For the Murdochs, Tucker Carlson had become more trouble than he was worth

 Fox News is a Right Wing conspiracy outlet. They have cultivated and groomed a loyal audience using slogans like Fair and Balanced and We Report You Decide as part of a very clever campaign to somehow make white supremacy paranoia, The Great Replacement Theory, motivate angry white men to watch, to identify and to vote against anything or anyone who threatens their sense of pious entitlement. Murdoch has been extremely skilled in developing this counter culture into mainstream culture. But…. But I don’t believe he wants to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. I don’t think he really wants to destroy democracy or the ‘liberal’ media because he knows that the money is in the David and Goliath struggle. Tucker had believed himself to be Goliath and Murdoch said not in My House. Fox has cultivated an appetite for hate and lies but Murdoch set some limits. Now we’ll see if these fear mongers thrive on their own.
