Tucker Carlson's Career Decline Examined After Fox Firing Amid Dominion Settlement; Moves to Twitter Platform
Fired from Fox amid an expensive settlement with Dominion, Carlson moves his show to Twitter, which critics view as a significant fall from grace; Murdoch son said to have made decision to fire high-profile host.
- Tucker Carlson's abrupt dismissal from Fox News has reportedly cost the network $787.5 million due to a defamation lawsuit settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.
- Following the expensive fallout at Fox News, Carlson has moved his show to Twitter, a move criticised by viewers as a sign of his waning influence.
- Fox News' refusal to stand by Carlson during the Dominion settlement fiasco shows that all hosts, even high-profile ones, are replaceable, contradicting a prevalent belief among television personalities.
- Carlson's downfall is attributed to his inflated sense of invulnerability, according to 'The View' co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin.
- His downhill career trajectory, marked by being fired by top three cable networks—CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News—has led critics to compare him to fellow ex-Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, who similarly transitioned to podcasts after his departure.
