“It seems the most plausible [theory surrounding Fox News’ ousting of Tucker Carlson] is that Rupert Murdoch just decided to do this himself. Probably, the most realistic account that I’ve heard is the story in Vanity Fair, that he did it because he didn’t like Tucker Carlson talking about American politics in spiritual terms, in terms of good and evil,” said Federalist Senior Editor John Daniel Davidson on Newsmax. “I think Rupert Murdoch likes the ‘red team, blue team’ sports frame of talking about American politics. It keeps his audience coming back. It keeps the stakes low. Tucker Carlson took things a little too seriously … for the likes of Rupert Murdoch.”
