Behind the Tucker Carlson–Fox News Breakup

On this week’s episode of Inside the Hive, host Brian Stelter talks to Gabriel Sherman and Bess Levin about the bombshell Fox dropped before the Dominion dust had even settled: the ouster of prime-time star Tucker Carlson. “We wake up Monday and he’s out. It was just a total U-turn,” said Sherman, which “raises questions about Rupert Murdoch’s leadership of the media empire.” The Vanity Fair writers discuss what the decision means for the company, the viewers, and the host who seemed to have no boundaries.
