It may not have been Tucker Carlson’s racist statements or his dissemination of election denialism that sealed his fate and led to his surprise firing from Fox News Monday.
The “leading theory” for why Rupert Murdoch and other Fox executives finally decided it was time to part ways with the provocative face of their network was his misogynistic behavior and offensive language , according to reports from New York magazine and the Daily Beast . While Fox News settled the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems for a record $787.5 million last week, the network is still mired in a suit brought by former producer Abby Grossberg, who alleges Carlson encouraged a toxic, sexist work environment.
