A good summary of the problem with Carlson: he's not an extremist with horrible views, it's that he's a con man with no firm views. He's willing to say anything if it gets money and publicity, even if it gets people killed (and you could argue that his election lies did get people killed).
Watters has one of the highest rated shows iirc, and we know ratings is all that matters.
His very own Blaze TV, doing an Alex Jones impression.Anybody remember Glen Beck, and know what he’s up to? Me neither.
Correction, that would be a re-hiring for another gig.LOL Russian state media offering Tucker Goebbels a job. Not joking.
hahahaaaaaaaaaWho knew that costing your employer a billion dollars had consequences?
Isn't he still on radio too?His very own Blaze TV, doing an Alex Jones impression.
Much like his time at Fox, every single day is the end of the world. Stay tuned and he'll tell you how. Also, buy his !@#$.
My local MAGA are obsessed with Beck.
All day I have been watching the headlines and for every 1 headline about Lemons firing....there are at least 10 concerning Fuckers firing!!Difference being a douchebag and being a threat to the Democracy. Lemon firing is trivial.
It was not negotiated!! Why would Tucker on friday tell his audience he would see them on Monday??My money says Dominion settlement and associated lawsuits was at least 50% of this. The announcement reads like it was a “negotiated departure” between Tucker and Fox management.
Unfortunately, this won’t be the end for him. He’s built too much of an audience that would follow him anywhere, and grifters gotta keep grifting. Someone mentioned Rush—he’d be the natural choice to revive the EIB network brand and take over. He couldn’t possibly settle differences with Trump and join whatever fledgling mediafail of the week Don Junior is working on. In the meantime, there’ll be Substack and a podcast at least.
I get the feeling that Tucker may hold out on launching his own full fledged media brand until after 2024 shakes out. He could make mega bucks courting think tanks and candidates and maybe even nab himself a VP gig. I feel like him taking a personal interest in the upcoming election could also be a driving reason behind his departure.
That is why I say there mis no way in hell this was a negotiated departure!!Pretty telling they gave him no chance at a final show. Just done. No opportunity to go out like wanted and say what he wanted.
Cya, fuckface.
Clearly, Trump and Putin. DeSantis, McConnell, Hawley, Jordan, Cruz & Abbott for dessert.Praise the Lord! My prayers have been answered. Now, who do I pray away next?
My thought is that a few years of his making double digits millions in the employ of Fox News resulted in his being pretty cavalier concerning his clout. It seems to have backfired on him.Who knew that costing your employer a billion dollars had consequences?
That would be @Roger WilcoOP, please check the latest updates on Tuckers departure and update thread title if you see fit.
