Cancel culture run amok: Cucker Carlson out at Fox.

[Kal-El814]

Fox is going to be fine, in relatively recent history the torch has been passed, however unwillingly, from O'Reilly, to Hannity, and then to Carlson. Perhaps at some point the network will run out of aggrieved white men who can clutch their pearls while doing sleight of hand to suggest that it is, in fact, everyone else in the nation that's got a death grip on their jewelry. But I don't think that'll be a problem for them in the long run.

 

As for Carlson himself, he's not a stupid man and I don't think he'd look at what Trump and DeSantis have been put through by the GOP base and decide that he wants a piece. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.

Maybe you’re correct, but it being just him is weird. There have definitely been rumors of him wanting to run.

 

@SaysWho? will decide if Tucker Carlson is going to run.

[SaysWho?]

Gonna share a tweet simply because I can’t find a YouTube link yet; feel free to replace it when it’s up. This was Tucker’s final post of his final segment. He tells the audience he’ll see them Monday.

I saw another tweet that it had to have happened very abrutply this morning, since there was work going on preparing an interview for tonight.

I hope this news makes a lot of terrible people upset.

 

Fuck Tucker Carlson. Fuck anyone who watched his show.

[ort]

Maybe he did something terrible we haven't learned about yet.

 

You know, besides just being Tucker Carlson.

800 million will unquestionably change the way FNC operates. There is no chance the value of this particularly egregious behavior is worth what they just paid out.

I always said Tucker looks like the guy who women covered their drinks whenever he was around.

[BloodyHell]

This is definitely the most interesting thing in the news anchor sphere in a while 

[SuperSpreader]

Damn this episode of Succession is wild 

[Brick]

So was he fired? Will he go to another right wing network, or start his own thing and get even more unhinged without any corporate oversight moderating his views, and now he'll forgoe the dog whistles, and just be blatant. 

[ort]

His replacement has been announced...

What Mary Kay house party did that thing crawl out of?

So how long until he goes to OAN or NewsMax and takes his following of chuds with him?

I wonder if he has a non-compete clause.

She's a character from "Succession" who auditioned for an anchor role on the show's right-wing news network and bombed hilariously.

[Massdriver]

This is great 

[outsida]

So Tuck Carlson, whom hates Trump passionately, is out at Fox News? Shocking!

Honestly I can't tell if she's 20 or 40. Neither would surprise me.

Wow sucks that the Dominion settlement did nothing. Imagine if it had done something.

 

This is one of those times I'm more than happy to be wrong!

Fox News actually has this up as one of their main stories... not the big one, but the last of the featured stories...

 

But, the cowards turned off the comments. COWARDS.

She had a fun little line in a scene where cousin Greg was telling her she isn't going to be on TV.

His show studio was located in his mansion. He had a good gig and my guess is couldn’t get out of his own way.

OH!!!!

 

So they were forcing him back to work in the studio, and he said no. So they fired his ass because they no longer allow work from home. 

 

 

either way FUCK THIS FUCKING FUCK!!!

 

I wish I knew where the video of him being tasered by cops for an NBC segment is.

It's pure speculation, but I would bet he was asked to issue an on-air apology or have less editorial control going forward with his segments, he said no to both, and they said see you later boy.

Fox wasn't required to do an on air apology as part of the settlement so I doubt that was it. They probably figured he was too toxic to have around anymore since he just cost the company almost a BILLION dollars. And remember there's ANOTHER lawsuit... the Smartmatic lawsuit and I'm sure Carlson figures largely into that one as well.

The reason I have a hard time believing it was due to the Dominion, is Hannity, Ingraham, and Bartiromo are in those texts just as much and saying similar things, and we haven't seen any consequences for them (yet?).

I mean, maybe they agreed to tone it down on election denying stuff.
