According to Tucker Carlson’s biographer, a once-common word at Fox News is now completely off the airwaves.
According to Chadwick Moore, the term is “Tucker.”
Carlson was removed from the airwaves a month ago, with Fox News never providing an official explanation for its decision to abruptly muzzle its most popular host.
Sunday, Moore — author of the forthcoming book “Tucker” — made his allegations in a series of tweets.
“Fox News employees have told me privately that all on-air talent have been banned from saying the name ‘Tucker’ on air,” he said.

And how do the on-air talent feel about being censored.

Some Fox News people texted me tonight, re: my tweets. They were pissed off and petty. I don’t care. I think I wrote a good book. I’m proud of it. https://t.co/iouoSM47yw

Moore stated that Fox News presenters, including Greg Gutfeld, were conforming.
They aren’t. I can assure you of that. https://t.co/KY90JKEXes

Well, I’ve been canceled by liberal corporate media and now I’m canceled by corporate “conservative” media. I think I’ll be fine. I couldn’t care less. https://t.co/xVHGiUzPce

In addition, he claimed that the network barred authors unless they promoted books associated with its corporate structure.
“This is FACT: Fox News has a new policy (aside from banning me): they won’t plug any book from a guest unless it was published by HarperCollins,” Moore said. “You can’t be a guest on Fox unless you’re a Fox author…it’s all so hilarious and grotesque.”

The Western Journal has sought out to Fox News for comment, but there has been no response as of Monday morning.
Carlson has indicated that he intends to establish a Twitter version of his former program.
Patrick Feeney, who manages Carlson’s property in Woodstock, Maine, told the Daily Mail that Fox News employees arrived to the barn that had been converted into a studio during the pandemic and removed everything that had been paid for.
“They took the set and everything, all the equipment, the chairs, the desk, the fake walls, everything,” he said.
“There’s no hardware in place at all. There’s not even an infrastructure for a TV studio for a long time,” Feeney said.
A source familiar with the situation told The Western Journal that Fox News removed the apparatus (which it possesses) after constructing a custom studio at its expense, but did not demolish the studio.
Feeney stated that, to his knowledge, there were no imminent plans for the barn. Carlson has a residence in Florida in addition to his home in Maine.
“We just came to clean it up and get it looking like something again. There’s no imminent venture. We’re just getting ready in case something does happen,” he said.
