According to Wikipedia's entry on Carlson, his stepmother is a member of the Swanson clan, though the family businesses had been sold off to Conagra and Campbells before she married Tucker's father.

They have money, but not from the current Swanson brands.

Can't have that coming from your head propagandist. There are plenty of mouth breathers out there that can do what Tucks did and will kneel before their mighty orange god. And for a lot less money. I'm sure they are in cost cutting mode right now with Smartmatic coming up next.

Murdoch is Not fond of the Domestic Terrorist, either.

Imo.. it's a culmination of Tucker being Tucker.

Just glad the Russian Propaganda Machine is GONE.

7. He was fired on account of the Abby Grossberg lawsuit.

People familiar with the situation who were not authorized to comment publicly said the decision to fire Carlson came straight from Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch.

Carlson’s exit is related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, the producer fired by the network last month, the people said. Carlson’s senior executive producer Justin Wells has also been terminated, according to people familiar with the matter. A Fox News representative would not comment.

Heard that Climax Blues Band record and realized the Hippies were right about the war inside Vietnam.



FOX and Fiends, including Tucker Carlson, cheered for wars in the Middle East, for petrodollars and power. They are part the fascist international which slaves for the “Money Trumps Peace” crowd.
