Tucker out at FoxNews

He's not that far from the truth. Ratings are dropping like a rock in that time slot.

He must have done something incredibly stupid to make fox cut lose so many viewers.
Well, he lost nearly a billion dollars a week ago, so maybe that had something to do with his thought process.

I think Rupert has lost a step ...
No, as was already pointed out, he lost close to a billion dollars American.
He lost a lot of that because he lost his #1 weekend show and his #1 primetime show.

You know, I still haven’t seen a single clip where Fox News treated the story as undeniably true. I saw them report the allegations, I saw them posit about what the allegations would mean if proven true, but I have not seen a single clip where they stated Dominion had cheated or altered ballots.

So why pay out all that money?

No, I was talking about the money he lost to Dominion.

What got them in legal trouble were two things -
(1) their marquee personalities piling on: Lou Dobbs principally but also Maria Bartiromo and to a lesser extent Tucker and Hannity, and
(2) them repeatedly platforming the crazy crew, Powell, Lindell, Giuliani and Wood, while simultaneously communicating internally that they were bat-shit crazy, publicity-seeking confabulators.

Because the internal communications and other areas open to discovery in the trial were problematic in other ways that they felt it was worthwhile to settle?

close to a billiona dollars in an out of court settlement.
I've read that insurance is picking up a significant portion of that.
If that’s the case just wait until Murdoch sees next year’s insurance premiums.

Oh God, I hope we don't insure them.
