Tucker Carlson, the most successful cable news host in history, has been unceremoniously ousted from Fox News, with reports suggesting that Lachlan Murdoch and Suzanne Scott, the top executives at Fox, made the final call to part ways with Carlson. As conservatives, we can’t help but notice that this may be yet another attack on conservative voices by those who prefer to appease the liberal mob.
According to the New York Times, Carlson’s growing list of issues both on and off the air could not save him from the wrath of the Murdoch family. Tucker Carlson has been known to stand up against liberal narratives, and his documentary “Patriot Purge” drew ire from both sides of the aisle.
The documentary challenged the mainstream account of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, suggesting that it was a false flag operation to discredit former President Trump and his supporters. This bold move by Carlson undoubtedly ruffled some feathers, but it also highlights the lack of support for conservative voices in mainstream media.

It seems that even conservative heavyweights like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell turned their backs on Carlson, criticizing his portrayal of the Capitol rioters as “mostly peaceful.” With the pressure mounting, Fox News decided to distance itself from one of its most influential conservative voices.
In a hasty and unceremonious manner, Fox News announced that Carlson’s last show aired on Friday, April 21st, without giving him the chance to bid farewell to his viewers. The network plans to have a series of rotating hosts fill in the prime-time slot until a new host is named. This decision seems to be more about appeasing the liberal mob than honoring the contributions Carlson made to the network over the years.

Furthermore, Fox News also announced the departure of Dan Bongino, another staunch conservative voice. Bongino claimed that the decision to part ways was amicable and not the result of any acrimony, but one can’t help but wonder if the current climate of political correctness is silencing conservative voices.
In these trying times for conservatives, it is crucial that we stand united and support those who have the courage to challenge liberal narratives. The ousting of Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino from Fox News is a glaring reminder that our voices are under attack, and we must continue to fight for our right to be heard in the public discourse.
