Carlson’s mistake was his honesty based on what everyone here is saying.

His honesty with his bosses seems to be a bit of a problem

So far Murdoch's News Corp has paid out more than a billion over phone hacking in the UK and cases are still going through the courts 12 years after the first case. Get ready for a long haul, $787.5 million is just the beginning.

It’s a strange move for a company to trash its cash cow. It’s about ego and control though. Fox sent a message that no one is beyond rebuke, if the top brass feels insulted or challenged by the help. In the end it’s Murdoch’s money. He can do as he likes with it.

But he didn’t claim the election was rigged. Identify the lie. I don’t think he’s some super moral guy, but I appreciate his courage in saying what many people think but are afraid to say. Most news is such cheerleading pablum.

Why are people thinking that? Do you really think Carlson and FOX had nothing to do with feeding that narrative in order to profit from it?

Carlson is ON RECORD for demanding a fact checker be fired for telling the truth about Trump's LIES

Tucker Carlson Tried to Get Fox News Reporter Fired for Fact-Checking Trump

Quote

The most distraught figure was Carlson. “Do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we’ve lost with our audience?” he texted his producer. “We’re playing with fire, for real … an alternative like Newsmax could be devastating to us.”

On November 9, he told Scott, “I’ve never seen a reaction like this, to any media company. Kills me to watch it.”

In the following days, Carlson and his colleagues began to fixate on the financial risk the network faced if a rival competitor such as Newsmax stole its audience by catering more directly to election-fraud claims they knew to be false.

In a group text, Sean Hannity wrote to Carlson and Laura Ingraham on November 12: “In one week and one debate they destroyed a brand that took 25 years to build and the damage is incalculable.” Carlson replied, “It’s vandalism.” Contemplating a potential rival conservative network, Hannity mused, “Serious $$ with serious distribution could be a real problem. Imho they need to address but wtf do I know.” Carlson replied, “That could happen.”

Later that night, Carlson pointed Hannity to a tweet by Fox reporter Jacqui Heinrich, which fact-checked a tweet by Trump that mentioned Dominion voting conspiracy theories. “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” she wrote.

“Please get her fired,” Carlson texted Hannity and Ingraham. “Seriously … What the f/ck? I’m actually shocked. It needs to stop immediately, like tonight. It’s measurably hurting the company. The stock price is down. Not a joke.”

I don’t lump people together and paint them with the same brush. I look at individuals and their unique histories and acts. Moreover, I don’t throw people out on the basis of a few things that they said or did unless they’re very serious, if I see value in other things that they’ve said or done.

Nope, he applied the rule that you don’t tear down your own colleagues, at least not publicly, which is what this “fact checker” attempted.

That does appear to be the case. And not really a serious attempt to get her fired either but more of a strong reaction to what she did, which was negatively impacting the company.

Other communcation shows that clearly Carlson knew that the claims were probably not true, but while he complained about sticking with it privately none of that made it to the public. And obviously he feels that's how it should be, don't air your dirty laundry in public.

The truth? Beave...you and your little group of twits wouldn't know truth if it bit you.

How these fcks got ahold of Carlson's PRIVATE text messages is something I would be interested in. His personal beliefs and opinions should not have been used or exposed. I don't know that Carlson ever said he likes Trump on air. Perhaps you can show me that one?

In the meantime...you dumb shits have taken the other glove off. Its time the Republicans buried the fcking Biden family once and for all.!

His texts were Subpoenaed because it’s evidence in a lawsuit, dummy, that’s how. I love how you now resort to the typical criminal’s complaint: you don’t even deny he did the deed, you just complain he shouldn’t have gotten busted for it.

Now you’re saying prove Carlson ever said he liked Trump Hilarious.

Republican gloves have been on this whole time? LMAO how much further can you extremists even go from here? I mean after your failed attempts to steal the election, attack the Capitol, kidnap governor, what’s left untried, nuclear terrorism?

I already quoted his on air comments. Your thinking is that he merely implied that it was rigged instead of outright saying so. But the implication was there nonetheless, when he had privately said he knew the election had not been rigged. He told his colleagues that Fox could not report the truth about the election fraud claims, because that would be bad for ratings. And that is why Fox paid Dominion $787 million.

So you can't show where Carlson said he likes Trump. OK.

I'll tell ya what. This two-tiered justice is going to blow up in your faces. When it does, you will howl like a banshee. But it'll be exactly what you are begging for.

A cash cow that cost them a billion dollars is no cash cow. Fox will find someone to replace him who doesn’t get them embroiled in one lawsuit after another.

I have a feeling FOX NEWS will suffer for their lack of support for their own people.

I also think this event only drives the wedge between conservative and liberal deeper and wider.

Where are Hunter's private texts? Joe Biden's? Dr. Jill's? Is this game gonna be played fairly?

Carlson was one of a few voices making important critical points about the war in Ukraine, the collusion between government and big pharma (CNN, brought to you by Pfizer), and the virtual one party system that’s sometimes called Democrat, sometimes Republican, and that consistently props up the military industrial complex.

Being anti-vax isn’t being anti-big pharma. Republicans are pro big phaem amd pro big corporation in general.

Being an unofficial a spokesperson for the Kremlin and cheering on Russia isn’t “making important critical points about the war in Ukraine”

He certainly never suggested anything about a “virtual one party system that’s sometimes called Democrat, sometimes Republican,” he’s a Republican mouthpiece

Ive never heard him complain about “the military industrial complex” like big pharma, Republicans love shilling for defence corporate welfare. Repeating the Kremlin’s anti-NATO propaganda is not standing yo to the military industrial complex

I think that most Republican voters are sick and tired of Donald Trump.

The Democrats are running Biden. How easily would Nikki Haley beat the pants off of him? And what policy differences are there? None! She just doesn’t bring all the trash talk and hate.

Tough.

Personally, I don't care if Trump is the next POTUS or not. I care about this two-tiered justice system. The sheer and wanton destruction of society, economy and security.

If DeSantis does not enter the race, Trump will be the republican candidate. He may be regardless.

’Clearly you haven’t listened to him. He’s very critical of the Republican Party. It doesn’t matter, you won’t listen. You just believe everything you watch on MSM. No critical thinking.

Tucker clearly stated "the 2020 election was not fair". And he blamed mail in and electronic voting without one iota of evidence viable enough to be substantiated in a court of law. Period.

Z don't expect too much from poor ol' Beave. He suffers greatly from TDS and is thus willing and able to lie constantly. His reputation doesn't matter. What matters is that his point of view be blasted all over the internet in endless tirades of hatred and panic.

You guys go on about the size of Tuckers audience. Do you honestly believe he and the other election fraud pedlars at FOX had no influence on how that audience thinks. Seriously? Seriously?

What bothers me is that alt-right extremists have found hunter guilty in the court of public opinion before any of the allegations against him have been proven. Y'all have even gone so far as to claim Donald lost the election because of unsubstantiated evidence on said laptop. Clearly, these alt-right advocates don't care whether the evidence has been substantiated or not. And that's an issue.
