Tucker out at Fox News????

[Anonymous]

Did Fox own the home studios he had in Maine and Florida? I'm chuckling imagining muscular men showed up last weekend to seize everything.

Tucker will start a Podcast and become bigger than Joe Rogan.

Some actuary is figuring out that they will lose money on Tucker, so time to let him go. Hope his comments about hating trump prevent him from finding a place at oan or newsmax. Maybe they don’t want him around for the upcoming smartmatic suit.

Tucker Carlson - epitome of one of my favorite German words “Backpfeifengesicht” - face that badly wants a punch.

I see your backpfeifengesicht, and I raise you: une tete a claques!

I mean, this is really it. Not only does he not believe it, he is stupid enough to say so in discoverable communications. Gotta wonder if there is even worse in the privileged stuff.

+1 And keep in mind that there was a ton of stuff that Fox redacted so we didn’t see it. Could easily be Tucker lambasting Rupert, Lachlan, etc. etc.

The thing is, Carlson knows that his true followers don't listen or read real news. They probably don't even know about this lawsuit or that Fox had to settle. They will just follow Carlson to whatever dirge picks him up, and just carry on like nothing happened.

Right wing talk heads like their followers ignorant. Like any cult leader, that's how they retain their power and make money.

What was the scope of the discovery? They got access to all of Tucker's sent and received personal cell phone texts from X date to Y date or was he texting work colleagues who were using Fox News-issued devices and THAT'S how his texts were discovered? I find it hard to believe he gave up his personal iPhone.

Ha ha ha: Murdoch wrote in an email on Biden’s Inauguration Day. “Trump insisting on the election being stolen and convincing 25 percent of Americans was a huge disservice to the country. Pretty much a crime. Inevitable it blew up Jan. 6th. Best we don’t mention his name unless essential and certainly don’t support him. We have to respect people of principle and if it comes to the Senate, don’t take sides. I know he is being over-demonized, but he brought it on himself.”

If it's subpeonaed, he doesn't have a choice, right? I always assume that if I were up to no good at work, they would come looking in my personal items too. Just have to convince a judge that there's likely something there, right?

Tuck lost his snarky zest years ago anyways. He's been mailing it in, rolling into his home studio at 7:30pm to lazily read a script a handful of dorks prepared. He's a rich and lazy empty-nester who'd rather be fishing and hunting birds. You know, like the idle rich WASP that he is.

And, yet he is and will continue to be far more successful than keyboard warriors like yourself.

If you consider being sued for sexual harrassment "success", then you can have it.

How much is she asking for? Lol

He’s successful at scamming his audience. Fortunately, most people don’t aspire to be a liar who dupes people for profit.

Seems like a zero-sum game, and a really dumb business model. I hope the rest of conservative media learns from this.

No Fox makes the money by having 98% of all “conservatives” watching the Fox. Fox has cornered the conservative marked for this type of stuff and it is not that big of a market segment. If it was bigger there would be another Fox. There is no other place for conservatives to go. Fox has like 3-4 million viewers vs network and other cable news with 26-28 million.

If Fox News were running on Fox Broadcast, there numbers would be much bigger. By your logic, MSNBC and CNN are worthless compared to the overall viewership of 'network and other cable news'.
