Summary
Right-wing host Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News immediately, days after the network settled Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit for $787.5 million. Carlson's program, "Tucker Carlson Tonight," has long been one of Fox's top-rated programs. Carlson was among the Fox hosts and executives who were questioned as part of the Dominion lawsuit. Several of his emails and texts were part of evidence released before the settlement. Carlson's departure came on the same day that CNN anchor Don Lemon said he'd been fired from the network, and a day after NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell was dismissed for having an inappropriate relationship with an employee.
