Tucker Carlson posted a two-minute video on Twitter discussing a lack of honest political discussions in the media, but did not explain why he lost his job at Fox News just two days prior..The video was posted on Wednesday night at approximately 8 p.m. EST, around the same time his Fox News show usually started..Carlson said some individuals are nice and some are hilarious, but you only notice “when you step away from the noise for a few days.”.“The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are,” said Carlson..“They're completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won't even remember we heard them. Trust me, as somebody who participated.”.Fox News fired its most-watched news personality on Monday without providing any explanation..This happened less than a week after Fox settled a lawsuit about spreading misinformation about the 2020 US presidential election..The reason behind the unexpected termination of Carlson by Fox’s leadership, Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan, remains unknown..On Wednesday, some media reports suggested the reason could be related to information discovered during the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit that was redacted in court documents..The New York Times said that private messages sent by Carlson with “highly offensive and crude remarks” were a “catalyst” in Fox's decision to “part ways.”.Two media outlets, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, said one redacted message included a derogatory term aimed at a “senior” Fox executive. Neither outlet cited their sources or the individuals providing information..During his Twitter message, Carlson wore a suit and tie..Although he did not mention Fox, it was similar to the speeches he used to give on the network for the past six years..In his speech, he spoke about “the people in charge” who are causing harm to the country..He also mentioned the media and political parties do not allow debates on important topics such as war, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, and corporate power..“Where can you still find Americans saying true things?” said Carlson..“There aren't many places left, but there are some, and that's enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon.”
