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.

I see that his audience is ready and eager to boycott Fox News or something, despite the fact that I suspect the orders came from the network's own higher-ups to run with the election fraud shit once their numbers started dipping to Newsmax and OAN.

The way most retarded rags are reporting it, they suggest that Carlson was an originator of the fraud shit and the network is cutting him now that the Kraken's dirty laundry has been laid bare for everyone literate to read through. But I have a hunch that he was, in reality, just a fall guy for the network's alignment strategy, and the execs wanted to cut what they saw as a diva that openly didn't like them in exchange for keeping the trumper audience -and- having an avenue back into the "good graces" once the kraken emerged from the silhouetted depths as a time-traveler. Similar boycotts of Fox were threatened when O'Reily was terminated, and those worked about as well as the Nike one.

If Carlson continues the song and dance about election fraud, then I guess he wasn't a fall guy and maybe the hack fraud outlets were actually right in their analysis that he was a fountainhead. But seeing as how they're hack frauds for a reason, I would be greatly entertained if Carlson starts on the war path with the electoral fraud grifters, spills beans about having been ordered by the execs to push it, and the folks boycotting Fox now also have to boycott their erstwhile man-crush... to then flounder about in increasingly hilarious ways to invent new reasons not to read what the various discoveries turned up. Let's get an early start on 2024 and get this over with, really.

Is Tucker getting canned due to costs or due to him helping propagate the election rigging line that got them sued?

Honestly, Tucker really doesn’t need them. I would love to see him on an Internet show not so muzzled, but still bringing an heir of professionalism and gravitas to the right wing grift space.
or, he ends up like the rest of them, and they just end up yelling pedophile at each other on a Discord call.

I don't think It was the dominion thing, I'm leaning more towards the Russia coverage.

However, facts on the ground just now are that Tucker was the spearhead in a sustained campaign on the most watched cable show in the country, night after night telling lurid conspiracy theories, to the point that people were showing up at counts with guns drawn.

Do you have any evidence of that?

And it's impossible for FOX to win a suit against Dominion when Dominion controls all the electoral evidence. So you simply have to settle.

Tucker is probably the fall guy for the nearly $800 million settlement. That combined with the pressure due to the 1/6 expose and various other boycott calls is what did it.

Dominion is the company that operated the voting machines for the 2020 presidential election. Fox News has been accusing them of rigging the voting machines for the longest now, and they got sued by them for it. They ultimately settled the lawsuit for $787.5 million.

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.

There is plenty of proof it is just against the narrative to do so. Here is how a watered down version of the trial would go if they got a liberal judge.
"We have evidence of our claims that our conclusions we came to regardless of whether or not they are wrong were reasonable to come to. Here are the arrest records of people who were arrested for election fraud in 2020. Here are our experts in statistical analysis showing the mathematical problems of the Arizona vote counts. Here is the follow up audit by Cyberninjas showing over 10,000 inadmissible or duplicate ballots."
""Mr. Fox News Laywer! This case is not about whether or not all these things actually happened or not. Only on whether or not you alleged them. Because election interference has not been either commonly accepted or in a court of law, all this evidence is irrelevent and I will sustain Dominion's lawyers' objection to having it kept out of evidence."

We live in Anarcho-tyranny, where the negative parts of law only applies to those the hegemony hates.

Tucker, Neil Oliver and many others are all plants.

Tucker getting 'fired' is probably his way of keeping fame while turning down the glow while he joins fellow plants

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

What's the echo chamber? You mean the fact that people go to a portion of the forum where they can talk among generally likeminded people about a subject, and coincidentally most of them happen to agree about it? Hmm I wonder why that is exactly, certainly couldn't be that anybody with a functioning fucking brain would look at half the shit that gets passed for news or the current political state of just the US alone and think "Wow, this fucking sucks. Let's reinforce how much it sucks so we can keep aware of it!"

Yup that's an echo chamber bro, you got us.

You sure are mad about internet posts. lol calm down mein furher.

Was that even that bad? The Russia coverage that is. AFAIK, he was pretty milquetost about the whole thing. He just reported on the conflict with a "Why should we bother" type pro-Russia slant.

I think if anything, it was definitely the Dominion thing. Those leaks were massively embarrassing for the Murdoch Empire and we still haven't seen the full ramifications of that. I think there was probably a meeting with Fox executives, who tried to tardwrangle Tucker a little. And he pushed back. Dared them to fire him, so they did.

But Tucker on air was saying guests the other hosts were having on their shows saying the dominion machines were hacked didn't have any evidence.

I could be wrong, but I think people have taken e-mails of Tucker behind the scenes saying it is "bullshit." Then just assuming he was on air saying otherwise. With out knowing or caring if that happened. As we don't live in a fact based discussion any more. Just stories.

I've time marked this to the relevant bit.clip of Tucker.

The problem is with those articles describing the FOX texts are written like this: Tucker said the claims were "bullshit".

Why not just post the texts in their entirety in screenshots? What have they got to hide?

At least the aliens won’t sue.

I don't think It was the dominion thing, I'm leaning more towards the Russia coverage.

It was the Jan 6 business. The Federal Courts were forced to released several people related to that as a direct consequence of Tuckers show. It completely blew the narrative out of the water and if they had tried to fight the criminal appeals that were immediately filed in the wake of Tuckers expose of the capital security footage the prosecutorial line would have lost. Badly.

The videos were mitigating evidence that the State held and didn't even admit to having. Let alone refuse to give to defense counsel. They were released as a consequence of a change in leadership of the house of representatives. The Governments decision to withold this evidence was a clear violation of the Landmark US Supreme Court Rulings Betts v. Brady, which held that the State being the Prosecutor cannot withhold evidence that may aid in the defense of a defendant the State brings on charges.

Betts v. Brady is an equivalent ruling to Brown v. Board and Gideon v. Wainwright. There is no way in hell any lower court judge would dare go against it. It was an automatic appeal to the US Supreme Court which would have almost certainly been forced to slap down the January 6 convictions. Hard. That is a legal narrative the powers that be could never tolerate. So the MAGA Shaman and his frens were quietly released in the wake of Tuckers show while official Washington bitched hard about how damaging this was to our democracy "registered trademark, all rights reserved".

Tuckers days were numbered after that. They'll blame the voting machine lawsuit for it, but the real issue was Tucker broke the story on how the US Government violated due process under the 14th Amendment and the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure established by the Supreme Court of the United States in Betts v. Brady, to put people in prison after the January 6 "insurrection".

Honestly, one of the best things to happen to Tucker if he plays his cards right (which I doubt). Fox (and all of legacy news media) is a sinking ship and leaving it before it fully sinks will probably be best. Tucker's best bet is to go independent and not go to NewsMax or some other shitty Fox clone

 

[WickyWickyWoW]

I dont think tucker of being anything as elaborate of a plant or having a deeper secret agenda, I think he was a grifter who knew the gist of what to say and had a crack writing team. Seeing an episode where he randomly brought up some UFO sighting (certainly either a hoax, lockheed-martin taking their new hotrod out for a spin, or a chinese/russian spy plane) and tried to imply there is no reasonable explanation for this as if he were the guy from the x-files sold me on that idea , you could practically see Rupert Murdoch's hand up his ass. If you ask me I think he was just an experiment to push in the new populistic direction that proved a wild success, IIRC during the pandemic at a certain point he rose to the most viewed new commentator, I couldnt be assed then or now to figure out of that was still the case leading up to this text leak fiasco so someone correct me if im wrong if im assuming he stayed in the top 3 most popular talking heads.

However ignoring carlson being a grifter or genuine, the fact is he rose to the top in what felt like a short period of time is telling, that those ideas he was spouting had a large amount of the population agreeing with him. With recently populistic and other associated rightist parties in europe becoming unexpectedly more powerful it would seem that the newer rightist ideas are coming to prominence in society.

But something I thought in the past is he gets fired/leaves fox and starts his own show everything Im saying would be brought into question and we would figure out if tucker was grifter or genuine, since he is a well known name most of his audience excluding the geriatrics would probably tune in on whatever platform he uses. Its likely though he will try to go to the smaller right wing news stations (OAN/Newsmax) and continue business as usual

Also I heard one of tuckers writers was a farmer which is why tucker covered chris chan after the arrest for being put in a womens prison, not sure if it was true or not

 

[Random Internet Person]

We now have some more clarity regarding why Tucker Carlson was fired. A jewish woman, Abby Grossberg, who herself was subpoenaed by Smartmatic over "election fraud claims" turned the tables on Tucker Carlson, his Executive producer Justin Wells (and at least some others in Tucker's team) and sued THEM over "anti-semitsm" and "sexism." From "bad election denier nazi" to "victim superstar" over night. You can't make it up.

Tucker is going to be more successful than O'Reilly post-Fox. O'Reilly was 15 years older than Carlson and Tucker's more popular with the MAGA people than O'Reilly was with anyone Carlson also has no principles and will become whatever he has to be to get an audience

Tucker Carlson is an expert at transforming himself into whatever conservatives want to pay him to be. His politics were totally different before Trump became the frontrunner in the GOP primary. I think he shifted his "beliefs" entirely because he saw the audience was there

I don't think Tucker Carlson the man or his personal beliefs are anything terribly special, though - a million nobodies already say the same things he said on his show.

His value was the large audience reach he had through Fox.

 

[Johnny Salami]

This is interesting because someone like Ben Shapiro has his own media outlet. But does he have enough money to bring in someone like Tucker? I'd assume Tucker will be commanding top dollar if he's going to work for someone else again.

On the other hand, if he tries to do his own thing, what platform? He obviously can't go to twitch or YouTube because he'll be struck off in minutes. If he tries to make his own site he'll be attacked (technologically) to hell and back.
