regimes. that was all fine. but when the toxic culture within fox is exposed and it threatens to cost rupert money, that s when you gotta go remember, that is what happened with tuck em s predecessor, bill o reilly, who was then fox s biggest star he was let go after a series of sexual harassment allegations against him became public, with settlement payouts totaling around $13 million joining me now is tara setmayer, senior adviser to the lincoln project, and angelo carasoni i m going to go to you first because i have met you and you have been fighting this battle against fox and trying to illuminate the racism and the dangers of it. i am very curious what you made of tucker s firing today i mean, a couple things when glenn beck got fired it was because he was contrary to their business model he drove away all their
