Tucker Carlos recently got let go by Fox News. It has been noted that the former Speaker and Trump-hater Paul Ryan pushed FOX News owners Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch to refrain from reporting on false allegations of election fraud following the 2020 election, and may have gotten Tucker fired.
It was back in February that the court documents were leaked out from the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against FOX News. Dominion Voting Systems sued FOX News for $1.6 billion in a defamation lawsuit in March 2021. In the court documents, FOX News discovered that Dominion’s own employees expressed serious concerns about the security of their voting machines.
FOX News later reportedly settled the lawsuit with Dominion for $787 million anyway. This was a stunning amount to turn over to the Dominion company considering the statements made by the top officials at the Dominion company.
The court documents also reveal the level of former Speaker Paul Ryan’s influence at FOX News. It is no secret that Paul Ryan is not a Trump supporter. Ryan is open about his disdain for Trump and his supporters.
As a board member, Paul Ryan urged the FOX News owners to “move on from Trump” in the months following the 2020 election. This was despite the fact FOX News knew at the time that the channel was losing its core audience by not reporting on the 2020 election fraud.
