re: FoxNews just kicked Tucker Carlson to the curb

It’s sounds like bongino wanted more than they were willing to pay. Tucker, however, buttered their bread and had a young audience.

According to Erick Erickson leadership at fox has been weak since Ailes left and Tucker and his staff have largely been ignoring leadership.

That coupled with the lawsuit lead to the split.

No fricking thanks.

Daily Wire is about 2 years from being everything we dislike about Fox News

quote:

After the way he treated Dave Landau, Crowder now seems like a gigantic a-hole.

What happened? I’ve been wondering why Dave isn’t on anymore. They seemed to have good chemistry and I know they were touring together

Fox was in goner mode the past few months and they'll be making more of a turn to the left. So long Fox.

Well, Tucker couldn't work at Fox and be Trump's running mate, now could he?

Wait till nobody watches tonight.

Who owns Fox News?

Well, it would appear that Barry Soetoro, and his Gub'ment does.

Will Hannity survive the lyncing, or is he so irrelevant that he'll be left alone ?
