Fox News said in a statement that Carlson has agreed to step down. His last program was broadcast on April 21, according to the BBC.
The statement did not specify a specific reason why Carlson left the media. The Los Angeles Times, citing unnamed people familiar with the situation, reports that the decision to fire Carlson was made by Fox News executives.
Carlson is considered to be one of the most influential people in US conservative circles. He was Fox News’ top-rated host, and his show averaged about three million viewers, the outlet notes.
The announcement of Carlson’s departure comes just days after Fox News reached a settlement in a defamation lawsuit filed by voting machine company Dominion over its coverage of the 2020 US presidential election. In the lawsuit, “Dominion” claimed that “Fox News” harmed its business when the outlet spread false claims that voting machines manufactured by the company were programmed to harm former President Donald Trump.
