Here’s the NY TImes with a deadpan account, the last line of which is kind of funny:
Live Updates: Fox News Parts Ways With Tucker Carlson Days After Dominion Settlement
The announcement came less than a week after the network agreed to pay $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit in which Mr. Carlson’s show, one of the highest rated on Fox, figured prominently. He was said to be surprised by the move.
Former Douglaston office of NY Congressman Thomas Suozzi, who retired rather than run in 2022, and whose name was still on the office, on a large sign, just a couple of weeks back.
