Is the truth finally coming out?
Former Fox News star Tucker Carlson‘s upcoming book reportedly addresses his bombshell firing from the network.
In his new biography, Carlson says his ouster was a condition of Fox’s historic settlement with Dominion Voting Systems earlier this year. In April, Fox News agreed to pay $787.5 million to the voting systems company hours before the defamation trial was scheduled to begin.
Carlson’s private messages disparaging Fox executives and former President Trump uncovered through discovery gained special attention. (RELATED: Fox Sends Cease-And-Desist Letter Over Leaked Tucker Carlson Footage)
The left-leaning publication The Guardian obtained a copy of the book, which is scheduled to be released in the United States on Aug. 1. They published the following quote:
“They agreed to take me off the air, my show off the air, as a condition of the Dominion settlement,” Carlson tells his biographer, Chadwick Moore. “They had to settle this; Rupert [Murdoch, the 92-year-old Fox News owner] couldn’t testify. I think that deal was made minutes before the trial started.
“I mean, I know it was.”
Fox has repeatedly denied” that Carlson’s firing was a condition of the settlement, as has Dominion, which released a statement on the matter. (RELATED: Fox News, Dominion Voting Systems Break Silence On Tucker Carlson Ouster)
As the Fox principals who negotiated the settlement well know, Dominion made no demands about Tucker Carlson’s employment orally or in writing. Any claims otherwise are categorically false and a thinly veiled effort to further damage Dominion. Fox should take every effort to stop these lies immediately.
Chadwick Moore, Carlson’s biographer and a repeat Fox News guest, said while promoting the book, “Although Dominion has denied this, my sources have intimate knowledge of the situation and they have assured me even before this news leaked that that is in fact the truth.”

He should have been told upfront. Then there’d be no speculation.
Why is Dominion fighting so hard? Are they trying to suppress something to block it from public dissemination?
