April 24 (Reuters) - Fox News Media and its top-rated host Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways, less than a week after the Fox Corp (FOXA.O) media company settled for $787.5 million a defamation lawsuit in which Carlson played a starring role. After the announcement of Carlson's departure from Fox News, a Trump spokesperson tweeted: "Fox News is controlled opposition." "I stand with Tucker Carlson!" Carlson joined Fox News as a contributor in 2009 and became a co-host of "Fox & Friends Weekend" in 2012. In 2021 Fox announced a multiyear deal with Carlson to provide content for its Fox Nation streaming service.
