Daily Wire is about to write Tucker a blank check
You don’t write a blank check……that’s why it’s called “blank.” HST, I don’t know how many other news organizations would be bidding for Tucker, so I don’t see him getting anything approaching what he was making at Fox.

That was the last thing from FNC I would watch. No reason to tune in at all now.

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.
He called out Sydney Powell on his show.
And no one at fox "knew" they were lying.
They didn't believe them because it was so outlandish, but they didn't "know" anything.
Unless there is some evidence I'm missing.

You don’t need an antenna to get TD, baw. All the news you need is right here.

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.
I didn't watch much of the others, but my impression has always been that TC was the least bought into the "election steal." In fact, he was hated on this board by many for not championing that effort.
I agree with you that TC's involvement doesn't fit "libel" - especially given he wasn't reporting news. His was an opinion show.
It makes me think it's opinions that got him fired, and not Dominion. I would bet it's TC's positions on J6, Ukraine, his war with the rest of MSM, and the achingly weak state of the Republican party that got him fired. Dominion simply offered opportunistic timing.

Just hoping to add to the losses over there at Fox. No reason to even cursory stop by anymore. Still enjoy waters and gutfeld but it’s not enough..

Hunter Biden & Biden family have been having pressure from tuck recently. There’s def collusion between many parties and reasons. Also they cut his show the other day with Elder, which could’ve been it for tuck.

Don’t feel bad for Tucker. He’ll land on his feet somewhere with a big check. I think he has a podcast already. If not, he’ll start one and it’ll rival Joe Rogan’s.
Hannity had the second biggest radio show behind Rush for years, so he might take the plunge and leave to. Neither are hurting for money.

Tucker May decide the future is not AM radio but he would be so good at it.
How old are you? AM radio? He could do his own podcast. Do people still do AM radio?

It wasn't Elder it was Whitlock. He started going in about secession.

He knew it was awkward with him being there.

Fox tweeted a less than ideal image of Tucker about his firing. Wild stuff.

I agree with this. It's also proof that there is no voting our way out of this. The Republican Party is a joke and the media establishment will never allow a 3rd party any meaningful coverage or debate.

DW has a level of stability with subscribers that you can’t get from click based media. It takes longer to build but the staying power is strong. They are building the right way and investing all over the place.
