I don’t think that Carlson was the ONLY one saying that there was NO election fraud, so I don’t think that was it. Fox lost over ½ their income for 2022 with just this 1 lawsuit & there’s another coming up right behind it that could be as easily successful. They have already fired several of their high dollar employees, so I wasn’t even shocked when I heard this…although I was briefly stunned when the breaking news popped up.
One thing that nobody is considering is that Carlson may have asked to be released because he’s been offered something better elsewhere & he negotiated a deal with Fox taking the blame so he could garner the sympathy of the devotees that he anticipates following him!!! Even bad news is beneficial when it’s all you’ve got.
