[Note the eyeballs emoji from Tucker himself, and the lack of any pushback. Both Fox and Dominion deny that the defamation settlement required the cancellation of Tucker’s show, but the Ray Epps issue makes some sense. From the start, rumors had swirled that Tucker wanted to go full blast at Epps after he threatened a defamation suit on his 60 Minutes appearance, and that Fox News wanted to avoid more potential liability. Fox ordered Tucker not to do it, anonymous sources claimed shortly afterward, and then canceled his show when Tucker refused to comply. Moore seems to be confirming this at least in a general sense, and that seems more likely than a Dominion demand, especially since other hosts were arguably more involved in the Kraken promotion and still remain. — Ed]
