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.

Is it possible this is just media companies tightening their belts? There are massive layoffs going on in various industries, and this would make more sense of the coincidental don lemon firing.

Not that its a smart move, but perhaps fox executives reason that the station existed before tucker and that they will persist after him, but with less expensive anchors.

They just wiped out $507 million from their stock price. If that was the plan, they fucked up.

 

[Antenna7]

Brave of you to assume normies have anything more than a facsimile of power which is evident by them continuing to vote for the Uniparty.

Well they have 0% power, if they don't know anything. So thats the idea.

 

[TitusOvid]

There's no comparison between Bill O'Reilly and Tucker Carlson. Bill was a slightly smarter Hannity while Tucker is especially based and smart.

It was too sudden for that. If they were cutting costs it would all be planned and scheduled. But Fox had run ads for Tucker's evening show only hours before he was gone.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

So controlled that Tucker got fired after the Dominion debacle. That doesn't even make sense.

Prove he was fired?

It's more likely he took heat for the j6 stuff

 

[Flan Handler]

I hope Tucker can see all the nice stories people are telling about him today, he seems like a genuinely good guy based on the many people who describe him reaching out when they were having trouble. I wish him well.

There is kind of an “under news” feel to recent events, and I stumbled across this rando who put it well:

If you can remember that the media basically invented transgenderism as a social issue in 2014, you are insane.

Every anti-woke "centrist" on social media thinks you are insane for being able to remember 2014.

Imagine believing you live in a serious reality, with real people.
Over the last decade, a new type of culture was created to destroy lunatics that can remember 2014. Last time this happened, they put everyone that could remember "the time before" in gothic palaces and tortured them.

This is what "cancel culture" looked like in 1870.
My feeling is that if they could, they would put us all in 19th century asylums and dig out our brains, but it appears something has changed. Perhaps their power is waning.

Firing Tucker Carlson because he kept reminding people about 1/6 and covid seems to be a stop-gap measure
Tucker reminding people of things that happened two years ago, even as a kind of outrage heatsink, was too much for the cryptocracy to bear. There is too much entropy in the system.

No one is taking to the metaverse, no one is buying VR headsets.
Mass man is rejecting the next layer of abstraction. People are remembering the time before. Some are even remembering unapproved "pseudo-histories" and "pseudo-archaeologies".

The audience forgave Fox for that because O'Reilly was fired over what seemed like a real workplace sex scandal. Tucker was obviously fired over political bullshit.

I'll get negrated to oblivion but I don't care, I honestly stopped taking him seriously after he peddled that dumb windmills freezing fake news during Texas' (5th?) blackout disaster, deep throating the throbbing lobby cock of some of the biggest globohomo neoliberal energy companies in existence. Environmentalist are obnoxious but that doesn't mean you have to deep throat some of the nastiest monopolistic companies that have bloods on their hooves.

It's not even about renewables vs. fossil fuels, these companies are greedy, they line their pockets while the infrastructure was hanging on a thread. Instead of upgrading their facilities to prevent this (2011, anyone?), they're busy getting rich and trying to rile up dumb normie idiots against something they don't understand. If they ran windfarms and solar instead, it'll be a rotting pile too and this is going to repeat. You bet they're not going to bother with cleaning bird poop off the panels and they'll buy the cheapest DIY wind turbine kit off wish.com. It's not about the form of energy, it's human incompetence. Too much power is consolidated in a single location.

He's a funny lolcow that makes liberals mad, that's about it.

It’s easier to just say Trump was set up for failure due to the pandemic.

Strange how you bring this up because over in leaftown I've noticed that a lot of people do bring up all of these crazy "job loss" statistics as if it's BECAUSE OF TRUMP that people weren't working, when really it was the whole world that wasn't working during the pandemic, hence causing a domino effect.

Almost like we forgot covid existed.

It was too sudden for that. If they were cutting costs it would all be planned and scheduled. But Fox had run ads for Tucker's evening show only hours before he was gone.

It may be the case that they kept the firing quiet until the last minute, so that he would go out in a blaze of glory, torching the station on his show. From what I'm reading its being suggested the murdochs knew they were going to fire him friday, using these allegations of misogyny as justification (not sure I buy that).

As for the 500 million in valuation, the stock moved 3 percent down by the end of the day, which is a decent move but not crazy. Similar with the BUD stock, people seem to not have a good grasp on what normal market volatility is. Big players would probably have to see sustained decline in viewership over time to start dumping their shares.

What I wonder is, these big salaries, like tucker's 10 mil a year, are a significant drain on cashflow. Your stock can go up and down all it wants ( and you can have a multi billion dollar market cap) but ultimately you have to pay your salaries, commercial leases, etc, and you cant pay those in stock. Execs across the board seem to have an anxiety about cashflow that they did not have in the low interest environment of the previous decade, encouraging them in some cases to massively cut payrolls. Perhaps the same reasoning is going on here

That said, I don't fully understand these economic things im just a schizo who has been reading too much financial news

I think theres a real honest debate about Fossil vs Renewables that needs to be had. How much waste does renewables produce? Whats the energy cost vs the energy output? Why isn't nuclear included in this debate? But the powers that be don't want that conversation.

Called some boomer family members to see how they are taking the news; very black pilled.
They are assuming the glowies leaned on Murdoch because Tucker made them look like assholes with the J6 footage. It's interesting watching Boomers realize the true size and scope of The Cathedral. Fox News has been fooling boomers into thinking there was opposition and it seems like this has shown some that Fox news is just as controlled as any other MSM outlet.

Never in American history has it taken more than 1 day to tabulate the Presidential Election. Except once. 2020.

Prior to 1900 you would've had to deliver vote counts by hand via horse courier, maybe some places had a telegraph you could use to wire information. Prior to 1960 you didn't have ballot marking devices and would've had to count each vote by hand. Given the advancement of technology and it's ability. Anything post 2012 would be the only elections that could've had tabulation done in 1 day. Besides you being completely disingenuous from this fact alone, West Virginia was the final state to certify it's vote for the election on December 7, 2020, nearly a month later.

Yall niggas talking about Tucker Carlson making Fox News go under with his impromptu departure takes me back to a time when Bill O'Reilly (alongside Sean Hannity if memory serves) was the face of Rupert Murdoch's media empire. They'll find another blowhard to put in that time slot, and he'll be equally effective with the next generation of right-leaning young'uns that'll come after you.

Whatever happened to the mantra of "the press are scum?"

the press are only scum if they don't say something that makes me clap. hypocrisy is an ugly look but it's in vogue for people on both sides.

Edit: December 7th, 2020 not 2023. Current year plus 9 is stuck on my mind

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".

That sounds the most plausible to me.

I'm now thinking this is going to push Carlson into the political sphere. I dont think he will run to be the GOP candidate, but I bet hes going to be deeply involvedd in the process. And jesus, imagine him being the press secretary for a 2nd term Trump WH? The salt from his snark would be magnificent. or hell, making him the border czar? People would lose their shit badly over that, maybe even worse than they did with Trumps election.

I want my salt dammit.

 

[duckbutter&toejamsandwich]

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

No revolution is won without outside financial help. The rise in more right wing political groups and pundits is because some billionaires are funding it. This may just be some of the elite disagreeing with the rest of globohomo and funding opposition or it might be globohomo setting up a new enemy. No real way to know right now, but I sincerely hope that people like Thiel are genuine.

I like Tucker, but he was raised in the swamp. He's friends with Hunter Biden (fucking who would be friends with a crackhead?), his dad is CIA, he worked with the CIA in the past, and he's parroted their taking points most of his life. I watch him and enjoy his show, but I talk everything he says with a grain of salt. If he promoted something hard on his show I always wondered what the elite could gain from it. He's done things like Jan 6th where it's actively hurt them. He may have genuinely had a change of heart. I hope he did, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

The audience forgave Fox for that because O'eilly was fired over what seemed like a real workplace sex scandal. Tucker was obviously fired over political bullshit.

O'Reilly was a giant blowhard. His constant screaming schtick was a huge turnoff to gen-x and millennials. The only people who liked him were asshole boomers who screamed at their kids. Tucker brought in a lot of the more desired middle age and younger demographic. The same demographic that can follow him online.

Scroll over to the 1 hour 30 minutes point and listen to what Ozzy Osbourne has to say. Good advice for Tucker, too.

That doesn't make sense though. He was literally the most popular mainstream news pundit in the world. If he is this grifter everyone says he is. Then why did he give up a prestigious job and reach to what? Attempt to post on youtube? Ban.

None of these arguments people are making, make any sense to me.

I don't think it's completely true, but it certainly makes complete sense and is a valid argument. The path to mass popularity is reshaping yourself into being that what people want. Trump did it by claiming he wanted to build a border wall. Biden did it by pretending he wasn't old and braindead. Hillary tried the same as Biden, but collapsing on 9/11 was very bad optics.
