Tucker out at FoxNews

Remember when Glenn Beck was a big thing on Fox?
Maybe Tucker can join forces with him. I'm sure he's still broadcasting.

Beck owns the The Blaze. O'Reilly does podcasts, Youtube and Newsmax. Meghan Kelley does podcasts. Bongino owns a piece of Rumble.

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

There's enough talent on both sides of the political aisle to put together something interesting. What, I don't know.
An enhancement of an existing entity like Newsmax? Multiple videos for a platform like Rumble? A podcast channel for streaming and satellite radio?

If they can just get Rick Beato or Hikaru Nakamura to present it, I'm in!

The "Independent" claims Carlson was blindsided.
“Blindsided” Tucker Carlson was in the midst of negotiating a new contract with Fox News when he received a call from CEO Suzanne Scott on Monday morning telling him he had been fired from the right-wing network, according to a report.
Fox News announced that it had “parted ways” with its biggest star on Monday, days after settling a $787m defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over lies about the 2020 presidential election.
Insiders told Vanity Fair that Carlson was caught off guard by the news and had recently been negotiating his contract renewal through 2029.
The order for his firing is believed to have come directly from Rupert Murdoch.
On Monday night, his “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show was instantly replaced with “Fox News Tonight” hosted by Brian Kilmeade, who brushed over Carlson’s sudden departure.
“As you probably have heard, Fox News and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” he said.
“I wish Tucker the best. I’m great friends with Tucker and always will be. But right now, it’s time for ‘Fox News Tonight,’ so let’s get started.”
Carlson leaves behind a legacy of bringing far-right ideas and racism to mainstream audiences.
Before I take anything the "Independent" says seriously, I'll see what they say about racism at CNN and what they say about conspiracy theories at (left-wing) MSNBC.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

It's refreshing to see Americans resorting to British media sources to find out about what's going on in their own country. Obviously, I've been doing it for years!

If you want to read an actual conservative-leaning newspaper, then look at The Telegraph or The Times.
To quote Sir Humphrey Appleby:
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country;
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits. -

According to all reports, Tucker was blindsided. He was working with his producers, putting together that evening's show. He was told he was fired 10 minutes before FOX announced it publicly. Most are saying the decision came directly from the Old Man.
It's going to be interesting. FOX Nation is struggling, but Tucker was their main draw. I think you can fold the tent on that one and throw it on the trash pile with CNN's effort. Bill O'Reilly at his zenith pulled about 4M viewers. Tucker is #1, but he pulls about 3M. OTOH, cable news numbers are down overall.
I've already mentioned NewsMax, but if CNN is really serious about getting back to the middle, they ought to pull a Brink's truck up to Tucker's house. I'd offer him two things...1) the 8P slot on CNN for the Tucker Carlson Show and a return of a show like Firing Line, that Tucker would host.

That would be great. Rather than having a pair of idiots shouting at each other, or worse, amplifying each other, a real discussion.
Maher has been trying that lately, I get the feeling.

@Jolly All reports? Seems like some say he walked out because he couldn’t do a story.
Saw that. Seems like the latest is crystalizing around the decision by Murdoch.
To be honest, everybody is just guessing right now, but this won't stay hidden for long. Too big.
