Fox has a long history of turning on crazies, getting rid of them when they can no longer control them / become a liability and finding new crazies to take their place - Glenn Beck, Bill O'Riley to name a couple.Fox News without Tucker - another opportunity to sweep up more eyeballs and turn them to centreville.
ps :
Tucker’s Successor Will Be Worse
The history of Fox News shows that the network and its issues are larger than any one anchor.

Any rising conservative TV star would love to grab for the crown Carlson has doffed, or that’s been taken from him. The audience, influence, and money involved make it irresistible, but his career arc illustrates the hazards. To remain on top at Fox, hosts have to be ready to continually ratchet up their rhetoric, because the network’s business model depends on continual audience outrage. But audiences eventually become inured and require new and more extreme input. Providing that is a challenging and soul-leaching job—and someone will be delighted to have it.
I stopped using Twitter when I figured out - basically Twitter works the same way - dishing out sensational stuff to cause outrage. No not Twitter per se - but most of the top posters there.
