FOX NEWS AND Tucker Carlson have parted ways — effective immediately.

The network announced the split in a press release on Monday. “Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the statement read. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”

Harris Faulkner announced the move on air, essentially reading the press release but adding that the parting was “mutual.”

Fox staffers who spoke to Rolling Stone seemed overjoyed by the news. “Pure joy. No one is untouchable. It’s a great day for America, and for the real journalists who work hard every day to deliver the news at Fox,” said one reporter.

“It was a good move to part ways with Tucker,” added a producer. “He knowingly spread lies throughout his time at Fox, but I fear management will replace him with someone who is just like him … so there probably won’t be any real change.”
