Carlson’s segments on Ukraine reportedly made their way to Russian state media, sparking speculation about his exit from the network.

Tucker Carlson has revealed that he is unsure about the exact reasons for his sudden departure from Fox News but has suggested that his outspoken views on Ukraine may have been a factor. Carlson, who was a prominent host on the network, often criticised US involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, with his segments reportedly being picked up by Russian state media.

In his recent comments, Carlson implied that his stance on Ukraine might have been a ‘red line’ for the network, hinting that it could have led to his departure. While he did not confirm any specifics, his views on the war in Ukraine, which often ran counter to the mainstream narrative, had caused tension within certain political and media circles.

Carlson’s coverage of the Ukraine conflict, which framed the US’s role in the war in a critical light, seemed to resonate with some of the Russian government’s messaging, further raising concerns within the network about his content.

The reasons behind Carlson’s exit from Fox News remain unclear, but his controversial viewpoints and the reaction they provoked continue to fuel speculation.
