  • They're burying sexist scandals. This is the main reason and it was uncovered during the Dominion discovery process but it has nothing to do with the lawsuit itself
  • His show wasn't profitable
  • He acted like he had authority at Fox that he didn't really have
  • They also finally acknowledged he was spouting racist shit
These reasons are straight from the horse's mouth and given the first and last points are pretty hard things to admit I'd say it seems pretty credible.

I'm willing to bet the redacted texts had something to do with rape.

That last point is absolutely not a reason

Blue Chip refused to advertise on Tucker and that's basically the equivalent of Amazon not selling your product.

note that this has nothing to do with integrity and it's all about avoiding lawsuits (ie money)

When even Fox News think the dude has gone too far...

Too bad Ben shapiro probably plan to make him a martyr and "resurect" him...

Not so sure. I don't think him and Shapiro get along.

Although "anything for a dollar" is a thing.

It's like 90% legal liability and 10% embarrassment. They were concerned not just for the lawsuits but that the things he said could hurt the company's business too. Whatever he said to that executive was so nasty they got it redacted before entering it into court.

You're not going to get a better source of why Tucker was fired than from the people who fired him and those guys are the ones that own WSJ.

This is further proof that public pressure on advertisers and loudly calling out fascism and bigotry CAN have a positive effect, even if it's delayed. If these people operate exclusively by capitalist logic and are driven by profit, we can make bigotry and fascism unprofitable poison.

If I were in their shoes and I was going to lie, I would choose better lies than "he was so sexist and racist it became a company liability"
