quote:

Tucker Carlson caught on camera blasting Fox Nation before his firing.

“Nobody’s going to watch it on Fox Nation. Nobody watches Fox Nation because the site sucks.”

“I don’t want to be a slave to Fox Nation, which I don’t think that people watch anyway. I’m like a representative of the American media now, speaking to an exile in Romania and welcoming him back into the brotherhood of journalists.”

“It’s hard to use that site. I don’t know why they’re not fixing it. It’s driving me insane. And they’re like making like, Lifetime movies, but they don’t work on the infrastructure of the site. Like what? It’s crazy. And it drives me crazy because it’s like we’re doing all this extra work and no one can find it. It’s unbelievable actually.”

I don't know a single person who watches Fox Nation. And whatever Tucker content they had to dangle out there before, now they obviously don't have that anymore which I think will lead to it's demise even faster.

Fox made a grievous error with Tucker's firing and I'm enjoying watching them find their way out of it.

That’s interesting because I always thought the goofy segments where he had to tout that stuff and give snippets of those interviews on his nightly show to be the one part that just constantly seemed to fall totally flat on his broadcasts.

I'm boycotting Fox until they grow a brain and get Tucker back with back pay.

Supposedly he wasn’t fired, just had his show cancelled.

I think Murdoch is about to find out that Tucker is worth far more than his contract and that this is going to backfire. BIGLY.

Tucker will either come back with more control or will manage to get a release so he can work the 2024 election cycle elsewhere.

Is his stuff still available on Fox Nation? I tried to see and can’t even find where you can get a current lineup without subscribing, which I’m certainly not doing.

I watched every Lara Logan series (a total of maybe 15 episodes), the series on Yellowstone, and the interview with Kanye. That's in 23 months of having a subscription, which I canceled last week.

Tucker is not wrong. There was all sorts of Dreck which I wondered how it got greenlit. Half of the content seemed like it belonged on the 700 Club.

I subscribed for a few months last year to binge some Tucker Today and his other documentary series. Once I got my fill, I cancelled. I agree with Tucker. Navigating it and trying to find what you are looking for is terrible.

I wonder why this clip was leaked? If it was made to make him look bad, well that didn't work.

It proved ratings weren't the real mover for them but towing the line for state propaganda.

Yep.

Leaking a clip claiming someone is being disparaging doesn’t work if the criticism made is true.

If I made a statement about what Bud Light tastes like and the general consensus is aligned with mine, it doesn’t matter if it is disparaging in the court of public opinion.

Someone at Fox News is going through hundreds of hours of tape in the archive, pulling "between commercial footage" (off camera) and purposefully leaking it to the NYT in order to manufacture a ridiculous justification that loyal fans will hopefully accept. This DID NOT come from a deposition.

The more this drags out without a suitable explanation, the more it looks like they did it as a programming shift to the left. This smear campaign is about separating audience loyalty to prevent Fox from bleeding out when Tucker launches his own service. They just can't say it out loud. Bunch of disgusting scumbags.

So they're mad at him for yet another objectively true commentary? This is how they're gonna get him?

They have one less now - Tucker was the only show I watched on there regularly anyway.

We all know Hannity isn’t pulling them out of the mess.

Does anyone still watch that guy?

Are his shows still available there or have they pulled them?

Nobody will give me an answer to this.
