More and more it’s sounding like this was about the Epps story.

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

Edit: never mind. I did my own googling.

You gotta feel sorry for Fox execs. 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.

Well, Bongino made money today.

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.

Poor Tucker Carlson, deciding to lie like that?

"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!"

Oh, I think Tucker will do quite well.

POTUS, maybe?

….and he really wanted to be a journalist when he grew up. Sad.

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.

This is the Tucker Carlson thread. If you want to talk about things that "News" hosts have had in their mouths, please take your comment to the thread where it belongs.

The Don Lemon thread.

Thank you.

So who hosted his slot tonight?

Fox News Tonight

Well, Schumer got his way...

[taiwan_girl]

I have never seen his show, and I am sure that things will come out in the future as to why he was fired/quit.

But, it is not uncommon for celebrities to think that they have more power than they truly do.

Yes, he was quite popular, etc. But wasn't the guy he replaced the equivalent? Now, where is he?

My prediction is that Mr. Tucker will start a podcast, it will be minority popular and make him good amount of money, but he won't be talked about very much.

Meanwhile Fox News will find someone to take his place, etc.

Whenever someone tries to tell me that they are (or someone) is irreplaceable, I laugh and point them to the President of the US. The most powerful person in the world, and the job opens up every four years.

Of course he will; a cork floats.

[Doctor Phibes]

Remember when Glenn Beck was a big thing on Fox?

Maybe Tucker can join forces with him. I'm sure he's still broadcasting.
