The fact that he's one of several indicates this is at least a little bigger than him. Neither Silver nor Lemon nor any of the rest are of his stature. But that fact indicates this event has been cooking at least a little while. So this business of looking at his last few shows to figure out which straw broke the camel's back may mean nothing.

The lawsuit wasn't the reason he was fired. It may be part of it, but it wasn't the largest reason by any chance.
Tucker was discussing things outside of the allowable opinion zone, he was going after McConnell for advancing Ukraine, he went after big pharma, he had Gabbi and Greenwald on, and Tucker's opinions were contrary to the establishment narrative.

Showing those J6 videos definitely played a part in his firing as well as AOC and Schumer calling for him to be fired.

RFK Jr. says it was his last broadcast when he slammed the media for pushing the Covide clot-shots.

Ask yourself, is any news organization you know of so corrupt that it’s willing to hurt you on behalf of its biggest advertisers? Anyone who would do that is obviously Pablo Escobar-level corrupt and should not be trusted. What would that look like? That level of corruption? Well, imagine that the Trump administration had made it mandatory for American citizens to buy MyPillow. That’s one of Fox News’s biggest advertisers.
Imagine the administration declared that if you didn’t rush out and buy at least one MyPillow and then at least another booster pillow, you would not be allowed to eat out. You couldn’t reenter your own country. You couldn’t have a paying job. Mypillow They told you the straight face was the very linchpin of our country’s public health system. No matches. They told you that that Fox as a news organization endorsed it, amplified the government’s message.
Imagine if Fox News attacked anyone who refused to buy MyPillow as an ally of Russia, as an enemy of science. And then imagine that Fox kept up those libelous attacks, even as evidence mounted that MyPillow caused heart attacks, fertility problems and death. If Fox News did that, what would you think of Fox News? Would you trust us? Of course you wouldn’t. You would know that we were liars.
Thank heaven Fox News never did anything like that. But the other channels did. The other channels took hundreds of millions of dollars from big pharma companies, and then they shelled for their sketchy products on the air. And as they did that, they maligned anyone who was skeptical of those products. At the very least, this was a moral crime. It was disgusting, but it was universal. It happened across the American news media. They all did it. So at this point, the question isn’t who in public life is corrupt? Too many to count. The question is who is telling the truth?
There are not many of those. One of them is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Robert Kennedy knew early that the COVID vaccines were both ineffective and potentially dangerous and he said so in public to the extent he was allowed. Science has since proven Robert f. Kennedy Jr. right. Unequivocally right.
But Kennedy was not rewarded for this. He was vilified. He was censored because he dared to criticize their advertisers, the news media called Bobby Kennedy a Nazi, and then they attacked his family, but he kept doing it. He was not intimidated and we were glad he wasn’t. This is one of those moments when it’s nice to have a truth teller around. It’s helpful because suddenly the stakes are very high.”

There is protocol that must be followed. MSM is not the place for an individual with critical thinking skills and an audience. Too much controversy and liability for the employer. MSM whether right or left is no different than Republican vs Democrat. They are both sides of the same coin.
Independent voices might find themselves unprotected and sued into bankruptcy for questioning any ideology. It doesn't appear that established law, judges, juries, or Supreme Courts will do anything to protect the individual. Even if the aforementioned would stand for the independent voice, the costs associated with protecting that voice is enormous in this litigating upside down world.
The smart play for Tucker's personal situation is to smile and appease people like he just did in that short video and enjoy the rewards of his prior success. In other words be happy, smile and say nice things about those that love him and mention that truth will ultimately prevail but stay out of the crosshairs. Retire.
If he chooses to wade into the cesspool and keep doing what he has been doing, he deserves respect for standing up to the powers that be. Tucker has a target on his back and needs to decide for himself if life is worth the consequence. He could retire and live comfortably or be possibly thrown in jail.
Many people will accept a free ride in your vehicle but when it breaks down, they are not there to pay for or help fix the vehicle. They simply move on.
The world needs more Tucker Carlsons.

I'm inclined to believe that Tucker was the target. The entire corporate press wanted him gone because he was over the target and called out the game. But just like a major NFL trade, Fox wasn't going to give up their star player without some concessions from their competitors. Thus, Lemon and Silver.
The corporate press knows that their losing relevancy. They're trying to maintain their grasp on power. It's really hard to understate how important power is to people who already have wealth. It's a bypass on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Esteem and self-actualization needs are hard to attain because they require humility. Whereas, power fills that void and all you need is more control.
