I agree. About time that hyper-biased, woman-hating, arrogant sexual harasser got fired.Quote:

But when you settle lawsuits like a chickenshit you are putting a big sign on your back that says SUE ME! They all come running to sue your ass.
Tucker will make much more money in the digital world than he ever made at Fox News. His fan base will go with him. And Fox News is going to be sued out the ass for years to come.
Unbelievably stupid decisions by the Murdoch's.
Nope, deplatforming works. Not one person in the MSM is allowed to be anti war.Quote:

4. Tucker would be the best person for President but doubt he is willing.
5. Fox has already hitched their wagon to DeSantis, though they are probably ready to trade him for Trump.
6. See #3 again, it is the most significant.
Isn’t big media essentially Bed Bath& Beyond eventually? Like their stock price is what it was 10 years ago despite them being the biggest fish. Like you can talk about revenue, but seems peak Fox was the O’Reilly years as far as appreciation. That conservative audience is bigger than ever, but all over the place and listening/watching 20 different things. I mean back in the 3 channel days, Cronkite was watched by 30 million a night in a country of 200 million. Now with 330 million, he’s watched by 1 in a 100 adults and 3 in a 1000 aged 25-54 demo.
Like $800 million hurts and there are more lawsuits. Sounds like it’s another lawsuit that’s more his specific problem Add in he talks a lot of shit about ownership on texts, and these guys are huge stars and he’s great at doing his thing, but not worth the drama. I assume they’ll find the next guy and just recover. It’s the same formula regardless of talent. It’s a sinking ship though, all of it, CNN and MSNBC and even Fox eventually. We are the last generation to watch this shit. And most of us don’t watch it regularly, just some clip.

It's so funny seeing liberals celebrate this like Ha!!! Fired!! All the while real conservatives jumping for joy knowing that this is not only the end of Fake Fox News, but cable TV in general. Fox News hasn't been conservative in 5 fucking years, just another also ran these days. The mainstream media just got the final nail in the coffin. It's officially over. Independent media is going to slowly destroy them over the next decade until they are a pile of rubble. This might be the greatest thing to happen to our cause since Trump got elected. Now watch Tucker get an ownership piece of Rumble and hop on that rocketship. What a GREAT day!!!Quote:

I should have known to get Bill O'Reilly's take on what happened at FNC. His snippet sat in my youtube feel until early this morning. Should have watch it earlier.
Even though O'Reilly was fired he's an insider; knows everyone at FNC. He brought up the Ray Epps interview on 60 Minutes. He thinks Epps is going to come with a lawsuit against Tucker. But the big news he delivered is all the coming lawsuits against the FNC Board of Directors.
O'Reilly also asserts Tucker's firing is going to hurt the Republican Party. You can get the gist of it in the first 10 minutes of the video:

Your Reilly post was excellent - amidst endless noise.Quote:

Tucker Carlson may indeed run for President or buy a winery in Napa but that was not his plan last Friday.
Epps was a public figure that day and suffers the consequences. Epps exposed himself to several kinds of risk. Tucker Carson was within his rights to examine Epps public actions. Yes, America is filled with fruitcakes but that isn’t Carlson’s responsibility. Sometimes life deals you a tough hand Epps.
I felt kinda bad toward the end of the “show” as Reilly engaged in quite a marathon of advertising hustle. Thought he’d bring out a bottle of Geritol. Everyone has a hustle on the webz.
I keep laughing about BCR’s observation that we are the last generation to consume stuff like Fox, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC and the like. He’s right. Not me personally. I got involved during Covid for the first time and then shut it off a year or two ago.
BCR invoked Walter Cronkite in the same post as Tucker Carlson and that’s quite a fete.

And you're still simping this hard for him?
O'Reilly is still active. I have his No Spin News in my youtube feed. Whether one like's him or not he's a hard news guy that doesn't go with the anonymous sources bullshit. He also has a radio show called The O'Reilly Update and he makes regular appearances on other talk radio shows.Quote:

And he has a subscription website, billoreilly.com.
On these conservative podcasts and radio shows it's annoying but they do their own commercials.
This will come a shock to you, but Rupert Murdoch is not a member of Team Retard. He manipulates Team Retard to make money.Quote:

I don’t care what your politics are or your sexual orientation is, that is torture.
I really don't know what there is to laugh about.
I'm sure Tucker Carlson is crying, right now, into a wad of $100 bills as he takes a few laps in his Olympic-sized swimming pool full of those.
I've also never understood why conservatives liked him in the first place. He does performative emoting and his already-whiny stage voice breaks like that of a little boy just entering puberty. Really, he should be everything that Conservatives, namely working class ones, hate.
That said, I did see the video of him at the pond at Central Park and he seems like a fairly nice human off-air. I think a lot of other even remotely famous people would have lost their shit about that.
Still, whatever appeal Tucker Carlson has as a host is totally lost on me; I find his stage gimmick insufferable.
See the 2016 election.Quote:

Tucker talked shit about Trump and also admitted he was lying about his beliefs about Dominion. No way Fox can explain this if he remains employed. These leaked correspondences make Fox look like fools, so they have to get rid of him.
The way you do that in the 2020s is by finding any trace of "sexual harassment" (which is a given if you're a high profile male, as the slightest joke or sharing of a funny image qualifies), and voila. Easy reason to get rid of someone.
thread is an absolute right wing copealanche.
Obviously it's money related and that's it. Whether due to Dominion or other shit we don't about he became expendable because of financial liability.Quote:

Fox News doesn't give a shit about shame or embarassment. Their own lawyers argued in court successfully that no one could watch his show and believe what he says.
Easy enough to plug in another fearmonger and keep idiots like naturalborncuckold angry and with purpose, just have to be more careful when lying about an entity that comes in heavy.

This is that moment where Bart Hanson finds out he's misinformed, a useful idiot if you will. That's too strong but you know what I mean.
I'm sure he thinks Tucker had a role in peddling lies about Dominion.
Actually, the opposite is true.

I've written many times about FNC's manipulation of the news and their viewers. Try to keep up.Quote:
