NBCNov 27, 2022
The Facts
Fox News said Monday that talk show host Tucker Carlson and the network have "agreed to part ways," adding that last Friday was the last showing of Carlson's show and thanked "him for his service to the network."
Carlson, who worked for the network for over 10 years, signed off his show on Friday stating he would return Monday. Fox's statement said that Carlson would not return on Monday, meaning he was unable to bid his viewers farewell.
The Spin
Left narrative
It's about time that Fox News took accountability for and applied some consequences to Tucker Carlson's toxic and blatant spread of lies and defamation that did nothing short of undermining American democracy. Carlson's removal is a step towards restoring democracy and the civility of the American people.
Right narrative
The lengths to which Democrats and the "woke" crowd will celebrate Carlson's departure show that they believed he was a threat to the establishment's agenda. His departure also demonstrates that while Fox News claims to expose Democrats and the government, it has defected and declared war on Trump and his supporters.
Narrative C
The simultaneous departures of Carlson from Fox and Lemon CNN mark a seismic shift in the media landscape. Ironically, this upheaval comes just days before the 2023 White House Correspondents Dinner. It's clear that the cable news industry is in the midst of a broadcast bloodbath and the fall-out will shed light on how the cable news market is rapidly evolving.
