Instead of firing him they should...give him an Academy Award for his performance as ...a fictional character who doesnt "hate Donald Trump's guts".

So that's it, after 7 years, so long, good luck.

I don't recall saying good luck.

‘The View’ Serenades Tucker’s Departure With ‘Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye

Quote:

The hosts of The View wasted no time on Monday morning celebrating the news that longtime nemesis Tucker Carlson had parted ways with Fox News and would no longer host his top-rated primetime cable show.

Coming back from break, Whoopi Goldberg informed the daytime show’s viewers that Carlson was out at Fox, prompting the studio audience to break out into applause and loud cheers.

After reading Fox News’ brief statement on the far-right host’s departure, Goldberg then called on the crowd and her fellow hosts to take part in “the wave” before turning to the rest of the panel. At the same time, as the news hit towards the end of Monday’s broadcast, Goldberg said they would talk more in-depth about Carlson’s exit on Tuesday’s program.

Co-host Ana Navarro, however, first wanted to know if she could get the crowd to join her in serenading the outgoing Fox News star.

“Can I ask the audience if they’ll help me do something?” Navarro wondered while flashing a devilish grin before breaking out into “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye,” the classic Steam hit from 1969 often used at sporting events.

“Come on, folks! Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!” Navarro shouted as the audience sang along before once again erupting in rapturous applause.

Waving at the camera, the Never-Trump Republican pundit gleefully said “sayonara” before turning it over to her colleagues to finish dancing on Carlson’s grave.

“I don’t think anyone likes to celebrate the demise of someone’s career, but he is responsible for the degradation that we see somewhat of our democracy in this country,” co-host Sunny Hostin noted. “And I just think, as a faithful person: Look at God. Look at God!”

She’s just as biased as Tucker Carlson, except she’s an extreme bleeding heart liberal.

As I was always been told: “Opinions are like a**holes: everybody has one.” And to quote Loudon Wainwright Iii’s song “Dead skunk in the middle of the road,” they “stink unto highest heaven!”

They are both commentators, both partisan, both about the same distance (but in opposite directions) from the center. But there is nothing wrong with that. One would be an antidote to the other (to keep the ship of state from capisizing to either side). But Rachel Maddow hasnt been caught in the kind of lies that Tucker has been caught in. She failed to prove her Russia-Trump conspiracy obsession (though it hasnt been disproven either). But she hasnt been caught lying about the party she doesnt like stealing an election (for starters).

The lies are not a minor difference. It can be everything. I haven't watched her much, but I do think Maddow goes off the deep end. I think she can get too strident while stating opinion, not always leaving it clear that its opinion and not fact, which is an issue. I also think she sees herself as an advocate, trying to wake people up, to the truth as she sees it, but is not willing to let go of journalistic integrity to get there. Within those boundaries, viewers have a fighting chance to separate fact from opinion without having to do their own investigating.
