Why torch anything , guy is about to get $40 million.
wait does this make murdoch a libtard?
Tucker did go on and on about being an Episcopalian, saunas and good and evil. The audience was so receptive to the religion I thought Heritage was a prayer group.
Heritage is actually a Bush/Reagan neocon cult. Druff could prolly elaborate.
It’s a really odd way to go out as Heritage was more or less a Murdoch invention.
Little confused about Carlson’s orientation as I often saw him swapping spit with my girl, Tulsi, and I would fantasize I was Tucker those nights. Tulsi is anything but a neocon and Tucker was enraptured.
So it was prayer? I’m confused as to why Tucker was speaking at Heritage. Maybe Murdoch has lost his marbles over the religion thing.
If Murdoch has lost his faculties the leadership of ‘Merka and the world is in a precarious place.
Really strange times.
Between the leaked emails and Heritage I’m starting to wonder, “who is Carlson”.
Clearly a little bit of a chameleon for work purposes. Who is he really?
yeah lotta that going around

Lawyers plan to depose Tucker Carlson about 'sexist' workplace later this year amid reports he was ousted from Fox News over misogynistic messages
"Tucker Carlson was ousted from Fox News in part because of sexism, according to reports.
He's currently a defendant in a hostile workplace lawsuit brought by ex-producer Abby Grossberg.
Carlson is still on track to be deposed even though he left Fox, a lawyer for Grossberg said."
Since Abby's Jewish, that alone entitles her to at least $10 million.
Let's compare how this financial settlement plays out versus say Jeffery Epstein's victims.
OMG Tucker called Bartiromo a Diva in front of little orphan Abby.
Wow she came out and said it.

Forget everything you heard, this is the reason she set up Tucker.
His ability to potentially dictate the outcomes of an election and policy was not ok, she pretends to be looking out for the American People but her plan is to return that power to AIPAC and the Neocon pundits. She appears to have accomplished that.
Lol you can't make this stuff up.
A professonal victim, notice her hand placement. I bet she practiced that all night.
What a phony.

and of course, accuse him of antisemitism.
Nothing like FPS_Entropy coming in here and vomiting on the thread with his usual conspiratard antisemitism.
Grossberg was a low level producer at FNC. One has to ask why Grossberg has so much tape of behind the scenes events at FNC. I think it was a set up. But she is going to be hard pressed to show any tape of Tucker making sexist comments, or any comments at all. That's because Tucker was never in the Fox studios. He worked from home. Can she prove she ever had any interactions with Tucker? I doubt it.
Those of you who are elated at Tucker leaving cable news, be careful what you wish for. Those who have left before like O'Reilly, Beck, Megyn Kelly, have bigger footprints on digital and radio than they ever had on cable.
I drive a lot miles around the country a year. No matter where I'm at I just channel surf to the conservative talk radio show in the area, whether it's Hannity, EIB, O'Reilly, Beck, Bongino. They are carried by hundreds of radio stations. They have permeated the country. Will Tucker show up? We'll see.
Cable news is dying. Digital is the wave of the future. Tucker will have a bigger footprint in America than he ever had on cable news. I'm looking forward to his subscription service where he won't be constrained by network executives and/or advertisers.
When Tucker gets to subscription, he's really going to lower the boom. His expose's on evil leftists are going to get bigger and better. Tucker is probably already worth a few hundred million but the subscription service is going to make him a billionaire.
Is this a parody post? Do you actually believe what you are saying or is this some long running troll? The fact that you can form complete sentences makes me think at least partial troll. You must acknowledge that over 80% of what Tucker spouts is some form of intentional disinformation/conspiracy theory laden white grievance doom and gloom---and we have learned from the Dominion discovery most of what he says he doesn't believe himself. Why has not another single conservative news outlet or any other host on Fox News even mentioned his January 6th "expose"? I mean Carlson's "Patriot Purge" is enough to make you throw up. He is also an unapologetic Putin lover. Ronald Regan turning in his grave.
Until this Carlson thing, I didn't even realize that O'Reilly, Beck, or Kelly were even doing anything in media any more. Their reach must be 1/10th of what it was when they were stars on Fox news. Most conservative talk radio is on AM radio. O’Reilly is so miserable on his Youtube channel he looks like he’s about to die.
In his Heritage speech Tucker said he hadn’t been on an elevator in 3 years. Thought that was wild. Looks like you’re right here
She looks like the Emo girl from Breakfast Club. PFA ‘80’s reference.
We have no idea if she got a bag. Kinda feels like the Murdoch move here.
Normally I wouldn’t give too much mind to this story. But it is important. Not because of Tucker but because of Murdoch.
Fox isn’t the Republican Party. There isn’t one Republican Party anymore - not since the civil war. Murdoch certainly rules over one half of it. The Republican Party is in chaos.
Not supporting Ukraine does not make you a “Putin lover” @TheHansonKid.
LOL! Bart, you really should do your homework before spouting off and showing your ignorance. Do you know what the average number of viewers that watch MSNBC in primetime is? It's about 1.1 million. CNN? 470,000.
Megyn Kelly has 930,000 subscribers. I took a look at how many views Bill O'Reilly's No Spin News has had from his show two days ago (that's enough time for everyone to get around to watching it). That show has got 1.1 million views so far. Plus he has a radio show on about 60 stations at last count.
Now, take a guess as to how much overhead Megyn and Bill have compared to MSNBC and CNN.
The under 50 crowd don't watch cable news so it's dying as the older crowd dies off. The kids are all into digital. The wave of the future. Be there or be square.
FNC wants to squash Tucker like a bug. They want him silenced. He knows it. The leaked stories about "oppo files" and such are part of FNC's diabolical plan to silence Tucker. With that "oppo" story they were signalling to Tucker that he better stay quiet or else.
But Tucker has come out swinging. In the tweet that Dwai put up Tucker is telling us what subjects he plans to cover in the future. These are all areas the media doesn't want covered by anyone truthful. The key line to me is the last line where Tucker says "See you soon." Tucker is signalling FNC that he will not tolerate them trying to silence him. He is also signalling to his 6.4 million Twitter followers that he plans to go digital.
Tucker, along with Don Lemon, has hired a high profile no nonsense lawyer, Bryan Freedman, to represent him in negotiations with FNC. I took a look around the internet on Freedman. The reactions by media people about Tucker hiring Freedman is "Wow!!!" Freedman is known as a dirty son of a bitch. Which is what it takes to get results against corporate media dirty sons of bitches. Get out the popcorn.
Here's Freedman's wiki and a list of notable clients:

Lol at libs believing they got Tucker. Lol losers.
You need a secret decoder ring?
Tucker is referencing debate about war and to political donors - this following the Murdoch funded neocon Heritage speech. can’t have it. Listen again. He can’t say it any plainer
Tucker is the only media figure that touches the third rail of Ukraine. He’s all over the lot with his content but I do have to tip my cap with his Ukraine stance. it’s an unpopular take and cost him his job.
Tucker is also correct that we focus on unimportant issues. Prayer and Pelosi posters is straight nonsense.
Advice to give your kids. Never badmouth an ex employer or employee. Everyone stays in the industry and paths will meet again. In the same vein, golden parachutes benefit both sides. Fox wanted Tucker out. Tie him up with golden handicuffs. Give him an exit package. Make a speech thanking the ex employee for his service.
You ask, “why on earth would you pay someone you want gone more money?” The damage Fox is experiencing with this awkward exit serves as a lesson. Woulda been a fraction of what they have lost and will spend going forward.
We are the last generation to have seen these cable networks.
Crazy Republican donor Murdoch burned his own house to the ground. It’s wild.
Yeah looks like the decision to fire him was very rash, and now Fox is going to suffer for it.
It's not like Bill O'Reilly, who was clearly guilty of sexual harassment, so most viewers understood why he was dumped. Also, O'Reilly had the highest average viewership age of anyone on TV (something like 73, if I remember correctly), so these people were unlikely to take to social media to complain about his firing.
Tucker's firing does not have a clear reason to it, and he also has a lot of appeal to middle-aged conservatives -- not just old people.
He's also become the most major face of conservative media. You can't just unceremoniously dump someone like that, as if they're yesterday's trash. There are consequences, and Fox is about to feel them.
or, hear me out, murdoch has realized that being the defacto mouth piece for christian white nationalism isnt profitable in the long term.
We disagree.
Tucker was the solitary face challenging neoconservatism - i.e. the war. Murdoch is an arch neoconservative. Murdoch founded Heritage and other liberal world order foundations.
Conservative in 2023 is a meaningless tag. All Republicans prolly consider themselves conservative.
Tucker has recently talked about his initial support for Iraq and then appalled by what he witnessed he had an epiphany.
Having spelled this out as I have do you still find a lack of clarity? Really?
Look up some Tucker and Tulsi on youtube
I love you man but on this subject I think you are just a wee bit disingenuous. I might guess why but I’m not that guy.
It looks like Murdoch very well may have been the force which abruptly terminated him, and it was probably a rash decision.
The lack of clarity is what was given to the public. Even reading between the lines raises a lot of questions. Nobody knows the exact reason he was let go -- only guesses.
That doesn't fly with the public in this age, where everyone can discuss it and complain on social media.
Tucker was coached on the Fox stance for numerous subjects. The “leaked” Tucker texts hinted at him “being the company man”.
He was prolly coached about Ukraine yet he was becoming more outspoken and off script. Ukraine and neoconservativism is a line in the sand with Murdoch. It was his life’s work and he has invested millions in outfits like Heritage.
Tucker’s insubordination definitely caused a rash response. Very unprofessional on Fox part and just dumb business to part with Tucker in the manner that they did.
I will say that salesmen grind it out in real life selling things they might not necessarily believe in. People do a lot of things to earn a living that don’t exactly echo their heart. That’s fucking life. Tucker wasn’t a journalist he was an op ed guy. An entertainer. He is the most talented in America.
In a fashion Tucker was insubordinate. Fox was also dumb.
Fox News has lost 2M viewers in the Tucker Carlson 8PM time slot.
3.3M was Tuckers average viewership.
Last night’s show was viewed by around 1.3M.
Every show in Prime Time has lost 20% or more of their audience.
Now this is how a network makes money, boys.
