Tucker Carlson Drops Bombshell: Murdochs Tried to Take Down Trump from the Inside
In a shocking claim that’s shaking up the conservative base, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson revealed that top executives tied to the Murdoch media empire urged him to run for president against Donald Trump—just weeks after firing him.
“The Murdoch family can’t stand Trump,” Carlson said on a recent episode of his show. “They let me go in April 2023, and just a month later, they were encouraging me to run against him—offering their full backing.”
Carlson, long known for his unapologetic conservative views, said he flatly turned down the offer.
“I’d never win. Plus, I like Trump,” he added.
Even though Carlson has criticized President Trump recently on matters like foreign policy and the Middle East, he made it clear he still respects and supports Trump as the rightful leader of the America First movement.
Murdoch Media Machine Allegedly Targeted Trump
The shocking claim points directly to Lachlan Murdoch, the heir to the Murdoch media dynasty, which controls Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and other major outlets. Carlson says Lachlan personally encouraged him to challenge Trump, offering broad support through their global media empire.
“They offered to back me with their media properties. That says a lot about who they’re really working for,” Carlson warned.
The revelation confirms growing concerns among many conservatives that mainstream media giants—even those pretending to be on our side—can’t be trusted.
Carlson: From Silenced to Unfiltered
Carlson was ousted from Fox News in 2023 after private messages surfaced showing him criticizing network leadership and sharing his views on the events of January 6, 2021—views the corporate media didn’t want aired.
But Carlson didn’t go quietly.
Since his departure, he has built a new independent media platform, where he continues to interview top lawmakers, expose liberal narratives, and stand with President Trump in the fight to restore America.
The takeaway? The same media elites who helped build Fox News now appear to be trying to tear down Trump—and anyone who dares support him.
