering claimed by our client," said Tanvir Rahman, one of Grossberg's lawyers, in a statement Monday afternoon. "Mr. Carlson and his subordinates remain individual defendants in the S.D.N.Y. case and we look forward to taking their depositions under oath in the very near term."

    Fox also booted the senior executive producer of Carlson's show, Justin Wells, who also is named as a defendant in that lawsuit.

    This is a step towards accountability for the election lies and baseless conspiracy theories spread by Fox News, something I witnessed firsthand," said Grossberg in the statement about Carlson's ouster. "This is some justice for the American people and for Fox News viewers who've been manipulated and lied to for years, all in an attempt to boost the channel's ratings and revenue."
