That's just in your head dude. They easily could have. 3 minutes ago, Moonbox said: Except he's back-tracked on a lot of those, telling everyone who asks after his texts emerged that "No! Me love Trump!" Fox News is obviously complicit, but the fact that Tucker Carlson's brand of batshit was so far beyond the rest of the network makes it clear he was pulling, rather than being pushed. His emails very specifically were fighting back against that. 3 minutes ago, Moonbox said: Gosh, wouldn't that be a coincidence? The lawsuit featuring Tucker Carlson gets settled, and then a few days later he's quietly shown the door... It started many many months ago .

Perspektiv Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 3 hours ago, ExFlyer said: TV host Tucker Carlson and Fox News have "agreed to part ways," Fox said in a statement Monday. Isn't that like saying "we mutually chose to end our marriage"? More like one quit or was fired, and the other was forced or pressured to accept it.

Thing is, after the 3/4 billion dollar settlement, who is next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Joe makes ten times as much as Tucker does at Fox. Ha HA HA , he is at the top of right wing BS. Thing is, he did not believe most of it himself, as he even admitted.

But behind the scenes, Carlson was clearly furious that his network continued to pursue the stolen-election narrative, according to text messages that Dominion submitted as evidence. I thought that the woketards here were claiming it was Tucker who made the comments that Fox was getting sued for... I'm not really following the story tbh, the Dominion machines story was a blip on the radar. The amount of disinformation about Dominion is less than 0.0001% of the disinformation about collusion...

Nope, a bunch of Fox talking heads were able to take blame for that. Of course you are not following the story anymore. You and most right wing clowns bailed as soon as Fox got nailed. Collusion?

bush_cheney2004 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 It's all just fun and games for cable news channel ratings until it begins to cost money, as in defamation, libel, slander, etc. lawsuits and legal costs. Those kind of hits are just not sustainable. CBS News learned the lesson with Dan Rather and his lies about George W. Bush's national guard record. "60 Minutes" was gutted for that little political escapade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aristides Posted April 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Legal beagles say a $787 million award from a jury would have been thrown out on appeal as being far too high. So FOX was willing to settle for hundreds of millions more just so Murdoch, Carlson and Co. wouldn't have to testify under oath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firing people featured in a lawsuit against you is very, very stinky, and the opposing lawyers would be all over that asking very reasonable questions about why Fox got rid of their most popular host while his personal communication was being used as evidence against them. 14 minutes ago, CdnFox said: His emails very specifically were fighting back against that. It started many many months ago . Found this for you as well https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/tucker-carlson-exit-fox-news-173000613.html A couple things: First, what Tucker Carlson believes and what he says live on television have always been very, very different things. While it's clearly true he didn't like shilling Trump's stolen election claims (and apparently hated him on a personal level), he certainly had no problem lying and promoting bullshit as the central part of his program, and telling people even after his texts about hating Trump became public that he "loves Trump". Second, Yahoo sports is evidently not the best place to get this sort of news, failing to mention that the LA Times reporter being referenced highlighted two reasons for the firing: 1) The harrassment/bullying/sexism lawsuit against him (as if that's unusual to FOX corp) 2) Rupert Murdoch was tired of his conspiracy theories, particularly his coverage about the January 6th riot.
