Lawdog Dago Dom Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Interesting take on the "parting" of Tucker Carlson and Fox News. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/04/24/thoughts-on-tucker-carlsons-firing/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshot Bob Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Hopefully it will turn out to be a good thing. With the size of the audience he will bring I’m sure that many news outlets are looking to recruit him. And maybe he’ll take the Joe Rogan approach. They say Musk wants to integrate a streaming service into twitter. Give Tucker the twitter files and a show on Twitter. Lots of possibilities, or maybe he just takes his money retires and spends time with his family. It should be interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Sometimes media celebrities become bigger than the organizations they work for. Dan Rather comes to mind. It wasn’t CBS news anymore, it was Dan Rather and the news. I think Tucker had become bigger than Fox. Carlson is a pundit and very skilled at his craft, appealing to a large audience that more often than not includes us. But I get concerned when any pundit achieves demigod status the way so many of them are becoming today. Punditry is as old as the written word and should be taken with a grain of salt. I like a variety of views so I can make up my own mind. As such, I hope he sticks around to round out the infotainment industry. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if CNN courts and lands him the way a sports franchise does for a marquis player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Mosby Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I'm a fan of Tucker, but no way in hell would I tune to cnn to watch him. I had a late night habit of Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham week nights adding in Gutfeld, Bongino and the 5 of weekends. With them dumping Bongino and now Tucker, makes one wonder who's next?

Maybe Hannity, Gutfeld. Ingraham?????? Even the Five maybe? Will Cain and Pete Hegseth better watch their steps. How about Fox & Friends in the morning??

Go West Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Besides Tucker, we watched Fox Business. The wife likes The Five. Too bad he's out this far ahead of 2024. 75% don't like what's going on in many areas, I hope the Republicans don't blow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderRiverCowboy Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Well, you could just follow the money too, Blackrock owns Dominion and a large number of shares of Fox . So Fox "settles" lawsuit transfer of funds . Fox gets large tax deduction for settling (free cash) Fox fires Tucker opps bad shares drop, Dominion reinvests the lawsuit settlement buys more share of Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrock does not own Dominion Voting, it is owned by a private equity firm. The rest of it I refrain from pointing out the absurdity…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cover the exact same stories as the rest of the news media but with a middle of the road slant to satisfy a different audience. It’s all out of the same playbook unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
