Two Months Later It’s ClearTucker Carlson Needed Fox News More Than Fox Needed Tucker
"On Apr. 24, Fox News announced that its 8 p.m. host Tucker Carlson was leaving the network. The ouster of the most-watched host on cable news sent shockwaves through the political-media ecosystem. It sparked a reporting frenzy to get to the bottom of what actually happened, why he was fired, and what would come next — both for the top-rated cable news network and the most influential hard-right pundit in the country.
Now the dust has settled, it’s clear that Fox News was far more important to Carlson than he was to Fox News — a result that might surprise the Tucker Stans, who insisted his departure was Fox’s death knell.
It hasn’t all been rosy. Fox News took a significant hit in ratings in the weeks that followed Carlson’s ouster. In some metrics, the replacement hosts tapped to fill in the slot drew just half of Carlson’s audience, which remains enraged by his firing."
