| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. Today is Tuesday, April the 25th, 2023. I'm Chris Elkins with the Denison Forum, narrating today's article written by Dr. Ryan Denison. |
| 0:14.1 | On Monday, Fox News announced that they are parting ways with Tucker Carlson, the highest rated host in cable news. |
| 0:22.0 | Carlson's final show aired last Friday, and he signed off by telling his audience, |
| 0:27.0 | we'll be back on Monday. In the meantime, have the best weekend. |
| 0:31.2 | The network continued to run promotions for him over the following days, which seem even |
| 0:36.4 | more strange, considering that the decision |
| 0:39.2 | to move on from Carlson was reportedly made last Friday night. |
| 0:43.9 | While as of this writing, it's unknown exactly why Carlson and Fox News parted ways. |
| 0:49.9 | Many believe it may have been connected to the network's recent settlement with Dominion voting systems |
| 0:56.1 | to the tune of more than $787 million for airing false claims about the 2020 presidential election |
| 1:04.6 | and Dominion's role in the reported controversy. As the case played out, private text messages between Carlson and the producer of his show, as well as with other Fox personalities, revealed that Carlson's private feelings about the election and former President Donald Trump did not always align with the message he shared on his show. In a text to one producer, he wrote, we are very, very close to |
| 1:29.5 | being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can't wait. Later, he added that, I hate him |
| 1:36.5 | passionately, and I can't handle much more of this. He also described claims that the voting |
| 1:42.7 | software was manipulated as absurd, despite giving significant airtime to those claims. |
| 1:48.9 | Denison Forum has previously covered claims of election fraud in the article, |
| 1:53.5 | How Fair Are the U.S. elections? A link to this article is in today's episode notes. |
| 1:59.6 | Carlson is also currently facing a lawsuit from the previous |
| 2:03.0 | top booker for his show, Abby Grossberg, who claims that his team created a sexist and |
| 2:09.1 | misogynist environment. For similar reasons, some employees inside Fox News told CNN, there's a lot |
| 2:16.5 | of relief generally and hope for a culture change following |
| 2:20.0 | Carlson's departure. Yet, despite the revelations and accusations, it is still surprising to see |
| 2:25.7 | the network split with the controversial host. Carlson's show brought in roughly $77.5 million |
