Tucker and Fox parting ways

I think this is just the start of the shakeup at Fox

Not quite the start. I think they already parted ways with three others.

Fair, more changes will likely follow.

I’m sure there will be some conspiracy theorists linking this to the release of the J6 tapes. Or selected release that is

Smh…yeah you are right some will try to link it.

Does he go to OAN or newsmax? Can they afford him?

The Smartmatic trial may actually get to where Fox hosts testify. He was one of those who knew the election steal claims were false, yet promoted them. Shareholder pressure?

Why wouldn’t he be fired. They knowingly lied about the “stolen election” and they did it with zero regards for the businesses, the people and our republic.

They are awful.

They all probably thought that they were the heart of the network therefore not expendable. As always unless you are the one signing the checks you are expendable.

He played a very big role in the size of the settlement with Dominion and there is more to come.

Ex-employees said he was a toxic boss, too. Can you imagine the scramble at Fox and at OAN, Newsmax, etc. by people wanting to be in that time slot? Clown car.

He was stupid rich through inheritance before getting richer on Fox News. He’ll need to search for a new favorite thing to do, could work for free at OAN or other outlet. His following is so large as he could make Newsmax viable. What happens with him a few months out will be interesting.

Just saw Don Lemmon got the axe at CNN too.

He’d gotten annoying. He and Cuomo were very close, probably knew about Cuomo’s misdeeds.

Cuomo now seems to have a pretty good gig at News Nation though.

NYT said Lemon was having trouble booking guests because he made a comment about Nikki Haley being past her prime at 53. And argued with Caitlin Collins. And not a good fit for a morning slot. Guess it all just came together, and with the Carlson termination, the story can get buried just a little bit.

Maybe Fox and CNN are going to start reporting the news instead of presenting news as entertainment.

I still tell everyone that PBS and NPR should be their “go to” news sources.

What will be interesting is being out at Fox does Tucker make a run at the Republican nomination. Only guy with as high of name ID as Trump, wealthy, can carry all the same people as Trump, and be the only guy better at media manipulation

Terrifying possibilities, but would be must see TV.

I was just thinking the same thing. He already has the MAGA base and they don’t care if he is a coastal elite.
