You’re misremembering things. Happens to the best of us. Not that you’re the best. You’re almost certainly not.

Tucker was not a major peddler of election conspiracy theories. He refused to give Sidney a platform.

He did cover actual election issues. I’m sure that created issues for him. And I’m sure you can’t distinguish between the two.

Tucker replaced O’Reilly. Unless they replace him with another firebrand that continues to buck back against the establishment, that channel is toast.

He, like O’Reilly, was responsible for their huge numbers. They go RINO and they will join CNN in the shitbin

How can anyone else possibly garner similar trust?

Any viewer with any ability at discernment at all will realize they will no longer be getting anything but the "company line" there, or else that host would be toast as well.

Yeah he said the “software shite was absurd” …in private

He was less committal on air, of course, much like he was discrete about his hatred for Trump.

Fox will have to find another punchable face to lie to people now, shouldn’t be too hard

I wonder if Fox has a noncompete clause that bars Tucker from similar employment for at least 18 months; thus, eliminating information about the WHO health treaty, election coverage and Ukraine escalation.

Finally, I hope he takes some time and comes back better and on a watchable platform.

Tucker was the only thing I watched on Fox after the 2020 election. I stopped watching Fox including Tucker after Jan. 6.

I think Dominion has gone on record saying Carlson's firing is not related to the $787 million dollar settlement. I think I saw on Forbes or WSJ (Go back and check) that there is a sexual harassment and ethnic/religious bias lawsuit by Abby Grossberg.

This sexual harassment, which got O'Reilly fired and Gretchen Carlson a settlement, and in the case of Abby Grossberg also anti Jewish allegations seems to more of what got him fired.

Don Lemon in essence got fired for sexual harassment type issues as well. The Final straw was when he said sitting between 2 Female colleagues that Nikki Haley is over the Hill as once women reach 30 they are over the Hill or something to that effect.

True to a point, and I like Tucker but privately he said that there is no evidence based on all people that he has talked to (one assumes he trusted) that the Dominion voting systems were hacked and changed votes.

My view, had he had the likes of Lindell on or whoever and said there are claims being made about Dominion machines helping Biden, etc, based on my investigation I have not seen any evidence, then ask Mr. Lindell what evidence that you have.

There are more people living on my block than Don Lemon had nightly viewers.

I find it hard to believe someone garnering an audience the size of Tucker's can be instantly cast aside over some flimsy "harassment allegations" that nobody can even begin to articulate.

True, but that is what a Dominion spokesman has said. He might be lying. Alternatively, he could have said we have not comment on the case, the $787 million settlement speaks for itself.

Had Tucker not gotten so arrogant and just put a few modifiers in front of everything, Some people claim that Dominion machines were hacked (i.e. Powell, Mike Lindell, Trump himself) when he was on air, he would have not had a problem.

Well think of it this way, long term Fox has Shareholders and decided now was the time to cut him lose, they cut O'Reilly lose when he was there #1 host, they did it again.

I dunno but I am more concerned about Tuck being put under an NDA. Often these high-profile jobs make you sign one when you leave. If true, we will never hear Tuck's side of the story. Unless, of course, he told them to pound sand and refused to sign one (which would mean he'd lose whatever severance he had coming).

Again, why is a tabulator machine commenting on this or anything related to the matter? They have zero reason to do so.
