So Tucker Carlson, he gave an interview for this new book that's about to come out

It's called The Rise and Fall of Fox News and the Murdoch Empire

Now Carlson in the book says that he believes fully that he was fired because of the Dominion lawsuit

Carlson believes that the Murdoch family met with the people from Dominion and negotiated

a settlement because the Murdochs were afraid of the judgment against them actually going

over $1 billion and it was closer to $800 million, give or take a few tens of millions

which when you're dealing with that kind of money, you can give or take a few of those

So Carlson said that he believes a meeting was had beforehand where they agreed as part

of the settlement to fire Carlson because that would cause more damages to Fox News

considering he was the highest rated cable host on television amassing over 3 million

views per night. Now legally, I have to tell you that both Fox News and Dominion have repeatedly denied

this allegation. They say there is no truth to this rumor. Fox has denied it

Dominion has denied it emphatically. That being said, that's not ringing true in the ears of Tucker Carlson who still believes

that that was the reason he was fired. Now the book goes on to claim that Rupert Murdoch actually liked Carlson a lot and had

dinner with him not long before the firing and it reinforced how much Rupert actually

liked Carlson. And they said to the contrast, he does not like Sean Hannity

But there was something else in there. Something else that I thought was interesting

There was another theory and the other theory suggested Rupert Murdoch has long not been

a fan of people talking about their spirituality, talking about their religion, talking about

God, talking about Jesus, talking about the Holy Spirit, talking about their Christianity

in particular, but any religion. And that Carlson just days before was at a fundraiser where he did talk about his Christianity

and this apparently rankled the feathers of Rupert Murdoch. And they said that that actually led to him firing Carlson

That's hard to believe because Fox News hosts tend to be Christian and they tend to talk

about it. So that one is hard for me to believe. The Dominion lawsuit, all I can say is all the parties deny it

But when you have the top rated host on cable news fired, no reason is ever given, he's

still a ratings juggernaut, there has to be an answer that we don't know about

There has to be an explanation. Was it a cost saving move because of the Dominion lawsuit

Well, if that's the case, I think Sean Hannity is the highest paid host there and he wasn't fired

So it's hard to imagine what actually caused it if it wasn't the Dominion lawsuit

I want to know what you guys think in the comments. So please let me know. Why do you think Carlson was fired

Do you still watch Fox News after his firing? I want to know both of those things
