I’m not convinced this is what got him the boot. Tucker has said much worse. This was tame in comparison to a lot of his other comments. It had to be something he said personally about Murdoch.

I'm sure there's a whole lot more to the story. Tucker's been flying high on his own supply for a long long time and I'm sure there's a lot worse he hubristically thought he could say and get away with.


Would falsifying the Jan 6 insurrection videos he had exclusive assess to in order to make the rioters look like peaceful protestors have been enough to get TC suddenly fired - after Fox lost the massive law suit?


Nice try. He and his producers didn't do that.



Tucker Carlson, with video provided by Speaker McCarthy, falsely depicts Jan. 6 riot as a peaceful gathering
Some Republicans are looking to the tapes for vindication. Others say it's a mistake for the party to look backward to Jan. 6, particularly after election deniers lost many 2022 races.

Carlson focused Monday’s segment on promoting former President Donald Trump’s narrative by showing video of his supporters walking calmly around the U.S. Capitol. He asserted that other media accounts lied about the attack, proclaiming that while there were some bad apples, most of the rioters were peaceful and calling them "sightseers," not "insurrectionists."


Explain how he "falsifyed" videos. Be specific.


DP... I wouldn't say he falsified videos but what he DID do is grotesquely misportray what happened on J6 by only showing cherrypicked footage of people milling around while EXCLUDING all of the violence that occurred.

Or maybe you'd like to explain how showing a few minutes of footage of someone standing around doing nothing 10 minutes after they assaulted a police officer is somehow supposed to negate the other footage from 10 minutes prior when they DID assault the police officer.

Even with Tucker misrepresenting the videos, the J6 tapes were a total dud. Had they been of interest to Fox audiences the other programs would have ran with them too. They didn’t. Bye bye Tucker. Enjoy being a Twitter troll.

Just wish there were some place to get straight news in an accurate manner.

Not sure it exists.

Tucker did caveat the videos with a statement that some bad stuff did go on--or something like that. But, it is puzzling that a lot of the video did show police opening doors. We'd already seen the violent stuff.

And, the commission and the president continuing to say policemen were killed was inaccurate and misleading. J6 was bad enough. They did not need to exaggerate the deaths. The only deaths were Trump supporters. Only one person was shot.

Orders came down from higherups at Fox News to avoid the videos.

Hmm...
I guess that leaves out a lot of the gullible elderly who can barely change their TV channel (I mean they've been parked at FOX for a decade.)


You don't think Newsmax is going to pick this up as well? Puleeze


It seems he’s Twitter exclusive. Where do you see Newsmax rebroadcasting this?


Tucker is still under contract to Fox. He can't appear on other networks.

He’s suing them for breach of contract.

Newsmax can show clips of Tucker’s show on their station. He can’t work directly for them.

I would have thought that most of Tucker's regular audience is not the Very Online segment of the GOP. I wonder if they will get online in order to watch him spew lies and hatred on Twitter, if he'll develop a new audience with the Very Online part of the party, or if he'll build a teeny tiny audience and fail miserably, humiliated and defeated.

He and Elon are teaming up and nothing good can come of that.

I agree. To see the contrast of police opening doors for the Shaman and showing him around, is contrary to the narrative that he was violent. Gave me pause.

That’s what you are told. It’s not true. Conservatives provide a huge online audience and huge talk radio audience. I’m sorry you’ve been lied to.

It’s a very small segment of the total audience but has problems with advertising. Companies do not want to be associated with right wing/conservatives ideology. It is bad for business.

But, he can appear on Twitter. Which he is doing.

A hybrid weapon of mass paranoid racist delusion?

Sure.
Ask Bud Light about their current audience. They would LOVE to have conservatives back.
