BLOWHARD Tucker Carlson was just the first loose cannon to be tossed overboard as FOX News battles to stay afloat after paying $787.5 million for lying about the 2020 presidential election, insiders say.
Sources fear Donald Trump’s on-air FOX boosters — including hosts Sean Hannity, Jeanine Pirro, Steve Doocy, Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo and others — are on the chopping block following the network’s monster settlement with Dominion voting machines over election lies.
But even as FOX hosts and rank-and-filers brace for a bloodbath, sources say the fight is on to claim Tucker’s primetime job as Brian Kilmeade, Jesse Watters and even Geraldo Rivera go toe to toe behind the scenes, with insiders predicting Hannity’s squeeze, blond beauty Ainsley Earhardt, has the inside track!
“There is a sense of doom throughout the network,” dishes a FOX insider. “Everybody knows if the network was willing to make its biggest star walk the plank — ANYBODY could be next!
“It’s not a question of ‘if,’ but rather ‘WHO’ is going to be next. TV is a business — and it’s bad business to promote personalities who are linked to the lies that led to this devastating payout.”
Speculation is currently rampant business reporter Bartiromo and Justice with Judge Jeanine host Pirro are next on the chopping block — and sources say the pair have told pals they fear the worst.
