As Fox News Channel’s cable ratings crash to dismally bad levels and the supposedly conservative network seemingly drifts to the left now that Tucker and Bongino are gone, Tucker’s biographer is now claiming that nine former Tucker staffers have ditched the network to work for “Tucker on Twitter.”
Posting about that on June 17, Moore claimed that nine former Fox staffers have already ditched the network to work for Tucker on Twitter and numerous other current FNC employees are waiting in the wings to jump ship and work for Tucker as soon as a role for them opens up.
He said: “My sources have now told me *NINE* former Tucker Carlson Tonight staffers have left Fox News to join Tucker on his next venture. 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.”

In another June 17 tweet, Moore noted that the former Fox producer fired for a chyron criticizing Biden, a producer Tucker described as the best in the business, would be joining Tucker’s new team. “The Based Chyron Guy, Alex McCaskill, was a former Tucker Carlson Tonight producer who has now left Fox News after ten years, en route to joining Tucker’s new team. He is one of at least three former producers who have left Fox to join Tucker’s new venture,” Moore said.
“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,” he continued.

And it’s not just Fox News employees who are ditching the network to support Tucker. According to Moore, former guests on Tucker’s program refuse to appear on the network to show solidarity with Tucker. He said: “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 also noted, in response to a tweet asking if those who appear on Fox News get paid, that those who still appear are bizarrely doing it as charity for the leftward drifting network. The tweet to which he responded asked, “Do folks get paid to appear on one of these shows? Whether to be Tuckers, hannitys or Inghrams? I always wondered that. I understand if you can’t discuss. 😣” Responding, he said, “Nope. Never one cent. If they are identified as a “Contributor” then they do get paid by the network. For the rest of us, it was pro-bono. And for anyone still going on Fox, I guess it’s charity work.”
Moore also backed up Tucker’s claim that FNC is now run by women in a tweet on the 17th of June, saying “Fox News is a gynarchy” with a picture noting that a “spokeswoman” didn’t comment on the depatures of Fox and McCaskill.
