Fox News unexpectedly announced late Monday morning it “agreed to part ways” with Carlson—the unabashedly conservative host who anchored the second highest-rated cable news program last year.
Carlson was expected to play a major role in a defamation trial in a case Dominion Voting Systems filed against the network—in part over allegations Carlson recklessly promoted false conspiracy theories on his show about the company being involved in election fraud.
The ouster of Fox's top opinion host comes less than a week after Fox settled an epic defamation lawsuit by an election technology company for more than $787 million.
Dominion Voting Systems sued over segments promoting bogus claims that election fraud cheated then-President Donald Trump of victory in 2020.
