The best read I've seen so far on Tucker Carlson losing his show comes from The Duran 
(Alex Christoforou & Alexander Mercouris) in 
https://rumble.com/v2kev42-biden-harris-2024.-fox-news-fires-tucker-carlson.html with 
the following exceptions:

1. It's not clear that Tucker Carlson was fired. Former Fox news host Megyn Kelly 
said (in https://youtube.com/watch?v=WnhwZaZ3qkc in the first minutes) that Carlson 
only had his show taken away.

2. Only party bosses have a say in the matter and this is how things have been for 
decades.

Here's Bruce Spiva speaking to a court in his official capacity as the DNC 
Corporation's lawyer. What Spiva calls "our standard bearer" is what most other 
people call the Democratic Party nominee.
