TL;DR Summary
The firing of Fox News' highest-rated host, Tucker Carlson, may have come down to a risk vs reward calculation by the Murdochs, according to a veteran television news executive. Carlson's legal baggage, negative news cycles, and toxicity to advertisers outweighed his loyal audience and individual force in right-wing media. While Fox News has endured the departure of other big personalities, Carlson's departure will test the hypothesis that the brand trumps any single personality.
