Vanity Fair runs an excerpt from Network of Lies by Brian Stelter:
“When Fox Information Media CEO Suzanne Scott known as Tucker Carlson round 11:15 a.m. on Monday, April 24, and stated, “We’re taking you off the air,” she didn’t give him a motive. To Carlson, cancellation was unthinkable. He was the highest-rated host throughout all of cable information—and he was all of a sudden sentenced to execution. It was like anyone canceling Taylor Swift mid-tour or eradicating Stranger Issues from Netflix earlier than anybody might stream the ending. It made no sense.”
“Carlson wasn’t given a path to log out and faux that it was on his phrases, however Scott did supply him one factor—the prospect to incorporate his personal remark within the press launch. For a second, he considered saying sure; perhaps he did need the breakup to sound mutually useful. However he shortly snapped out of that. He was being dumped, and he wished everybody else to comprehend it too. He tapped out a farewell e-mail to his workers, generally known as the Tuckertroop, earlier than his Fox e-mail account was disabled.”
