And now a commentator. where is fox making this move, a very dramatic move, right now? >> well it is hard to ignore that big settlement that fox news just had to pay off to dominion voting just last week and it is hard to disconnect the two seismic events and so i would imagine that part of it is because of that. but, look, fox news is not saying -- what i do know that lachlin murdoch, the parent company and susan scott, the head of fox news, they arrived at this decision to part ways with tucke...

As he lays out in terms of the timing here, does appear to have been very important. relevant to the settlement, perhaps relevant here. we know that some of this information is redacted. so, did you see this type of behavior? did you see it evidenced by carlson? >> no, ive never seen anything like that from tucker. but then, again, if you worked at fox in the last five years, and i havent been there for a little while, you didnt see tucker much because tucker has been working at a private studio...

It issued a boilerplate statement thinking him, saying theyve agreed to part ways, thanking him for his service. if you look typically at how these things play out in american television, often you get stars of that stature getting a farewell show, stars of that stature getting a farewellshow, but stars of that stature getting a farewell show, but that doesnt seem to be the case because the statement says that mr carlsons last programme was friday, 21 april, but when he closed out that show, he ...

Relationship with a woman in the company. joining me now is nbc news senior reporter jane timm, and puck senior correspondent dylan byers. jane, lets get to the reporting, what do you know so far about fox news >> well, katy, i mean, we dont have any reporting that ties this to -- tuckers ousting, tucker carlsons ousting to the dominion settlement. the timing as you said is incredibly curious, but i think whats important here is how much we learned and presumably how much more fox news learned a...

The deadline to participate in the multibillion-dollar opioid settlement has been extended to May 2.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson, whose hard right views transformed him into a celebrity and a darling of some American conservatives, has left the channel in the wake of an expensive legal settlement.

Unexpected we have knowing reporting that indicates thises directly tied to dominion in any way and the settlement this could be unrelated to other things, but the timing is curious that its days after a large settlement that lawsuit of course inspired another one from one of the senior producers who was fired were watching to see if theres any ties, but -- >> i think we lost the connection with jane, but we got the gist of it well have a lot more to come later in the day on msnbc. thanks to jan...

Carlson saying that in his text and then on the air defending donald trump, on the air spreading trumps lies about a rigged election and just recently that had to be an awkward moment sitting across from him and getting that interview right after the arraignment >> i think the most damming stuff if this firing is actually tied to the settlement, john, is some of the stuff tucker carlson was saying about trying to get a fellow fox news reporter fired for her accurate coverage, trying to accuratel...

Dominion voting trial. >> he was supposed to be one of the first witnesses that they called to the stand and of course that got averted when they had that settlement. we should also point out, too, he is so extreme. i mean, the things that he was doing on this program make sean hannity look like a moderate. it started off more as a main stream conservative figure but he has really been radicalized in recent years and also radicalized his audience. the things promoted on his show used to be what ...

At fox, almost appointed a special master to look into foxs misconduct, and even told foxs lawyers hold onto your communications. so, soon thereafter, of course, that case settled. now, whether she was the direct cause of the settlement, well never know. but certainly wed like to think that the value of the settlement substantially increased to what it was because of abbys revelations. and fast forward to today, a week after, our case is still pending. we still have a case here in new york. and ...
