NEW YORK — April 24, 2023 — FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.

Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.

FOX News Media operates the FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOX News Digital, FOX News Audio, FOX News Books, the direct-to-consumer streaming services FOX Nation and FOX News International and the free ad-supported television service FOX Weather. Currently the number one network in all of cable, FNC has also been the most watched television news channel for more than 21 consecutive years, while FBN ranks among the top business channels on cable. Owned by Fox Corporation, FOX News Media reaches nearly 200 million people each month.

Kind of related. Don Lemon to leave CNN.

Bros, what if Carlson and Lemon host a show together?

Call it lemon party TV.

The ideal scenario is that he goes to work for the Daily Wire until 2028 where he can join DeSantis to create the Trans Genocide Dream Team.

Honestly, yeah, if Daily Wire has enough money, getting Tucker would be a HUGE investment that would increase their audience dramatically.

But I shudder to think of him actually running for president. As mentioned earlier, he has the worst foreign policy perspective of anyone out there, actually advocating for isolationism, which is a fantasy notion. He also is a Luddite and thinks that technology that potentially puts people out of a job (like when cars put horse carriage drivers out of business) shouldn't be done at all.

Now it’s time for a real host to take his place: Ethan Ralph!

Can’t abort the retort!

 

[Anti Snigger]

The greatest tragedy of all this is Ralph losing 95% of his content

 

[Flake452]

I hope he doesn't go work for some Jewish run organisation like Dailywire.

 

[Angry Shoes]

Gonna have to check on my relatives over the age of 60 to make sure they’re okay today

 

[Got Milk!]

Well he did just have a cordial interview with this pretty wealth guy, Elon Musk, maybe you have heard of him … that is the dream… imagine the absolute SEETHE if Elon spearheaded a news outlet with Tucker Carlson.

You know how many $8/month check marks he would sell for a Twitter blue check only Tucker Carlson show nightly? And good luck taking down Twitter during his broadcast.

E: I just looked and Tucker averages about 3.5M viewers a night. If even 1m signed up that's $8M/month. Tucker makes $35M/yr right now. If Elon paid him 3.5M/month that'd be a $7M/yr raise and Elon would make a decent amount too.

He started sounding like Russia Today so I just ignore him at this point

Irreparable damage done to the right wing IMO. And for what.

 

[Neil McCauley]

He'd have to seriously change his content or make it to where he's a third party in his own company. The reason why Trump never made his own network is because whatever is being said on there you can be held liable for. OAN learned that the hard way.

What happened with OAN?

 

[Bored & Confused]

Man, my nana is going to be pissed. She loves Tucker.

 

[Some Dumb Faggot]

Honestly IMHO a good thing fuck cable news the faster they all die the better.

 

[The Last Stand]

Was Tucker fired, though, or did he leave on his own accord? Did he contribute to blasting Dominion, or just didn't like the outcome?

This is a developing story. Keep your ear on the street.

Tucker himself almost certainly has "fuck you" money and could easily get a massive following by started his own unaffiliated program somewhere on the Internet.

Contrary to public belief, I have hoped that Tucker would leave Fox News and go independent. Fox News is no better than CNN/MSNBC.

Tucker's schtick is he simply points out the obvious, but in an entertaining way. I liked watching his show and wonder where he'll end up.

Other than Tucker Carlson Fox News is just neocon garbage, I hope they fold.

I never understood the appeal of him. Apart from his facial expressions.

The thing is, as much as I want to believe that this election was rigged, I have to provide proof. I can’t just go by conjecture. It’s easier to just say Trump was set up for failure due to the pandemic.

The reality is Trump lost good chunk of the suburban white woman vote in 2020. And yes, women are vapid and will vote purely on someone's mannerisms and personality rather than policy; but they still have to be bartered and persuaded since they're a very crucial element of winning specific districts.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Fox bravely nukes their own stock and audience ratings to try and keep themselves "reputable". Absolute laugh.

Tucker can just do his own thing and even if only half of his viewers follow him to a Substack/Rumble deal he already has a made winner.

 

[TheDarknessGrows]

I knew he wasn't going to stick around after FOX cucked out. He probably was going to scorch them on-air and unsurprisingly, they cucked out.

 

[Badungus Kabungus]

Maybe Carlson can leverage his personal relationship with the Bidens and become the new White House Press Secretary. May have to put on high heels and a dress or something.

 

[draggs]

I think this has more to do with Rupert's scummy shitlib children and Tuck's refusal to be cucked by them than it does muh Dominion. Rumor is Tuck has been clashing with Fox News corporate management on just about everything for some time

 

[Norbert the Tiger]

As others have stated, the Dominion lawsuit seems to be the biggest factor. There are others, including Tucker not feeding into the Ukraine mindhive.

Devon Stack has convinced me this guy is a brake pad, but he is still useful as a gateway into a more enlightened worldview and Politik. That stated, as others have pointed out, Tucker was carrying Fox news. Perhaps a better strategy would not have been to settle with Dominion and fight the good fight. Now fox news loses the settlement money and the one guy who was drawing real numbers.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

If you want to know who controls you, find out who you cannot (or are not allowed by the gubmint to) criticize.

One guess who

Rupert's scummy shitlib children

 

[Articles and Nudes]

Well I'll be damned. Figured he was bullet proof. Wonder what the final straw was, or if Fox had their arse laid over a barrel.
