> Fox news fired Tucker Carlson, the most popular news anchor in the channel's history. This is not an economically driven business

Nonsense example. Carlson was the figurehead for a narrative that cost Murdoch $800 million in defamation.

Carlson has not been a news anchor his entire time at Fox News - he would be more fairly called a commentator or show host.

He was a commentator when he was on CNN as well. He has never been a news anchor.

I would swear as well in court Fox News claimed he was an 'entertainer' at some point.
