BeaverFever Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 @West, @WestCanMan, @Infidel Dog Tucker Carlson leaves Fox News, network announces Tucker Carlson leaves Fox News Fox News has cut ties with Tucker Carlson, the conservative commentator whose show was often rated as the most-watched cable news program, according to a statement from the network. “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,” the network said, noting Carlson aired his final show last Friday. The company gave no reason for Carlson’s departure. Last week, Foxagreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5mn to settle its lawsuit alleging the network defamed it by repeatedly promoting Donald Trump’s baseless lies about the 2020 election..., https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2023/apr/24/biden-2024-election-debt-limit-trump-politics-live-updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaverFever Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Sometimes there’s little difference. He made his millions off his lies, I’m sure he left with a golden parachute too. Now he joins other disgraced Fox castoffs like sexual predators O’Reilly and Ailes. Better question is: who is the new cult leader? Given that each of them sees it as their mission to be more extreme than the last guy what’s next? Open calls for terrorist attacks? Calls for US rogue “patriot” military members to defect to Russia? Bomb the White House? Edited April 24, 2023 by BeaverFever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonbox Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 I imagine he was asked to resign, since the cost of his endless lying and bullshit-spinning was starting to get too high for Fox. He'll no doubt land somewhere deeper and darker in the conspiracy clown scene, but at least this is one less "Alex Jones" on network news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCanMan Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Lately Tucker has been getting all the big interviews with people like Trump, Musk, etc. He's definitely at the top of the cable news/interview business right now, I wonder if he wants to go the way of Joe Rogan. I imagine Joe makes ten times as much as Tucker does at Fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t wait to see him wheeling into court in a fake wheelchair pretending to be disabled man with no money the way Alex did. Maybe he can write his dear friend Hunter Biden and ask for yet another favour and borrow some money.

FYI Tucker Carlson is a paragon of virtue compared to anyone at MSNBC or CNN and I've never heard you say a disparaging word about Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, Brian Stelter, A. Cooper, Joy Reid, Joe Scarborough, etc. The number of lies that they told about Russian collusion between 2017 and 2019 dwarfs the total number of inaccuracies across all topics in the whole history of Fox News and it's not even close. You're just so sucked in by those hideous losers that you don't know which way is up anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkman Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 It’s interesting that Don Lemon gets fired on the same day. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna78349 ”The news comes after Variety published a story earlier this month on allegations that he mistreated his female colleagues over the course of his career there. And earlier this year, he faced backlash over widely criticized comments he made on-air.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCanMan Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Funny thing is that I can guarantee that none of the leftist saps in here has ever even watched a half hour of Tucker's show. CNN and MSNBC told you that all that's on Fox is lies so you never even went there to check it out. Then you all spent years saying "RUSSIAN COLLUSION!", "UKRAINIAN COLLUSION!", "M BROWN WAS A GENTLE GIANTS AND ALL COPS ARE RACIST!", "DEFUND POLICE!", MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS!", "TRUMP IS AN ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT!", "WALLS ARE RACIST!", "COVID KILLS KIDS!", "HCQ KILLS PEOPLE!", "THE VACCINE IS OUR ONLY HOPE!", "THE VACCINE PREVENTS INFECTION!", "IT'S A PANDEMIC OF THE UNVACCINATED!", "NO ONE WAS FORCED TO TAKE THE VAX!", "JAN 6TH WAS LIKE PEARL HARBOUR!" etc and you have no idea how foolish you all looked.

It takes some next-level lickspittle skills to see in black and white that the guy has been deliberately -and with full knowledge and intention- lying to you for years and then call him a paragon of virtue.

impartialobserver Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 This is one of those stories where there will be so much smoke that it is going to be nearly impossible to ever find out what started the fire. Yes, I know there are articles/opinions out there. However, I highly doubt that anyone on this forum was involved in the negotiations. If so, not sure what you are doing here.

AOC is so ridiculously stupid that it's like something from a B movie. She has no idea how anti-Democratic her screed is. Trudeau is the same. Buys off our MSM with $1.4B, courtesy of the taxpayers, then he tries to shut down Rebel news and gets his cops to rough up their reporters if they get close to him. Leftists are mostly fascist, they just don't know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...let's get this straight: It's more likely to you that Tucker got fired because AOC (one of Fox's favorite targets for ridicule) called for it, than the fact that 3 days before his last show Fox had to settle a defamation suit for $800M on account of his lies? That's the most logical explanation for you! Really?!? ? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not handle hearing all his lies (12 is my limit) for a half hour straight. LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most logical explanation for you! Really?!? ? LOL To be honest tho chances are neither are true exactly. If they were going to fire him "for lying" they would have done it before the trial even got underway and made him sign a disclosure. And it's just patently rediculous that AOC had any influence over fox. I think what he does next and what htey do next will probably tell more of the story. If he pops up immediately somewhere else, then he probably was the one who instigated the change. If he doesn't and fox tries to keep his show going in a similar format then for some reason they wanted him gone, but i would bet it's to do with the next lawsuit, not this one. Remember that "His Lies" were actually the networks, they knew, there were emails back and forth etc. So they're not doing it for that. And i doubt it's to 'regain credibility'. we'll see.

impartialobserver Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 years ago, i had a weekly ritual of going to the gym during the week from 730 to 9 or so. This was the only time that I ever "watched" his show. I learned after the first time to bring headphones and therefore be able to listen to something else. As for what I saw that one time... garden variety political garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
