NEW YORK (AP) — Fox News on Monday ousted prime-time host Tucker Carlson, whose stew of grievances and political theories about Russia and the Jan. 6 insurrection had grown to define the network in recent years and influence GOP politics. Fox said that the network and Carlson had “agreed to part ways” but it offered no explanation for the stunning move, saying that the last broadcast of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” aired last Friday. The break comes amid a cascade of bad legal news for Fox and Carlson. Fox has called the lawsuit “baseless.”On his show, Carlson has also been outspoken in questioning the United States support of Ukraine, following its invasion by Russian forces. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” the press release from the network said.
