They spoke in March. Carlson was fired in late April. Just a few days after the massive settlement fox agreed to pay dominion. I think I know which one of these two events likely led to his dismissal. And apparently Carlsons coverage wasn't even discussed.

"Senior Ukrainian officials had made their objections to Carlson’s coverage known to Fox executives, but Zelensky did not raise it on the calls with the Murdochs, according to one person familiar with the details of the calls."
What do you mean by "Murdoch kids live in a liberal bubble"?The March call was with Lachan Murdoc (the son) and was confirmed. The call with Rupert (dad) is the one they were saying was just days before but has not been confirmed yet afik. I am not sure how much I believe the guy who said nope, they didnt discuss the biggest detractor Zelensky has on Fox (maybe the only one).
I do think that the settlement had more to do with it than anything. Could be as some said, the Murdocs werent paying attention while the money was rolling in but then there was this major hit (but wasnt really on Tucker per se) and they wanted to smack people around to show who is in charge. I dont think they had a clue how much impact it would have when they did it. Murdoc kids live in a liberal bubble.
Carlson’s text that alarmed Fox leaders: ‘It’s not how white men fight’
A text message sent by Tucker Carlson that set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial showed its most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race.
The discovery of the message contributed to a chain of events that ultimately led to Carlson’s firing.
Carlson described how he had recently watched a video of a group of men — Trump supporters, he said — violently attacking “an Antifa kid.” It was “three against one, at least,” he wrote.
“Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously,” he wrote.
“It’s not how white men fight,” he said.
“I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it,” he wrote.

I guess its not exclusively a liberal bubble they live in then.Its not like they ever watched anything on Fox News. They live in the elite world where their elitist friends babble on about their own problems. They have absolutely no clue what is going on beneath the clouds. Thats also why they did not expect the backlash to be so severe. They did not realize that their entire lineup was anchored by Tucker, who has largely become the erudite voice of populist nationalism, while the rest of Fox is the old Republican Inc.
Please. There is not a liberal anywhere who isn't 100% positive that Tucker lands of the air somewhere.LOL the libs are so so desperate to ensure Tucker doesnt go back on the air somewhere. So pathetic in your attempts, so sad.
In the rest of that text:
In that text, Carlson described his own emotions as he watched the video of the violent clash, which he said took place on the streets of Washington. Carlson did not describe the race of the man being attacked.
“I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it,” he wrote. “Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be.”
After all, he wrote, “Somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed.”
“If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?” he wrote.
Basically saying exactly why those things were wrong and that it was wrong to think that way.
THIS IS FOR YOU Luther
Perfect example - because the left doesnt have any REAL magic (willing to give your whole life for it), they result to cheap parlor tricks.
What a sicko! Sounds like he needs to see a psychotherapist pronto because Tucker has some deep emotional problems.
Megyn Kelly says Fox News is in panic mode. Primetime has collapsed. If they lose in primetime for a month to MSDNC, it will be a catastrophic moment for them.
