Tucker Carlson apparently has no idea why he was fired, so I won’t pretend to know more than he does. I would like to think it was because he did his best to persuade gullible people to burn liberal democracy down, but history tells me that isn’t the reason. He did something to piss off Rupert Murdoch, he cost Murdoch money, or both.
Far more than Trump, who is principally guided by his own unique personal grievances, Carlson is a perfect reactionary. The e-mails uncovered by Dominion prove that he’s a greedy cynic, too. I’m sure he will land on his feet, but he won’t be as prominent as he was at Fox, and I certainly won’t miss him.
