+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.

My understanding is that Rupert only cares about the money, but Lachlan is a true believer. The other son, who doesn't run Fox, and his wife are liberals.

The other son lost out in a power struggle with Lachlan and left the family business. He’s not a liberal but he and his wife are heavily invested in climate change activism.

Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro and others slung lies and bogus conspiracy theories that were even more defamatory about Dominion. FOX needs to cut them loose as well.

Lou Dobbs was fired a while ago.

Tucker used to troll dcurbanmom so I'm fairly sure he will check this thread. Yes, he's that sad.

So what I wanted to say is, Tucker, I'm looking forward to hearing you pretend to be outraged about DC residency cheaters again, as that was main gig, pre-Trump )

Also looking forward to your inevitable divorce woes. I have popcorn.

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.

One theory is that Rupert watched the Sixty Minutes report last night on R@y Epp$ and saw another giant defamation case coming down the pike. Carlson has repeatedly been “reporting” things on his show that have been deemed false and doesn’t retract them. Ray is one. The “unarmed” January 6ers is another. He said the Russian propaganda that Ukrainian casualties outnumbered those of Russia seven to one as true. He also has praised Orban up and down without ever disclosing that his own father lobbies for Hungary.

Epps is another guy whose life got ruined by FOX News and right wing media. Just another example of some old coot who got sucked down the rabbit hole of right wing lies, only to have it all go to sh*t and to have his fellow right wingers turn on him and his family with death threats and harassment, because of whatever stupid new conspiracy theory du jour.

Um, I watch the 60 Minutes segment and cannot explain for the life of me why this Ray person is not in prison right now.

Can one of the really savvy people here explain this? Because I’m pretty sure we’ve sent plenty of people to prison over J6 charges that were way less inciteful than what he did.

Why isn’t he in prison?

Do you believe any of that?

Tucker is friends with the Biden son. Let that sink in. He isn't a hero of the right. He's a nihilist that gives people-- yes, on both sides, check his ratings among democrats-- the drug that they most desire, which is outrage. He doesn't report news. He trafficks in outrage, lies about his beliefs, and then hangs out with the Bidens.

That's the thing about these guys - they fear lawsuits taking their money more than they do the FBI.

Some conservatives want to do away with the NYT v Sullivan standard of actual malice because they think it makes defamation cases largely unwinnable. Conservative media is going to be up a creek without a paddle if it happens.

Color me shocked that Tucker engaged in racist and misogynistic behavior. I thought these behaviors were endorsed in the Fox News employee manual.

Lachlan is a nihilist, just like Peter Thiel.

Anyone who admires Tucker should listen to this tape of him talking about women and sex with underage girls. He’s worse than we imagined.

How does this change Carlson's personal exposure to lawsuits? Will he have to pay to defend himself now?

[Anonymous]

Isn’t it odd that he hasn’t said a peep? No tweet, no statement, nada.

He probably got some big contract bonus under condition of keeping quiet.

We should dedicate an entire thread to billionaire nihilists.
They’ll literally be the death of us.

I have an inside scoop. Tucker was going to speak about the lawsuit tonight on his show. Fox put the kebosh on it and he walked. The man never has to work again if he doesn’t want to, so his Fox gig was not really as important to him as it was to the left

lol. No one but Fox or Russia Today would put up with someone that immature. He burned the hand that fed him for a cool $787 million. What a child.

If this 'inside scoop' is true he'll need every penny to defend himself from future lawsuits.

The rain will come, but he'll have no umbrella.

This is the beginning.
