<p>Was it his criticism of the Biden administration’s unchecked aid for Ukraine that got Tucker Carlson in trouble at Fox News? New reports of private communication between Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. ; ;</p>



<p>As reported on <em>Semafor</em> on Sunday (April 30), Murdoch had a “previously unreported call” with Zelenskyy weeks before Tucker Carlson and Fox parted ways. </p>



<p>The story wrote that Ukrainian officials were not happy with Carlson’s coverage of the Ukraine war. Still, one of the Ukrainian sources claimed that Carlson was not brought up in the call with either Murdoch or his son Lachlan that was made the month before.</p>



<p><em>Senior Ukrainian officials had made their objections to Carlson’s coverage known to Fox executives. Still, Zelenskyy did not raise it on the calls with the Murdochs, according to one person familiar with the details of the calls. ;</em></p>



<p>In February this year, two months before he parted ways with Fox News, Carlson questioned the Biden administration’s policy of putting Ukraine and “Zelenskyy’s political party” before Americans.</p>

<p>On his show “Redacted,” Former Fox News journalist Clayton Morris also pointed to Carlson’s anti-war stance concerning his departure from the channel. Morris played a clip from his interview with Carlson that shows Carlson telling how he received a text from one of the top people at his workplace and expressed disagreement with his commentary on Ukraine.</p>



<p>“If I really get fired for it, I’m not goanna change,” he said before sharing the story of the text from the unnamed person at Fox.</p>

<p>A few days before his last show on Fox News in April, Carlson not only questioned the operation of multiple US-funded bio labs in Ukraine but questioned the existence of “sensitive nuclear technology” present at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is now under Russian control.</p>



<p>He commented that no one in the media will be asking the question of what kind of sensitive nuclear technology America has at the plant now under Russian control.</p>

<p>Very few media sources reported on the revelation of American nuclear technology operating at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. Neither Fox nor Carlson himself has expressly stated yet why the two parted ways and whether he was fired though most media stories have cited various sources claiming that he was fired for one or more reasons. </p>



<p><em>The Guardian</em> reported the very day that Carlson’s exit from Fox made news that he was fired on the orders of company chairman Rupert Murdoch over a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer.</p>
