Tucker Carlson’s name has been blacked listed at Fox News with all employees banned from making any reference to the network’s former star anchor on-air.
According to Carlson’s biographer Chadwick Moore, Fox News has now banned the word “Tucker” from the airwaves entirely.
Carlson departed Fox News a month but the network has never given an official reason why it decided to suddenly silence its top-rated host.
Moore made his allegations in a series of tweets Sunday.
“Fox News employees have told me privately that all on-air talent have been banned from saying the name ‘Tucker’ on air,” said Moore, author of the forthcoming book “Tucker.”

Some Fox News people texted me tonight, re: my tweets. They were pissed off and petty. I don’t care. I think I wrote a good book. I’m proud of it. https://t.co/iouoSM47yw

Moore said Fox News hosts — including Greg Gutfeld — were falling in line.
They aren’t. I can assure you of that. https://t.co/KY90JKEXes

Well, I’ve been canceled by liberal corporate media and now I’m canceled by corporate “conservative” media. I think I’ll be fine. I couldn’t care less. https://t.co/xVHGiUzPce

Moore also accused Fox of banning authors unless they are promoting books linked to its corporate structure.
“This is FACT: Fox News has a new policy (aside from banning me): they won’t plug any book from a guest unless it was published by HarperCollins,” Moore said.
“You can’t be a guest on Fox unless you’re a Fox author…it’s all so hilarious and grotesque.”

Meanwhile, Carlson has indicated he plans to launch a version of his former show on Twitter, as Slay News reported.
During the early days of the pandemic, a barn on Carlson’s property in Woodstock, Maine, had been converted into a studio so he could continue his hit Fox News show from home.
Last week, Patrick Feeney, who is managing work on Carlson’s property, said Fox News employees came to the barn studio and took away everything that it had paid for, according to the Daily Mail.
“They took the set and everything, all the equipment, the chairs, the desk, the fake walls, everything,” he said.
“There’s no hardware in place at all.
“There’s not even an infrastructure for a TV studio for a long time.”
Feeney said to his knowledge there was nothing immediately in the works for the barn.
Carlson has a house in Florida in addition to his Maine residence.
“We just came to clean it up and get it looking like something again,” he said.
“There’s no imminent venture.
“We’re just getting ready in case something does happen.”
