Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.
"FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways," the Fox News statement on Carlson reads.
Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly also reported that detail on her show on Thursday, saying that Carlson and Fox News are negotiating his exit and that while his show is canceled and he has been kicked out of his company email address, his contract is still in effect, which keeps him from doing something else.
"Post-2020, when Fox was really hurting, there was sort of a shift to the right by Fox to cover their flank," one former Fox News staffer told Breitbart News.
When Fox News settled for nearly $800 million with the company, the staggering sum of the settlement-and the amount of other suits barreling down the pike against Fox News from Smartmatic and from former producer Abby Grossberg-the Murdochs were rattled, per these network sources.
While Bongino had his battles with Fox News management over a number of things-them editing his interview with Trump was a sore spot-he got along well with everyone there and just was not sure he wanted to take Fox News up on the offer to renew the show due to the scheduling problems.
One network source told Breitbart News that the Bongino and Carlson ousters "are so obviously tied together that anyone can see it clearly.
