Murdoch gets what Murdoch wants — and this time, it’s to erase any evidence that Tucker Carlson ever existed. The media mogul is so insistent that the “T”-word remain unspoken that he has purportedly banned any mention of the ex-host across the Fox networks.
This is bad news for Chadwick Moore, author and contributing editor at The Spectator after he announced his new book, Tucker, that comes out next month. Moore tweeted that he’d been blacklisted from the network after announcing the book, saying: “I’m not allowed on Fox anymore, because I wrote a book about @TuckerCarlson. I’ve been banned from the network.”
Moore was disinvited from Greg Gutfeld’s show on May 31, just days after he released a video announcing the book and detailing the scoop on why Tucker was fired. Moore claimed: “It has been reported that Tucker’s firing is a condition demanded by Dominion as part of the settlement with Fox. Dominion has denied this but my sources have assured me that this is in fact the truth. If that is true it would mean that a small group of people that have a controlling interest in Dominion have managed to silence what is arguably the most important and influential conservative voice in the country, potentially until after the next presidential election.”
Talking about Fox, Moore said: “It’s pretty obvious why I was canceled, I wrote a biography of Tucker Carlson. Fox News personalities are banned from saying Tucker’s name on the air — he’s become Voldemort.”
“Although this book has been in the works for over a year, and Fox honchos were aware of it, and supportive, within an hour of when I announced the book, Gutfeld’s show pulled me off the May 31 episode, with some lame and disingenuous excuse. Funny thing, I wasn’t even going to ask that they plug the book.”
Gutfeld blocked Moore on Twitter after his public accusation that his appearance had been canceled because of the book.
“I planned to go on Gutfeld May 31 and be perfectly respectful, and have a good time, as I’ve always done on Fox. Then Greg goes and blocks me on Twitter and I’m, like, ‘wow, these people are really lost and scrambling.’” Moore said. “Tucker really respected his audience, he didn’t look down on them — and people will see that in my book. I’m beginning to think he was unique at Fox for that.”
