And it was clearly Fox News\u2019s decision because they\u2019re not letting him say goodbye,\u201d Kelly, who now hosts a popular podcast catering to a conservative audience and has been previously critical of Fox, said of Carlson\u2019s ousting. \u201cThat\u2019s my supposition. That\u2019s not inside knowledge. \u2026 Talk about misjudging your audience yet again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carlson\u2019s split from Fox was a shock on Monday, though it was equally understandable given the context. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>As part of the defamation suit brought by Dominion against the news giant, a number of Carlson\u2019s private text messages deriding both former President Trump and Fox leadership around the time of the 2020 election were made public and led to a slew of embarrassing headlines.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In one message, Carlson said he hated Trump \u201cpassionately\u201d and suggested Fox reporters who were fact-checking Trump\u2019s false claims of voter fraud be fired, in fear of upsetting the network\u2019s audience.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal, which like Fox is owned by billionaire conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch, reported on Monday that Fox\u2019s leaders took issue with remarks Carlson made that were derogatory toward the network in those text messages, citing people familiar with the matter. \u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The content of much of the communications that had been redacted in the Dominion court documents became known internally to senior Fox management, the Journal reported.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rivals to Fox News seeking to get a bigger slice of its audience criticized its decision. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a while, Fox News has been moving to become establishment media, and Tucker Carlson\u2019s removal is a big milestone in that effort,\u201d said Christopher Ruddy, the CEO of the smaller conservative channel Newsmax. He argued the split would send more viewers to his network.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Other observers questioned whether the exit would hurt Fox that much, given its ability to replace talent. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fox has a relatively deep bench of what people at the network consider to be rising stars, including host Jesse Watters, who was last year given his own prime-time show, and comedian Greg Gutfeld, who has spearheaded Fox\u2019s efforts to beat out the other networks in the ultra-competitive late night television landscape.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But there will be questions about how seamlessly the network can replace Carlson. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis changes things permanently,\u201d Donald Trump Jr., the former president\u2019s eldest son, said on Monday of Carlson leaving Fox. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the few voices in the Republican party that would call out the nonsense \u2026 from GOP senators, governors and otherwise \u2026 an actual thought leader \u2026 the whole thing is actually mind-blowing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
