Tucker out at FoxNews

@89th said in Tucker out at FoxNews:
Overall I liked Tucker. He got better every year. I fear he’s yet another body in Trump’s wake for regurgitating election fraud conspiracies, to which it sounds like he didn’t even really believe.
Poor Tucker Carlson, deciding to lie like that?

That was Tucker’s lie over at Fox
Actually, when you look at the number of people, that's true.

Somewhere - was it in this thread? - someone linked an article that claimed that there's no NDA with Carlson's departure. So, I guess, he can say whatever he wants about whomever he wants without fear of legal repercussions.
But, it would be a shame if something ... tawdry were
discoveredleaked, wouldn't it? -

Rolling Stone has been busted on several occasions for making this shit up.

Again, Bongino's podcast...FOX is not dead. They charge cable and satellite providers a hefty fee, maybe the highest in the industry, to carry FOX News. FOX' problem is demographics. They've been steadily losing the 25-40 demographic...Not that those guys are going to CNN, they're just not watching tv. But their base demographic (50+)is strong and not going anywhere.
Bongino is unique in his experience. He has a nationwide radio show, a top-15 podcast, until recently a show on FOX and he's run for political office (and lost. But the stories he can tell about the process!).
He talked about the bookshelf. The bookshelf (to those in the biz) are the podcasts that people subscribe to and actually listen to in any given week. The bookshelf normally contains as many as four or five podcasts, but rarely more.
Bongino said there are people who report news, people who make news and some who do both. Tucker does both. As such, people tuned in to watch Tucker, because his opinion was a little different or he might be doing something controversial. This makes Tucker an A-list news personality (Bongino said he (Bongino) was B-list). Unlike somebody like Chris Wallace or Sam Shepherd, Tucker will pull ears and eyeballs to his next venture. Tucker could easily start with a bookshelf podcast.
That makes Tucker potentially worth a lot of money. Especially as podcasts have screamingly low overhead.
If Crowder can command the money he's gotten, what is Tucker worth?
Again, more on the 4/25 podcast.

Seems to me like a lot of people are just posting stuff they've heard from somebody's mate down the pub and posting it as though it's true.

Listen to Beck, O'Reilly, Kelly and Bongino. All worked at FOX. Bongino was still there a couple of weeks ago. All have varying amounts of contacts.
I put a lot more credence in their remarks.

Werent all these people the top rated people at Fox News and all/most left under bad circumstances?
Fox News will slot someone in to Mr. Carlsons position and that person will have a built in audience waiting for him.
But @Jolly is correct. The watchers of "regular" TV are changing.
But for me, (and I admit I am looking at it from the way outside), the reach of podcasts is still WAY less than something like Fox News.
