Fox News is reportedly losing employees to Tucker Carlson, who abruptly parted with the network in April.
Carlson’s biographer Chadwick Moore reported Saturday that at least nine Fox News employees already left the cable news network to go work on Carlson’s new Twitter show, with even more preparing to jump ship.
“My sources have now told me *NINE* former Tucker Carlson Tonight staffers have left Fox News to join Tucker on his next venture,” Moore tweeted.
“There are others who are waiting to leave as soon as a role opens up for them with Tucker. Each of the 9 approached Tucker, not the other way around.”

But that’s not all — apparently many regular Fox News guests are refusing to appear on Fox in solidarity with Carlson and in protest of his ouster.
“Tucker Carlson’s team at Fox was extremely close. Most of them were there from the launch of the show until it’s end, and they’ve stood by their boss in the aftermath. I write about it in my book,” Moore noted.
Also, quietly, many familiar faces from Tucker Carlson Tonight are refusing to appear on Fox News since Tucker was bizarrely pulled off the air—and not just the ones who got blacklisted for writing a book about him!

“Also, quietly, many familiar faces from Tucker Carlson Tonight are refusing to appear on Fox News since Tucker was bizarrely pulled off the air—and not just the ones who got blacklisted for writing a book about him!” he added, referring to Fox News’ recent decision to ban Moore from appearing on the network when news emerged he wrote a book about Carlson.
This comes as Fox has been hemorrhaging millions of viewers since Tucker’s exit.
Additionally, reports emerged that Fox is throwing its lot in with the other cable news networks by pushing ESG, LGBTQ and woke policies in its employee handbook.
