9 Fox News Staffers Dump Network to Join Tucker Carlson’s Team

Several Fox News staffers have reportedly quit the network to join star anchor Tucker Carlson’s new broadcast team.

In a series of tweets, Carlson’s biographer Chadwick Moore claimed that multiple Fox News employees have now jumped ship.

Moore says nine staffers have now quit their jobs at Fox to join Carlson.

โ€œMy sources have now told me *NINE* former Tucker Carlson Tonight staffers have left Fox News to join Tucker on his next venture,โ€ he wroteย on Saturday.

“There are others who are waiting to leave as soon as a role opens up for them with Tucker. Each of the 9 approached Tucker, not the other way around.”

โ€œAlso, quietly, many familiar faces from Tucker Carlson Tonight areย refusing to appearย on Fox News since Tucker was bizarrely pulled off the airโ€”and not just the ones who got blacklisted for writing a book about him!โ€ heย wrote.

โ€œTucker Carlsonโ€™s team at Fox was extremely close. Most of them were there from the launch of the show until itโ€™s end, and theyโ€™ve stood by their boss in the aftermath,โ€ heย continued.

Last week, Carlson mocked Fox after the network fired a producer who took responsibility for an anti-Biden chyron.

Last Tuesday, a chyron appeared on the screen that called Democrat President Joe Biden a โ€œwannabe dictator.”

According to Vanity Fair, Alexander McCaskill, who was a producer for Carlsonโ€™s show, wrote, โ€œWannabe Dictator Speaks At the White House After Having His Political Rival Arrested.โ€

โ€œThe women who run the network panicked,โ€ Carlson said on his Twitter broadcast Thursday, according to Vanity Fair.

โ€œFirst they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen. Less than 24 hours after that, he resigned.

“He had been at Fox for more than a decade,โ€ Carlson said.

“He was considered one of the most capable people in the building.

“He offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately.”

According to a report inย The New York Times, Thomas Fox, ย a senior editorial producer on Carlsonโ€™s former Fox News show, also leftย Fox Newsย last week.

The Times report, which cited โ€œtwo people with knowledge of the moves,โ€ said one of those sources said McCaskill and Fox had been looking at leaving Fox News even before the Tuesday incident.

Charles Couger, executive producer of โ€œTucker Carlson Originals,โ€ Carlsonโ€™s former Fox Nation show, left Fox News last month.

NBCย recently took a stab at trying to discern the size ofย Carlson’s audience.

According to what it was told by Tubular Labs, a media analytics firm, about 26 million people watchedย Carlson’s first Twitter video.

The second episode was watched by about 13.2 million people while his most recent one last Tuesday drew 18.7 million people, NBC reported.

The report notes that there is a significant difference between views logged by Twitter and the number developed by the media analytics firm.
