24 April

Many political conservatives were pleased with the arrival of Fox News as it appeared to offer something other than the typical mainstream leftist standard fare. The network shot to the top of cable news, ahead of such unremarkable competition such as ‘Fake News CNN’ and what is commonly known as ‘MSDNC’ where the ‘D’ stood for ‘Democrat’. In 2016, Tucker Carlson began his show on Fox which became the highest rating cable news show ever. But, soon after, viewers began to notice a change. The once reliably conservative Fox News was starting to show signs of moderating its content, particularly on some subjects such as coverage of the Middle East and Islam, President Trump and a myriad of coronavirus stories.
For several years, Tucker Carlson maintained his top rated evening news commentary program. As we examine the topic, it is clear that Mr Carlson was able to remain on the network simply because he was the top draw and therefore profitable and good for ratings. Now, however, the globalists have stepped in and Tucker Carlson is gone. His show on Friday, 21 April was his last, even though no one knew it. Over the weekend he was fired and was not even given the opportunity to have any sort of final goodbye from the network that he helped build. Fox News issued the utterly vacuous statement ‘FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor’. What…. balderdash.
So why would Fox fire Tucker Carlson? The answer is simply and that is he challenged the mainstream narrative both of news media as well as certain government enforced policies. While this is not an exhaustive list, Mr Carlson’s opposition to the US policies in Ukraine, including various Biden family members connections to the nation of Ukraine appear to have upset NewsCorp President Rupert Murdoch who is a core globalist. He also criticized the FBI, CIA, DHS and DOJ and while AMP is not endorsing every aspect of his views, when it came to calling out the government for its own criminality or ineptitude, Mr Carlson was often the best voice on major media. Other contentious issues included advocating for a pardon for Julian Assange as well opposing certain military industrial complex aspects of US foreign policy.
While this does not constitute proof, Tucker Carlson was fired on a weekend with no warning. That in itself is not of staggering proportions but Fox has announced they do not have a replacement program for his coveted evening time slot. When a major network cuts ties this fast with no backup plan and without a clear precipitating event, the whole thing begins to take on the air of ‘orders from the top’ where the elites simply gave the order that is was time to go. Mr Carlson’s web page suggests he will be back soon, and his audience will follow.
