Tucker out at FoxNews
-
@George-K said in Tucker out at FoxNews:
Lots of theories about what happened.
- His coverage of Ray Epps (right after 60 Minutes did a story)
- Dominion liability (but others pushed it as well, and they're still there
- Supposedly (?) he's not a Trump fanboi and was pushed to support him.
Tucker was not named in the Dominion suit, IIRC.

You're right. None of the talking heads were. However, he was pointed to as one of the cheerleaders of the theory.

That was weak.
Obviously, you've mistaken me for somebody that stays up at night chewing over your pithy statements.
Nah.
I gave you a piece of my opinion.
Enjoy!

Fox Corporation erased $930 million in market value on Monday after announcing Tucker Carlson would depart Fox News.
The split came one week after the company settled a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems.
Tucker Carlson has consistently had one of the most-watched news shows on cable TV.
Fox Corporation stock fell as much as 5% on Monday and erased $930 million in market value after it was announced that Fox News Media parted ways with host Tucker Carlson.
Shares of the media company recovered slightly and were trading at $29.61, down almost 4% at 12:15 p.m. ET.

Maybe they’ll replace him with Dylan Mulvaney.

I think a lot of people would like to know about the Epps story.

If maintaining their audience requires validating maga feels, but validating maga feels requires making up defamatory bullshit, but making up defamatory bullshit costs you hundreds of millions of dollars, then they’re in a bit of a bind.

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.

There’s your journalism problem in a nutshell. Newscasters and pundits saying things even they don’t believe.

"Here, have a shit-ton of money. Now, lie like a bastard and pull stupid faces. If you can develop a disturbing squeaky laugh and dress up like a twat, there's another million in it for you!"

It's more possible that Tucker becomes president, than it is that Tucker becomes President on the back of Trump.

He could be Trump's second-term Monica Lewinsky!
After all, he's probably had worse things in his mouth.
