Probably at 9:01 p.m. on Friday night right after his last send off.

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.

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.

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?

But I think the leaked texts, so far, seem to be things he texted Fox News colleagues, which makes me infer that's the "net" they were captured in — not that they got access to his entire personal cell phone.

He was fired this morning, apparently.

+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.

Except maybe for Rupert, the Lachlans are liberals who don't want to be running a right-leaning news network. They would prefer it be like the other networks but with more tabloid stuff and hotter anchors.

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'.

No the market for Fox New would not get more viewers if broadcast on every network. Fox has all the viewers for Fox type programming. There is no demand for more of it and it is not a growing segment. This is why Fox so feared News Max. News Max could take 1/2 or more of Fox’s viewers but would not expand the total number of viewers.

Fox has monopolized this market segment and it does not matter who the talking head is as long as they stay on theme.

It sounded like he had one foot out the door when he sold his NW DC mansion and was recording remotely from Maine and Florida. He has probably made 100 million dollars since getting this prime time slot in 2016; Fox, book deals, and speaking circuit. He should pivot into afternoon radio / podcast. Nobody has really taken over the Rush 12pm-3pm slot.

If I were him, I'd just retire and enjoy my millions. Nothing will come close to the Fox News prime he had. It will all look small and hard-up for cash.

As much as I loathe Carlson and think he's bad for America, this is probably the trajectory.

With tears in their eyes, calling him "sir."

Interesting that people are reading this as anything else than Fox News shooting itself in the foot. Tucker is one of the only reasons people watch Fox News. There isn’t a cable news anchor out there who carries their network as much as Tucker carries Fox News. This would be like Sirius firing Howard Stern. It’s a loss for Fox News, not Tucker. Tucker will probably sign a record breaking deal at Sirius and have a similar, but bigger, platform than Megyn Kelly along with a podcast that generates millions for him as well. Rumble to Spotify are probably clamoring to sign him to big contracts as well.

I'm pretty sure Dominion was a loss for Fox.

Will losing Tucker hurt Fox? Yes. Would keeping Tucker hurt more? Yes.

No. You should have learned from Trump. He's a inveterate liar. We do not want liars in the White House.

Politicians are all liars. It must be nice being this naive. Tucker is way more grounded and self critical than most politicians.

I doubt Rumble or Spotify really want to be hit with defamation lawsuits the next time Tucker spews his conspiracies.

NO.

Remember, that was just 1 lawsuit. Several more are pending.
