Fox News didn’t just blot out Tucker Carlson Tonight, it appears to be trying to blot out any influence Tucker Carlson can have on people, as much as possible, as long as possible. And past the 2024 election, if at all possible.

Fox News was the news on April 18 when it agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million rather than show in court that it was its free-speech, free-press constitutional right to broadcast interviews in the wake of the highly irregular 2020 election with people who said those irregularities stole the election from Donald Trump voters. A week later, people were still trying to figure that one when Fox announced that it was parting ways with Carlson. Fox executives reportedly told Tucker they were canceling Tucker Carlson Tonight, effective immediately, then told the world 10 minutes later.

Why did Fox News cancel the biggest show in American news? Millions of people, including large numbers of Democrats, tuned in every night to see what Carlson’s team had uncovered and what Carlson had to say about it. Bringing in such high numbers of viewers so consistently generated huge profits for Fox News. Losing him would be a major loss. And it was: After the news was announced, the value of Fox Corp. quickly fell by almost $1 billion.

Fox executives knew much of this, and they still shut down their own host, who happens to be the most popular cable news host in American history.

The host for the replacement show is failing miserably, with roughly half the audience. And as we mentioned last week, a short two-minute video Tucker posted on April 26 at 8 p.m. on Twitter has had far more views (now 23.5 million) than the 8 p.m. Fox News Tonight show (1.7 million).

A new Rasmussen Reports survey shows that more people are favorable toward Tucker Carlson than Fox News.

What is motivating Fox?

Fox News has said little about Carlson’s departure, and Carlson hasn’t said much either. But others are putting forward their theories. Some say that text messages uncovered during the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit were a primary reason. Others say it was Carlson’s coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill protests. A number of people believe it was a pro-prayer speech he gave at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary celebration just prior to his show’s cancelation. Some claim that allegations of harassment did Carlson in.

These are all possibilities, but what is interesting is that Fox News is still paying Carlson millions of dollars as an employee.

So Fox Corp. continues to lose millions, even billions, of dollars to achieve some other goal. What is that goal?

Fox certainly does not want Carlson to work for one of its competitors, so that is a reason. But if winning the competition for advertiser dollars was their goal, Fox News executives would have obviously just kept doing what they’ve been doing for seven years: air Tucker Carlson Tonight, dominate ratings, and make billions.

Fox is paying top dollar to keep Carlson quiet.

The 92-year-old media mogul who owns Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, is a Republican, but both of his sons are married to radical leftists. So Democrats have more leverage over Fox than most people think. Remember how Fox News called Arizona for Joe Biden on that highly irregular election night? Then the final official count showed Biden “winning” by 10,457 votes? That tells you just about everything you need to know about Fox’s political bias. It airs conservative commentary, but when it really came down to it, it did its bit to help install Joe Biden as the pretender to the throne of the United States.

The Murdochs do not want another Trump presidency. Carlson’s show, including numerous revelations of what is really happening in the United States government, was boosting public support for Donald Trump. So even if it costs hundreds of millions or billions, they are blocking Carlson in order to block the truth.

Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Paul Ryan and the Murdoch family disagree about a lot. But they have one thing in common: They hate Donald Trump and anyone who helps him. And since few people have helped Trump’s Make America Great Again movement like Carlson, Obama and his acolytes wanted Carlson silenced. That is why Carlson was fired. All the talks about harassment and interpersonal clashes between people at Fox News are a distraction. Carlson was fired because of his political message.

When you fire someone for offending colleagues, you tell them to clean out their desk and go. This is not what happened in Carlson’s case. He is still collecting a salary, and Fox lawyers are trying to find a way to keep him from joining another network (like Newsmax or the Blaze until after the 2024 presidential election).

The political establishment in Washington, D.C., is purging strong, conservative voices like Carlson and making Murdoch’s media conglomerate (Newscorp) much like the other five media conglomerates (at&t, cbs, Comcast, Disney and Viacom), which collectively control 90 percent of U.S. media. By the time they are done, there will be one conglomerate for rino Republicans and five conglomerates for radical leftists. But there will be no conglomerates for people who share viewpoints with Donald Trump or Tucker Carlson.

“No less than New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democrat leader, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—the left’s favorite fascist—demanded that Tucker be fired,” reported American Spectator. “Tucker had seriously answered the leftist racist malarkey that is the building block of the American left. Now, Fox has bowed the corporate knee and done what the farthest left politicians in America demanded. In short, Fox has gone woke. What a disgrace. Without question, Fox has managed to self-sabotage in spectacular fashion.”

It’s almost hard to believe, but Fox would rather lose $1 billion and 700,000 viewers than continue letting Carlson talk about issues that highlight why America needs Donald Trump back in office. Just like Budweiser was willing to watch its sales drop 17 percent after featuring a transgender influencer in a commercial, Fox is putting politics above profits in its quest to sabotage the Trump campaign. They hate Trump that much!

A stunning prophecy in 2 Kings 14:26-27 says: “For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.”

My father, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry, explains this end-time prophecy in his book America Under Attack. After identifying Donald Trump as an antitype of the ancient Israelite King Jeroboam ii, my father explains that God is going to use Trump to save America from the radical left. But before this happens, the affliction on America will get so bad that there will be no one fighting to save America except Trump. Until recently, there have been a few people like Tucker Carlson who have been helping Trump. But now even Carlson is off the air. He may soon return, but until then, Trump is in a position where he has no helper.

Expect big things to happen for Donald Trump in the near future, but the fact that the radical left has finally infiltrated Fox News shows just how bitter the affliction on America has become!
