If Tucker had such a problem with mainstream news outlets

Like he professes in his Twitter video, then why did he work for them for 30 years? Why did he only leave Fox after getting fired?

Seems awfully convenient he didn't have a problem with it until it stopped feeding him money and fame. Tucker, like all these news outlet hosts, doesn't care about the truth. They care about making money from mouth-breathing idiots. They will change whichever direction the wind blows so long as they stay relevant and rich.

Why are you triggered by Tucker getting a job?

I don't know about you, but $25 mil per year would have me working for someone even if I absolutely hated them.

Money talks.

When did that happen? He had all of that until the day him and Fox went separate ways.

Sure does, but then don't try to tell me that you are some sort of savior from big news because you got fired. It wasn't even his choice.

Did you ever watch his show on Fox? He spent a great deal of time railing on the MSM, saying pretty much the same shite he said yesterday.

Tucker is independently wealthy because of family money. His career requires him to work under a contract or not at all. He understood that bosses control their company policy, which for good or bad he did follow. That’s how he became disgruntled with the manipulation

He's a savior now?

Man, I wish I was this crazy in the head. Sounds like a fun ride.

Because he wasn't born in 2004 and thought social media was his ladder up?

You’re of the belief that nothing has changed over the last thirty years?

Your argument is specious.

The issue has nothing to do with him being paid a bunch of money for many years by Fox, whom he made hugely profitable.

The issue has to do with him being able to give his honest opinion about topics without fear of being censored by Fox, or by the merchants of cancel culture which includes the vast majority of other MSM news sites, which are all woke, ie, cultural marxists, ie. Inveterate liars and manipulators of truth, ie. evil.

Fox was owned and operated by the cadre of people as the other networks, BUT for some reason they chose to allow Tucker and others (but mainly Tucker) to speak truth. It made FOX very profitable.

But it got to be too much for Fox (progressive as they are) and they shitcanned Tucker because of it.

Tucker was born into immense wealth. He really doesn't need to work if he doesn't have to.

Isn't the issue many have with corporate media that it doesn't care about making money? Clearly, Fox didn't fire Tucker to make more money, and CNN (and others) aren't irrationally liberal and persistently inaccurate to make more money.

I don't understand how anyone can look at how cnn is run or what fox has been doing lately and think their only concern is "money".

If all they cared about was money they would not be a problem.

How would you let people know that 'big news' is corrupt unless you worked for them when you thought they were honest?
Don't you feel kinda stupid for this thread?

That's like asking a musician why they choose to work in such a sleazy underhanded dishonest backstabbing greedy drug infested industry.
