Fox News Media and top-rated host Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways, it said, less than a week after the media company and its parent Fox Corp settled a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems for $787.5 million.
Grossberg, who had been Carlson's head of booking, last month accused network lawyers of pressuring her to provide misleading testimony. She also said Fox exposed her and others to rampant sexism and misogyny. Fox fired Grossberg, saying her legal claims were "riddled with false allegations against Fox and our employees.
But in the immediate weeks after Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, smaller, more conservative rivals to Fox such as Newsmax saw viewership rise as they questioned election results. Dominion alleged that Fox staff, ranging from Carlson and members of the newsroom to the board of directors, knew the statements about Dominion were false but continued to air them to avoid losing more viewers.
Dominion is also suing Newsmax, along with One America News, another smaller conservative media network, for making similar debunked claims as Fox about vote rigging, seeking $1.6 billion in damages from each network. After the announcement of Carlson's departure from Fox News, a Trump spokesperson tweeted: "Fox News is controlled opposition." Trump gave an interview to Carlson earlier this month that aired on Fox.
