Tucker Carlson canceled

Post Reply New Topic

With the letter, D, actually.

Well, he's all we Americans are seemingly able to discuss at the moment.

Then I have no idea.

I have heard ppl "talking smack" about Carlson but didn't realise he deserved it.
Never looked into him.
Cost Fox $1.1 Billion. OUCH!

But here's one freaky theory about why he had been fired:

But Carlson was, most definitely, becoming more and more of a legal liability. He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut and his typing fingers quiet (I was surprised he was willing to say so much of what he did in WRITING. Just, dumb).

The republicans did the same to Steve Bannon. Bannon was the single most important reason Trump won in 2016. However, his constant pandering (he also couldn't keep his mouth shut) to far right issues mean't Trump has no choice but to sacrifice him.

Tucker Carlson broke his silence Wednesday night, two days after his unceremonious exit from Fox News.

The right-wing former prime-time TV host, however, did not address his firing or what is next for him. Instead, in a video posted on Twitter, Carlson discusses his view on U.S. politics and the conversation taking place on cable news.

“When you take a little time off, you realize how unbelievably stupid the debates you see on television are, they’re completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won’t even remember that we had them. Trust me as someone who participated,” Carlson said in his video message Wednesday.

Since Monday, media reports have emerged that private messages from Carlson that were unearthed during the discovery process for the Dominion lawsuit helped seal his fate at Fox News. Vulgar private messages about his colleagues pushed Fox leadership toward letting go Carlson, The Wall Street Journal reported. Executives at Fox found out about the messages on the eve of the trial, according to The New York Times.

Less than a day after Tucker Carlson was ousted by Fox News, some conservative organizations publicly reached out to welcome him aboard.

The former Fox newsman was the network's most popular host, with his primetime show drawing more than 3 million viewers nightly. Carlson broke his silence for the first time since he left the network on Wednesday in a video statement he posted to his Twitter account, and made no mention of where he's headed nor why he was let go.

"Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren't many places left, but there are some," Carlson said near the end of the clip, before signing off with "see you soon."

One America News Network, or OANN, a competitor vying for Fox News' viewers, wrote an open invitation for Carlson on Twitter, saying, "Maybe Fox News' loss could be OANN's gain."

"One America News founder and CEO Robert Herring would like to extend an invitation to Carlson to meet for negotiation to become a part of the OAN team," the organization said on its website.

Glenn Beck, a former Fox News firebrand himself and is currently at conservative news outlet BlazeTV, lobbied for Carlson to join him.

"We would love to have you here. You won't miss a beat. And together, the two of us will tear it up. Just tear it up," Beck said during his show Monday.

The offers weren't limited to news organizations. Kevin Roberts, founder of the Heritage Foundation, tweeted the conservative think tank will "always be a home" for Carlson. Carlson had worked for the organization early in his career and delivered the keynote address at the D.C.-based institution's 50th anniversary celebration Friday, the same day his last show aired.

Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski said during a Twitter Space on Monday that he couldn't comment on whether the video-sharing platform popular with conservatives had interest in Carlson. Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy issued a statement after Carlson's removal criticizing the move by its arival Fox, but stopped short of issuing a public invitation.

I think a major part of cutting Bannon loose arose from the fact that even he came to realize that Trump was succumbing to dementia, and had made it known to others that he should be removed from office. Though from the way he sucks up to Trump in his desire to be part of the inner far right clique, again, you wouldn't know that.

This is what we should replace him with:
