Tucker Carlson, who was recently let go from Fox News, has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the experience without disclosing the reason for his departure.

In a Twitter post on April 26, he said, "One of the first things you realize, when you step outside the noise for a few days, is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country. Kind and decent people who really care about what is true — and a bunch of hilarious people. So, that is heartening."

Carlson, 53, also took a swipe at the trivial nature of televised debates, stating, "The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates on television are." He added that in five years, these debates would be forgotten, even by those who participated in them.

Furthermore, Carlson criticized the U.S. media for not providing a "legitimate debate" on critical subjects such as civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, natural resources, war, and corporate power. He commented that true things are not allowed in American media, but that there is still hope as long as the truth can be heard.

Fox News announced Carlson's departure on April 24, thanking him for his service as a host and contributor. His last broadcast was on April 21.

Following the announcement, Carlson was seen enjoying his time in Boca Grande, Florida, with his wife, Susan. When asked about his new life, he told a cameraman, "Retirement is going great so far."

Both Carlson and former President Donald Trump were taken aback by the unexpected dismissal. Trump, 76, spoke to Newsmax host Greg Kelly on the same day, expressing his shock and praising Carlson as "a very good person and a very good man" with "very high ratings."
