Tucker Carlson just got fired

Not the same situation but it is worth remembering that Comcast paid Megyn Kelly $30 million to go away quietly.

A brilliant move might be for him to start his own internet channel similar to say conservative talk radio's Salem channel. He teams up with the likes of Rogan, Crowder, and possibly some the conservative radio talkers like say, Praeger and Hewitt, and they become their own network / news / political talk channel. The whole certainly already has the listener / viewer base to make that work.

I seriously doubt Rogan will play ball, and Crowder is already whoring for some right wing donor. Praeger is on his last legs. I don't know Hewitt. Rich folk don't like spending their own money unless they're like Murdoch (inherited wealth AND other entities to syphon funds from).
 
Did the Murdochs get told "Get rid of Tucker and we will leave you alone, dont and we will grind you into the mud"?

That is exactly what the WOKE Revolution would do.

Then they would cross a Tucker fault line.

And he would quit.
 
"No, I am not doing that" is essentially quitting, no one gets to stay after that if the bosses have any balls at all.

So, the real question here is, not why or how Carlson was let go, but rather, what will he do next? My bet is he will have something lined up PDQ and a big portion of his audience / viewers will move with him to that new something. There will be another platform that will benefit greatly from this, while FOX takes a big hit.

Fox's primetime audience isn't going anywhere. In fact, most don't even know that Fox lost the case to Dominion.

If Carlson is truly clever, the place he should go is Vice. He could be their conservative voice giving balance to the channel, and really pushing their brand up. Vice, from what I can see, has no compunction against letting their contributors have pretty much free reign over content. They're already established and having a balance between Left and Right would only improve the channel's reputation and broaden its appeal.

Wherever he goes, his audience will be a small fraction of what it was on Fox.

He's a trust fund baby, so income really doesn't matter.

It must be wonderful to be an extreme/fringe right wing wonk. Nothing in reality phases them...they just fabricate a new conspiracy theory to cover their failures. And they do this without the assist of alcohol or narcotics (or so I'm told). The torrent of "what about..", basic lies, distortions, dodges and just plain old bat shit crazy blathering in the coming days should be entertaining.

I'm sure they check polling and spout whatever lies that sell.

Ya gotta admit though, Lemon was unique. A black, gay misogynist....the mind boggles. Oh well, tough toe nails on him. Maybe he and Carlson can get together and bitch about being wronged by the "liberal elites"? :laugh:

They could do a Hannity/Colmes format.
 
Let me say this: If the official explanation sounds at all like BullShit then my post #114 idea is likely very near the target.
