Tucker Carlson addresses viral rumor he’s leaving Fox News: This show is only getting bigger

November 17, 2020 | Frieda Powers

Tucker Carlson assured his viewers that the rumors are not true and he is not leaving Fox News Channel.

The host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” addressed a recent whirlwind of speculation about his departure from the network where he has enjoyed unprecedented ratings success in the months leading up to the election. Though Carlson did not reference the blowback against Fox News, especially following Election Day coverage, he did note the many phone calls coming in about his show, which he insisted is “not going anywhere.”

As a number of Fox News anchors and hosts have noticeably pushed back on some claims by President Donald Trump and his campaign about contested election results, the network’s once-loyal viewers began to voice their anger.

After several examples of a seeming shift in tone in the network’s coverage of the president, Fox News viewers began an exodus to other sources such as Newsmax, and many wondered if Carlson would be joining them. A Facebook post on November 15 set off a wave of rumors after a screenshot of a fake Parler post declared the host was leaving and “starting at NewsMax next month.”

In a perfect world Carlson, Hannity, and Levin would give Foix the finger and say we are not idelogically compatible.

The imperfect world says that there are egos, lawyers, contracts, and power struggles.

Faux probably made Tucker an offer he couldn't refuse.... so he stayed, out of greed, not out of fear.   But if he has any integrity at all.... he will leave that network as soon as possible.   If he remains at Faux, he's never going to see me as a fan or viewer again.  And I am in good company re: that.

Well, I respect his loyalty to his employer. On the other hand he's Fox's golden goose right now and I'm sure they're compensating him nicely.

This show is only getting bigger

Does Tucker mean the show is only getting "longer"?   Because if he means "bigger" in viewership he's going to have to stand up to Fox management or start siphoning viewers from CNN and MSNBC -- and that's his death spiral.
