In a surprise announcement, Fox News said Monday it was cutting ties with its top-rated host Tucker Carlson, effective immediately.

If you missed it yesterday, I wrote about Ukraine’s potential directions in its coming big counterattack. While heading south to break the land bridge makes the most strategic sense, it’s also what Russia is most expecting. So I had a dream scenario that looked like this:

The MAGA world was rocked early Monday with the news that its loudest mouthpiece was being silenced. Tucker Carlson and Fox News “parted ways,” the network announced, in what was reportedly not at all a voluntary move on one side. “He was totally surprised,” an insider at Fox told Mediaite. “It was a firing.” But why?

He set an ambitious deadline for getting it done by the end of this week, which seems unlikely since the House doesn’t get to legislative work until Wednesday.
The long and winding racist, anti-immigrant, homophobic, invective-strewn road of Tucker Carlson at Fox news has come to an unceremonious end. It is a perfect finish to the rage-filled tenure of a ginormous windbag who has done so much to harm the public discourse since his show premiered in 2016.
Tucker Carlson and Fox parting ways set the news ablaze, and the reactions came in sizzling and fast.
