re: FoxNews just kicked Tucker Carlson to the curb

This will pull even more boomers away from Fox news/ legacy media.. Which is a good thing.

He and Pat Buchanan were awesome on MSNBC back in the day.

Hard to feel too bad for him, if you allow someone to come on your show, lie consistently and slander people/businesses when you know they are lying you can’t complain when that comes back to bite you.

Can you provide some specifics on what you're referencing here? Lie consistently?

I'd love to know what some of the Rumble deals are.

It would be interesting to know. Bongino is one of the Rumble owners so it makes me wonder if they could afford Tucker. He would most likely expect a studio and staff, etc. My guess is he ends up on a subscription service of some type.

This has nothing to do with dominion, fox is just using it as a convenient excuse, otherwise Hannity would be the one going. Tucker has trashed all over the bullshite Ukraine war, then releasing footage of January 6th was enough to piss off establishment Republicans who control Fox News.

This is establishment republicans revolting.

In remarks to the Heritage Foundation on Friday, Fox News host Tucker Carlson spoke about telling the truth and mocked herd mentality.

Very interesting

I watched Tucker years ago but haven't followed him in a long time. Was one of the ones accusing Dominion of so much wrong doing along with Bongino? It's got to be lawsuit related for both to be let go within hours of the settlement. I don't know the merits of the case. I don't know why Fox folded but I could see Paul Ryan convincing them to take the deal to be rid of people that only made them money; not be a beacon of the message these asshats wanted preached. I suspect this is the only open window in which Ryan could even come close to yanking Tucker or Bongino. I think Fox decided to shuffle the deck and start over. I suppose I can only rely more heavily on getting my news from TD and Red State, Townhall and Powerman (J/K).

I’ve been wondering why more film hasn’t been released. Even with footage of empty rooms there had to be more interesting footage. Why cut it off there.

Murdoch not wanting the narrative go too far to exonerate the Trumpers. Was Tucker ready to leave because the brakes were applied. There had to be confirmational videos like the cell phone video of the cops telling the shaman and others the were ok as long as the didn’t damage anything.

This is it? That won Dominion $700MM?

Not just that. Ingraham, Hannity, and a bunch of Fox producers also had texts/emails proving they didn't believe Trump's stolen election claims while still promoting those claims on the air. Doesn't seem the textbook definition of libel to me, though certainly cynical and hypocritical. Fox just didn't want it in front of a jury, and didn't want Rupert Murdoch to have to testify in a trial.

Conservative voices at FOX had to go as soon as Musk bought Twitter. The ability to control the media narrative is all-consuming for the progressive powers that be. The Dominion settlement is the perfect red herring for the true intent to stifle conservative investigative voices at the biggest cable news network in the country. Will be interesting to see Musk's response to this.
