BREAKING: Tucker Carlson's firing may now be known

Although the precise reason Tucker Carlson was fired from his highly successful cable show on the Fox News Network has not been officially confirmed, it may now be known. The "decider" was apparently Rupert Murdoch. 

Sources have told various outlets that there were several factors involved with Fox's decision. The Los Angeles Times was told that Murdoch was worried about Carlson's coverage of the January 6, 2021 attack on Capitol Hill whereby Carlson downplayed the scene as "mostly peaceful chaos" and said the attack was provoked by government agents.

Carlson was criticized by many people for his opinions, including some Republican senators. “The American people saw what happened on Jan. 6,” Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) explained to reporters. “They’ve seen the people that got injured, they saw the damage to the building. You can’t hide the truth by selectively picking a few minutes out of tapes and saying this is what went on. It’s so absurd. It’s nonsense.”

Another decision to fire Carlson was likely inspired by accusations his ex-producer Abby Grossberg made according to the L.A. Times. She had been moved from Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo to Tucker Carlson Tonight where she claimed she was bullied and a target of anti-Semitic rhetoric.

Grossberg filed a lawsuit against Fox last month, accusing Fox lawyers of coercing her into giving misleading testimony in the legal battle with Dominion Voting Systems, the New York Times wrote.

Axios also cited Grossberg as a factor in Carlson’s exit. The news outlet pointed to Carlson’s attempt to get Fox’s White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, the Fox White House correspondent, fired for fact-checking a tweet from former president Donald Trump.

According to a representative from Dominion Voting Systems, which settled with the outlet for $787.5 million, Carlson's firing was not related to the lawsuit, which accused Fox of defamation for allowing hosts and guests to make false claims about the company regarding election-fraud.

The Dominion discovery process revealed negative comments Carlson made about the company and others, including Trump, who the anchor said he hates passionately.

“Do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we’ve lost with our audience?,” Carlson wrote a day after Fox called the election for Joe Biden, the Washington Post reported. Carlson expressed the same sentiment in another message, using an expletive: “Those f**kers are destroying our credibility,” he wrote.

More information implicating Carlson and legally damaging for Fox News could be out there as the company faces the possibility of additional defamation suits.

Soros-linked election software company lies about Dominion ties

Foreign-owned Smartmatic, a manufacturer of electronic voting systems with ties to billionaire socialist George Soros, has lied about its connection to Dominion Voting Systems.

According to a Sunday report, Smartmatic licensed voting technology from the Dominion. 

Smartmatic previously owned Sequoia Voting Systems, but divested from its U.S. holdings following a 2007 court ruling with Dominion purchasing the company in 2010.

Although Smartmatic denies any ongoing ties with Dominion, a resurfaced 2015 interview with chairman Mark M. Brown shows this was a lie as Smartmatic continued to license Dominion technology. Brown has sat on the boards of several Soros’ organizations.

Another lie put forth by the left says that the technology cannot be tampered with--if that doesn't get you laughing, you have no sense of humor.

“The fact is, yes, a part of our technology is licensed from Dominion, but you tell me a large technology company which isn’t using in part licenses from other companies,”stated the chairman. “And we have a license for the international use of that particular piece of the technology that we employ.”

It’s unclear whether Smartmatic currently maintains any financial interests in Sequoia’s U.S. holdings.

Whether any of the efforts to prove either or both companies interfered in the 2020 presidential election seems to be almost irrelevant. The key word to remember, however, is "almost." 

We shall wait and see but don't get your hopes too high.
