New York City, NY (WSAU) – Famous biographer Chadwick Moore claimed during a video on Monday morning that he now understands the reasoning behind Fox News’ decision to pull Tucker Carlson off the air back in April.
Moore claimed in a video he posted promoting the impending biography simply titled “Tucker” that part of the coverage of the subject had been true.
In his opening remarks, Moore said that he had spent the previous year getting to know Carlson. He also appeared on the show frequently, including the final episode that aired on Friday, April 21.
Then he added that he had also seen the monologue Carlson had prepared to deliver on April 24; it would have been delivered just hours after Fox News had declared the well-liked host would no longer be working at the company.
The monologue, he said, also addressed numerous people who were actively trying to silence Carlson saying, “It has now been reported that his firing was a condition demanded by Dominion as part of the settlement with Fox. Although Dominion has denied this, my sources have intimate knowledge of the situation and have assured me — even before this news leaked – that that is, in fact, the truth.”
For the last year, I've been writing the definitive biography of @TuckerCarlson, based on thorough research and 100+ hours of interviews.
But there's some info that can't wait for July 18: the scoop on why Fox canceled his show.

A separate scathing interview given by a whistleblower at the network said that not only has Fox News’ corporate headquarters been policing producers and have also been ordering them to refrain from criticizing transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney.
An anonymous former producer for Tucker Carlson Tonight told the Post Millennial, “When trans-identifying TikTok star Mulvaney was first gaining prominence last year, producers for ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ had to fight to be able to refer to Mulvaney with male pronouns in the show’s chyrons.”
The Post Millennial received confirmation of the instruction from a source who stated, “The mandate is to ‘not be spicy.'”
The source also confirmed that Fox has been touting a pro-LGBTQI+ rating given by the Human Rights Campaign, a transgender advocacy non-profit group. According to the source, Fox highlights this rating in employee orientations, provides individuals with the choice to use preferred pronouns, and forces others to adhere to new speech norms.
Fox also appeared to have a problem with Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire, who was a frequent guest on Carlson’s show when he spoke out against a piece the network ran that praised a minor receiving a sex change.
The piece in question followed a Californian family who helped gender-transitioned their 14-year-old daughter. Fox honored the bravery of the teen and his family. They also cited data from the controversial group The Trevor Project, a nonprofit group that helps people including minors in some cases receive what they describe as “gender-affirming care.”

As stated in the employee handbook, Fox employees “may access the restroom corresponding to their gender identity.” This means that men who identify as women at Fox are welcome to use the women’s restrooms. According to a 2021 business handbook provided to The Daily Signal, the network has also assisted employees in creating a “gender transition plan.”
Newsweek has reported that in the first two weeks since Carlson was fired, ratings for his former time slot have fallen by roughly 50%, while the network’s audience among 25 to 54-year-olds has decreased by two-thirds.
