Prayer time, a lawsuit or the C-word? Tucker Carlson’s exit remains a mystery

Different reports fly around while Fox News declines to comment on the cancellation of top TV host’s show

The exact reason behind the rightwing TV host Tucker Carlson’s abrupt firing from Fox News remains unclear, days after the star’s show was suddenly cancelled.

The New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Carlson was fired after executives discovered vulgar text messages, including one in which he called a top executive the C-word. There were also concerns among Fox management that Carlson was acting as if he was above the network, the Journal reported.
