Tucker Carlson, the top-rated host at Fox News, was ousted on Monday from the network that turned him into one of the most influential voices in America. The abrupt departure of the controversial prime time figure comes a week after Fox News reached a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over the network's promotion

Likely related to the Dominion settlement. Will he pop up at OAN or Newsmax, spewing the same material but with less editorial controls? How much of his audience would follow him?

    Saying an election was rigged is not the same thing as defamation though. That’s not why Fox was sued.

    Edit: Plus every election is rigged

      Thank you. All of this outrage over trump crying that the election was rigged was just more psyop to make anyone thats ever questioned the results of any election in the USA sound like a crazy trumpet.

      I love how there has barely been any discussion about bush v gore and all the voter suppression going on in Florida and other states long before the 'hanging chad nonsense.
