Tucker Carlson
Rupert Murdoch
What is true? Only those directly involved really know.
I never watched Mr. Carlson’s program. I don’t watch FOX News, nor any mainstream television so-called news programming except for the occasional viewing of the BBC.
It would appear that Mr. Carlson’s on air comments regarding electronic voting machines and the subsequent financial hit taken by Rupert Murdoch’s media empire played a role, but according to the following article it was Mr. Carlson’s religious view not even spoken on air on FOX News, but in a speech Mr. Carlson made, as well as Mr. Carlson and the former fiance of Mr. Murdoch, Ann Lesley Smith, reading and discussing the Holy Bible after a dinner at Mr. Rupert’s Bel Air estate.
To all the FOX News worshippers, adherents, followers, addicts and disciples — Rupert Murdoch, the man in charge of FOX News clearly hates God, hates Jesus Christ, is anti-God, anti-Jesus, anti-Word of God, anti-truth as to the how and why everything is taking place that is taking place.
Mention God, Jesus, read from the Bible, speak the truth of the spiritual war that is taking place and is the foundational reason everything is happening that is happening, and well, Mr. Murdoch will sack you, or break off his engagement to you, according to the article below.
Think FOX News is the holy grail of news? That FOX News supports your Christian viewpoint? Better pause, make Jesus Christ preeminent in your life, sufficient not in need of anyone or anything else, put all that time and faith you’ve been putting in FOX News into the Holy Bible and the spiritual part of your being rather than the political, the place that the owner and dictator hates God, hates Jesus, hates the Holy Spirit, hates the Holy Bible, and hates the truth of why everything taking place is occuring.
It is all about the never ceasing [until the Lord Jesus Christ returns a Second Time, a Final Time] spiritual war between God and Satan, righteousness, good, and evil. THAT is the root of everything. Within everyone,. Within every government, every institution.
Everything.
And just because Mr. Rupert Murdoch “freaks out” when the Bible is brought out, when the Bible is read, when it is assigned that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have more sway and say than does he? Doesn’t mean Mr. Murdoch ought to be the aribitor, the Roman Emperor upon the throne as he is and his network revered and worshipped, followed by so many professing to be “Christian,” because in the arena of life Mr. Murdoch sits upon his throne giving the “thumbs down” sign whenever a Christian speaks the truth and feeds that person to the lions.
Either worship and serve the Lord, or idolize, and that’s precisely what it is, either idolize a man, a news network.
But you can’t truly do both. As so many pretend and lie that they can.

Tucker Carlson was taken off air by Rupert Murdoch because of overtly religious remarks Fox News’ highest-rated host made during a recent speech, according to Vanity Fair.
Carlson, America’s most popular cable news anchor, was axed less than a week after Fox News settled a lawsuit for an eye watering $787.5 million over its promotion of misinformation about the 2020 election.
Carlson’s nightly show, which brought in more than three million viewers, figured prominently in the case.
The decision sent shockwaves through the U.S. media industry, and wiped more than $500 million of Fox Corporation’s value within hours.
Speculation was rife that the legal entanglements involving Carlson, 53, who is also named in a lawsuit from a former Fox producer, had brought about his demise.
However, according to a report by Vanity Fair, it was Carlson’s remarks at a speech on Friday night that rattled Mr. Murdoch, chair of Fox Corp.
The media mogul was alarmed by the religious language, which Mr. Murdoch found “too extreme”, according to Vanity Fair.
Carlson opened his remarks at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary gala by encouraging everyone to “include the country in your prayers”.
His assessment of the state of the country was laced with religious language, with the TV host framing the partisan battles as a division between “good” and “evil”.
Describing the debate over abortion and transgender rights, he told the audience: “what you’re watching is not a political movement. It’s evil.”
Carlson added: “I’m not calling for religious war. Far from it. I’m merely calling for an acknowledgement of what we’re watching”.
He said that engaging in debate no longer works. “I’ve tried. That doesn’t work,” he said.
He went on to suggest that he has concluded praying for the future could be more powerful.
He said: “Maybe we should all take just 10 minutes a day to say a prayer about it. I’m serious. Why not?”
According to one source close to Mr. Murdoch, the language drove his decision to remove Carlson.
“That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,” the source told Vanity Fair.
The report was by the same journalist who claimed in May that Mr. Murdoch called off his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith because he had become “increasingly uncomfortable” with his fiancee’s outspoken evangelical views.
According to Vanity Fair, Mr. Murdoch had witnessed Carlson and his fiance discussing religion on a previous occasion.
A source told the publication that Carlson, reportedly a favourite of Ms. Smith, had dinner with the couple at Mr. Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard in late March.
During the meal, Ms. Smith reportedly produced a Bible and read passages from the Book of Exodus.
Mr. Murdoch simply “sat there and stared,” the source said. Days later, his engagement to Ms. Smith was called off.
Vanity Fair noted that by taking Carlson off the air, Mr. Murdoch had also cut his former fiance’s “favourite show” on the network.
There may be other elements of Carlson’s speech which stirred Mr. Murdoch’s decision.
In his address at the conservative think tank Heritage, the TV anchor said he got “almost every single call wrong” during last year’s midterm elections.
Carlson said he later took time off to “think about why I was so unbelievably wrong”.
He added: “I typically don’t weigh in on races because, you know, what do I know? I don’t actually cover politics. I’m not that interested.”
The decision to remove Carlson was reportedly made on Friday night by Lachlan Murdoch, the chief executive of Fox Corporation, and Suzanne Scott, its chief executive.
Carlson was told his show was being axed on Monday morning by Ms. Scott.
Vanity Fair said Carlson and Fox Corp declined to comment. Ms. Smith did not respond to a request for comment.
