Hear me out-
With Tucker leaving the network today FOX News just lost by far their biggest star. Why would Tucker walk away and why would FOX let him?
If I were to venture a guess, it's because Tucker never wanted FOX to settle that Dominion suit. Not only does it provide a layer of legitimacy to the vote rigging bs ("Dominion isn't stealing elections, they sued FOX and won" etc) but FOX was entitled to a certain level of discovery as being the sued party in the lawsuit. If their attorneys REALLY wanted to get some answers and dig into the information, they could have. But their lawyers never were working for FOX.
Tucker posted something a few days ago about a story he did on cows, and then FOX News did a story on it, and Tucker (or someone on his team) said "we were on this story first" with a link to their own reporting on it.
When I saw that I immediately thought that Tucker was sending some kind of message to FOX, this was after the Dominion suit. Throw in Tucker's last episode where he says "we'll be back" while eating pizza with the pizza delivery guy for more tells.
I'm willing to bet that Tucker had a story lined up (real news, not FOX RINO messaging) that his superiors were deathly afraid he would air. And instead of giving him this week to drop it, they got ahead of it and basically burned their own house down in the process.
So why would FOX just give Dominion hundreds of millions without even using any lawfare and why would they not only let the golden goose get away, but tell the golden goose to leave?
Whoever's in control at FOX isn't really in control, are they.
It protects them both. We saw fox call Arizona before anyone else, fox stole the election first. This way they can stay out of being labeled as a part of the crime because they are absolving themselves for claiming it was rigged. Dominion gets almost a billion dollars which is their payout for actually stealing the election. It's a pretty brilliant play. Trump gave fox one last chance when he told them they should push the election and dominion suit hard. They didn't and Tucker jumps ship. No coincidences.
