NEW YORK -- NEW YORK (AP) — Tucker Carlson emerged Wednesday, two days after Fox News fired him, with a two-minute, campaign-style monologue that didn't address why he suddenly became unemployed. Carlson said one of the things he noticed, “when you step away from the noise for a few days,” is how nice some people are, and how hilarious some are. The mystery about why Fox Corp. leadership, Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan, decided to suddenly dismiss Carlson lingered. Private messages sent by Carlson with “highly offensive and crude remarks” were a “catalyst” in Fox's decision to cut him loose, according to The New York Times. Both The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post said one redacted message included a slur against a senior Fox executive.
