I hope @BreatheUT and many others on this forum have some family and friends checking in on them today. The creepy fanboy obsession with Tucker was cult-like and pathetic. The good news for them is they all got smarter today - it's addition by subtraction not having to watch Tucker since he has been knowingly lying to them for years. They also get an hour back of their day and I'm here to help, I recommend the Stanley Cup Playoffs which has the best postseason in all of sports.

... and I think we may have seen the last of Tucker Carlson. Cable news has been his career. He and Greta Van Susteren are the only people to have hosted a show on all 3 networks. It's not easy to see where he goes from here. Wherever it is, he will have a lower profile ... and that's a good thing.

Nah, he'll end up somewhere. Newsmax may be able to pick him up for a fire sale price. He still holds sway over the red hat army.

Maybe Tucker and Don Lemon can co-host.

Yep. The only way they let him go is if they essentially had to.

My first instinct was to say that Fox might be cooked, but this has happened before to them with Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck as another poster mentioned, and they just kept on cooking.

You've heard the expression "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." Fox made big money talking
nonsense to uneducated country folks with a conservative bent. But the Dominion revelations were no doubt deeply embarrassing to that scumbag
capitalist, Rupert Murdoch, not to mention the nearly $800 million settlement from effectively losing the case--and there are more lawsuits and settlements to come. Peddling the various conspiracy theories that MAGA like to embrace, along with scouring the nation for little examples of workeness, was one thing--but doing it with a presidential election result, pushing and affirming the gangster's outrageous and treasonous lies, lending credibility to his coup attempt, was too much even for the lowlife Murdoch, who's become a billionaire publishing cheap tabloid fare and right-wing twaddle. Dominion's determination to take its lawsuit all the way the was difference, even if that company caved in disgracefullly when it came to demanding that Fox issue a public retraction and apology for broadcasting information it knew to be false. When a network refuses to call a state for particular candidate--or questions the result, as happened with Arizona and Georgia--because it believes its cornball viewers will be angry at the news and question the network, you know the political right has jumped the shark. Of course that happened a long time ago.

No different than Cuomo and O’Reilly sharing

In general, I don't think Fox News tries to convert independents to the Republican side. It's affirmative political programming. Their goal is to galvanize already existing Republican Party support, not create it.

Their goal has been simply to make money, and they found a nice formula for doing that---pushing a lot of fatuous nonsense on people who need fatuous nonsense to reinforce their political views. Fox found a very nice market--rural Americans--for fatuous nonsense. Same market that televangelists have been mining for decades--and not much difference between the two.

Meh, I wouldn't equate Coumo and Lemon on the liberal shill scale, but I understand what you're saying.

Lemon and Carlson would be slightly less funny version of Jost and Che from SNL's weekend update.

Once you mentioned Don Lemon bowlbrothers was out. He could no longer support your message. 😂

Isn't the red hat army in a quandary? They love Trump and they love Tucker, but Tucker hates Trump. How do they reconcile that?

That doesn't make any sense.

Fox News has made it clear that they have an allegiance to the Republican Party. They have zero influence on the left side of the aisle ... and that is how they like it.

You are falling into the R vs D trap. Or Left vs Right trap. Like I said, when you see it you won’t be able to unsee it.

I'm sure he will turn up somewhere so he can continue to deceive the MAGA faithful.

You guys are dreaming. Tucker has a huge audience that completely distrusts Fox. He could set up his own streaming show. I am sure Newsmax would love to see if they can afford him - and considering whatever buyout they are going to have to pay him, he will not be hurting for cash. if they do get him, FN may lose something like 1/2 or more of their viewers for that hour.

This isn't a Greta VS situation or even a Bill O Riley - maybe like Glenn Beck but Tucker is bigger. Fox doesnt have the hold that it once did. There is too much competition. Someone with Tucker's following could easily put NewsMax or OAN on the map as a major player. Tucker's other programing TC Today and TC Originals is a huge opportunity as well.

Would not surprise me at all to see Tucker pick up equity in another news corp and overnight make it one of the top channels.

I think your bias is showing.

If you don't think that MSNBC has viewers just as rabid, gullible, and unthinking, not sure what to tell you.

They may have 1 for every 20 Fox zombies.

Everyone agrees and no one has ever denied that there are idiots on both sides. It used to be the fringe 3%. Fox (Trumpism) grew the right's idiot fringe to 20%.....and that was enough to at least temporarily gain control of the party.

Then why do Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity consistently get ratings which are similar to his ... though not quite as high? Those viewers aren't going anywhere. The same thing was said when Bill O'Reilly was canned.
