When Tucker Carlson and Fox News announced their separation in April 2023, both fans and critics were taken aback. After all, Tucker Carlson Tonight was a tremendously popular show on the network, with three million people on a regular basis.
Carlson’s retirement was announced without an official reason, but various claims emerged in the days that followed regarding what had truly happened behind the scenes, the Intelligencer reported.
Michael Wolff’s latest book, The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty, delves deeper into the network’s turmoil, including how then-Fox News chairman Rupert Murdoch decided to fire Carlson despite liking him personally.
The day after New York Magazine released an excerpt from Wolff’s book on Carlson’s departure from the network, Murdoch announced his resignation as chairman of Fox Corporation and News Corp. According to ABC News, the 92-year-old’s son, Lachlan Murdoch, will become the next chair of News Corp. and will continue to be the executive chair and CEO of Fox Corporation.
