Tucker Carlson FIRED by FOX

FOX finally realizing that their recent loss of (US) $787,000,000 in a lawsuit in which lies by Tucker Carlson played a huge role, facing additional even larger lawsuits in which, again, false statements on the air play a large role, and having been notified their core broadcast license is under FCC review saw the writing on their wall and has released Tucker Carlson from their network.

I told my son I bet he would get fired...

Don Lemon was also fired from CNN...

Tucker Carlson no longer works for Fox News.

On Monday, FOX News Media announced that the company had “agreed to part ways” with Carlson.

“We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor,” FOX News Media said in a news release.

Carlson last appeared on the network on Friday.

Beginning Monday evening, his slot will be replaced with “an interim show helmed by rotating Fox News personalities until a new host is named” under the name Fox News Tonight.

The news comes after FOX News and Dominion Voting Systems agreed to a settlement over the network’s coverage of former President Donald Trump’s false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
If they start cleaning up due to 'lies been broadcast' then many many more will/should be fired.
I suspect some other TV and radio hosts may also be given walking papers now that the FCC has started enforcing their broadcast rules about being accurate in anything called news.

And now poor Don Lemon from CNN.
Spring cleanup or something.

No Tucker is so good he should have his own channel actually.
Any peron, not otherwise prohibited, in America can get an FCC license. Keeping it is the challenge (and the expense as the FCC continually narrows bandwidth so it can keep auctioning more frequencies off).
If Mr. Carlson wishes to apply for his own broadcast license and commit the money he is free to do so. Maybe he can get his buddy Trump to pay the license and equipment fees.
His last words on Fox: “We’ll be back on Monday!”

Uh, no you won't. scold
Does he need Fox News? Or is Fox News a good thing not to be associated with anymore?

And not just Fox News. All of the mainstream media is hollowed out by technology and the decline of the western world in general.
Donald J. Trump Jr. - "I’m shocked. A once in a generation talent and someone willing to challenge the norms is out at Fox News. Wherever Tucker ends up he will continue to be a great voice for conservatives without the corporate shackles. Other than DJT perhaps no one understands the GOP base like Tucker and was one of the few people who using logic and reason could bring independents into the fold."
I'm sure Tucker's thrilled not to be associated with his estimated annual $41M mainstream media salary anymore. Y'know, the one he lied through his teeth to maintain.

Tucker for president at $400K a year, eh? hmmm





















;
They only want Tuckers head Luke, Tucker is 1 of the biggest whistle blower in US/Western media..
Tucker will probably do a Clayton Morris move and start his own show from another country..
He is a provable liar in almost everything he had broadcast on FOX (which is why FOX lawyers settled out of court). However, good news for Mr. Carlson Margarita (Putin's appointed Russia Times(aka RT.com) stooge has offered him a position as a talking head for RT.com



Since RT has no assets outside of Russia Mr. Carlson may have to relocate to Moscow or St. Petersburg to accept the offer, but hey, it is a job, right? laugh
Mediate.com is reporting
a(A) It was a firing, not something mutually agreed to
(B) Mr. Carlson learned of it only this morning and was as surprised as his staff was by the news. He really had thought that after last weeks legal bill, of which he paid such a prominent role, past EEO settlements, and with even larger lawsuits looming that Mr. Murdoch would be allowing him to continue to bleed FOX (Murdoch) money by telling lies on the air forever.

What is more worrying is that some Americans actually believe the lies and misinformation Carlson spewed out.
You would think a country that is the world's most powerful superpower, would have more intelligent citizens.
The splitup was not so much more unnatural than if T45 left R and went solo.
So in a way it was long overdue.

The 'sad' part however is it somehow cemets the devide.
Not the devide between D and R but between "them" and "us",
corp media serving their owners, and us- we the people.
That is why I say 1984. From now on we trumpers and any truth seeking leftie
will have to go to alternative places for info, no more tv for that.
But who knows, it might be just as good in the long run.
You can say Fox gave up try and stand against the current.

So, it's an historical turning point in a way (not dramatic but still);
It's before Tucker at Fox, and after. If they also will lose viewers on it only time will tell.
Like Glenn Beck I think they might.
In the same way as many a Bud light person will never go back.

drinking
"Lite" is just the pc way of saying that firms name now,
o'corse it's buddy-wiser... I know beer

I hope Tucker will not sue. He should now consentrate on his own future.
Did he cost Fox almost 800? Well not alone he didn't.
And Dershowitz actually think Fox could have won the lawsuit if they
did bother to take the hazzle of a court case.
I understand Fox wanting to settle fast as possible though, under the rug with it!
Move on and make it seem like they "are sorry".
That is what people will remember from this. Fox was sorry, laid flat.
Paid the cost and they are forgiven. Besides cut the "bad boy" TC off too.

That does not include the hard core maga people though.
Fox n friends and the five is still there but... something bad has happened..
no- let's go online. Where you can find them all, resurrected (!)
Megyn Kelly, Canedace Owens, Glenn Beck, Jimmy Dore and the lot.


tip hat
It doesn't matter the organisation, the most intelligent people are in second and third place. The top is made out of cronies. Not all who are at the top, but they are lower on average
wave wave wave hi luken grin
I wont miss him because I never watched him. dunno


If it was over coverage of Trump's false claims, it would have been reported as Trump's false claims and Dominion wouldn't have been defamed.

The lawsuit against Fox News was brought because the network reported with actual malice, or knowing falsity, suggesting voting machines were rigged for and/or vulnerable to voter fraud.

@ 0.59 The presenter misquotes the LA Times changing the word 'insurrection' to 'protests'.


Ummm, Fox News including Tucker Carlson. That's exactly what they did. They repeated what the audience wanted to hear with knowing falsity to maintain ratings and advertising revenue. Accusing and blaming others for wrongdoings carried out by the accuser is a very Trump era technique of deflection.

So, three minutes into the video and there are three obvious manipulations of the truth. I think I might fill up the whole blog if I were to go through the whole 25+ minutes. laugh
So, Jac- may I ask you- was the election 2020 rigged in your opinion?
