re: FoxNews just kicked Tucker Carlson to the curb

quote:

Chris Cuomo is on News Nation now. He interviewed Bill O'Reilly about Tuck's departure. Bill brought up a couple things I hadn't thought about:

1) Bill claims that this Grossberg woman secretly taped Tucker and his crew saying controversial stuff. She went to a lawyer and had the lawyer try to make Fox pay up. Fox refused, so she went ahead and filed suit. The suit is now public and Grossberg has tapes that could be released, so this might have played into them firing him now. (Grossberg herself was fired, but I am not sure if it was directly because of her blackmail attempt or not).

2) Ray Epps gave his interview on 60 Minutes and directly accused Tucker of "ruining his life." Bill believes CBS was setting this up for Epps to file a lawsuit against Fox. Fox wants to avoid this.

3) Tucks' ratings are huge, but his revenue isn't because no one will advertise during his time slot.

Yep, I noted that even before O'Reilly went on Cuomo's show (I watched it as well) and Bill still has lots of connections over there.

I watched Megyn Kelly's show and she had some views that this was an attempt to appease and maybe preempt some of these other lawsuits potentially coming down the pipe that O'Reilly mentioned

In summary, this was in the end a $$$$$$ decision. Megyn Kelly thinks this will hurt them but she thinks Fox has always been able to keep things rolling when Host leaves, like Bill and then her, they moved new hosts into slots and still did well. Lowery thinks they will work around it because he still says they are the best at producing TV Nightly news shows.

I think Tucker will do what Megyn Kelly did, Joe Rogan, Jason Whitlock, and create his own show where he does not have Management and sponsors over looking his show.

He will do fine.

He might be a federal asset or again he might not be. However, to make an allegation without evidence that he is in fact a federal asset is legally problematic.

How do you know he doesn't have evidence?

Is it really “defamatory” to falsely claim one is a “federal asset” versus being a rabid MAGA Trump supporter?

What’s that say, if so?

No, the funny thing is that recognizing Tucker's lies somehow does not compel me to accept the lies of the Left. In fact, it's not required for anyone to think "Everyone on my side is honest and everyone on the other side is a liar."

But, in any case, it certainly does not seem that Tucker was fired for his lying. The reports indicate that Fox fired him for texts that trashed other Fox employees and management, texts that came up in the Dominion case.
These were redacted for the public but Fox management had the full version. So, we don't know exactly what he said that got him fired, but it might come out if the Smartmatic case goes to trial and Tucker has to testify.

He’s still mad tucker pointed out Ukrainians were getting their arse kicked 7-1. GOP tiger can’t have his entertainment war stopped.

You still actually believe that? That's so sad that you really want to believe that lie so much that you convinced yourself of it.

If Tucker told you that the moon was made of green cheese, you'd believe it.

“We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights.”

“I truly can't wait. I hate him passionately.”

Another Tucker text:

quote:

“That’s the last four years. We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.”

He was the only real anti-war, free speech voice left who would somewhat go at the intel agencies,

Which is why he was fired

All you do is lie and post fake UK intel reports about Ukraine kicking arse

The lawsuits are how the Uniparty cancels someone at Tucker’s level.

They can’t just fire him. They have to discredit him. Enter “he’s a bigot” or whatever the frick the Murdoch / Ryan dream team is trying to dream up about a devoted family man of 4.

Paul Ryan did this. And he did so to have his milquetoast message be the message Fox sent. The dude is sofaking delusional he thinks he’s some kind of kingmaker, even tho he ran for VP and lost his home state.

It’s irrelevant who wins 2024, we just can’t be questioning the MIC or the FBI, or “good” Republicans, much less have Fox giving oxygen to “crazy” republicans. And we ESPECIALLY can’t have him shaming Noem, Hutchinson, Abbot or that senator from Indiana whose name escapes me when they go all Uniparty bullshite talking points.

Tucker has the platform right now to get actual powerful ppl on his show, and to actually ask them tough questions for which their newspeak word salad is not adequate to address. He literally speaks truth to power and even the powerful on what FOX thinks is their side.

Tucker was fired bc the Paul Ryans of the world wanted to kill the messenger, the undefended lawsuits are designed to defame him.

Tucker will no doubt be fine. If he makes a podcast I’ll listen or watch or whatever, but his firing is a real blow to people who share Tucker’s policies. I just don’t think he’ll have the stroke to book guests like Noem, etc and ask them actual challenging questions.

Telling the truth is officially a revolutionary act.
