tucker got canned because he got too woke.

But why did Lemon get canned? I say good for both. Let’s make news, news again 

news will never be news and facts will never be facts as long as lies and entertainment pay more.

i wonder if tucker will no longer have fox attorneys for the upcoming smartmatic trial?

fox will settle that one too if they are smart.

Do you think they'd try a different tact, stating that they've already ousted all the hosts peddling lies as penalty for their remarks, and recommend that they sue the hosts individually? I'm just trying to imagine how these weasels will squirm next.

firing now shows they could have fired then. they knew it was a lie and continued to allow them to spout that shit. they are in no way off the hook. do note that more discovery was had then the jury got seated.

Smarmatic will push and have stated they want admission from fox itself as part of any settlement.

Shareholder get dick this year and you can expect a lawsuit filed by them......

also smartmatic attorneys have stated that they will not settle for less than what the dominion case was settled for, and will not settle without a full retraction of what was said on the air.

I hope they stick to that. That was pretty disappointing that the dominion settlement basically just got no mention on Fox and they spun it like it was just a cost of doing business in the "woke" USA.

Are you talking about his demotion to the morning show, or was he fired from that?

didn't know that he did. i don't care for don lemon either, so i really don't care about him.

I believe Lemon had sexual harassments cases on him.

I don't even like Lemon but I don't see how this interview can play a role in his termination .

HughFreakingDillon

maybe his "whatever ethnicity you are" was it? I don't know. he's generally extremely combative with anything black-related, and he seems to think he is the be all and end all of all black related discussion.

According to what I just read, Carlson was blind sided. They reached out to him this morning and his email w/ Fox was deactivated as of that call. He was in the midst of negotiating an extension w/ the network through 2029, something he told people he expected to get as recently as last week.

is this Succession playing out in real life??

Carlson has told people he believes his controversial show is being taken off the air because the Murdoch children intend to sell Fox News at some point.

 Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News after Dominion lawsuit disclosures
By Jeremy Barr and Sarah Ellison
April 24, 2023 at 16:19 ET
In a surprise announcement, Fox News on Monday cut ties with its controversial yet top-rated prime-time host Tucker Carlson, one of the most influential voices in Republican politics.
The apparently hasty parting — Carlson gave no indication he was leaving in his last nightly appearance Friday, and the network was still running promos for his show Monday morning — came less than a week after Fox settled a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, which had sued the network for false claims about the 2020 election. Carlson was among several on-air personalities expected to testify.
Carlson’s private messages were among hundreds of internal communications made public in the course of the lawsuit that caused angst and embarrassment for Fox and heightened the company’s legal jeopardy — Fox ultimately agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million. Among other comments, Carlson expressed skepticism of the election-fraud claims made on-air by attorneys affiliated with Donald Trump and declared that he “passionately” hates the former president, whose rise to power had been cheered by Fox.
But it was Carlson’s comments about Fox management, as revealed in the Dominion case, that played a role in his departure from Fox, a person familiar with the company’s thinking told The Post.
“Do the executives understand how much credibility and trust we’ve lost with our audience?” Carlson wrote to a colleague in a message a day after Fox, like other media outlets, called the election for Joe Biden. It was a sentiment echoed by others at Fox in the fall of 2020, as even network officials who disbelieved Trump’s election-fraud conspiracy theories fretted that countering them strongly would alienate their conservative viewers.
In another message, Carlson referred to management with an expletive: “Those f-----s are destroying our credibility.” He later wrote: “A combination of incompetent liberals and top leadership with too much pride to back down is what’s happening.”
Carlson, who works from a remote studio in Maine, did not immediately respond to a message asking for comment on his departure — which came just an hour before rival cable network CNN fired longtime host Don Lemon.
Notably, Carlson was not given a chance to say goodbye to the mammoth audience he had amassed in his years as a prime time host. His executive producer, Justin Wells, is also leaving the network, according to a person familiar with the move.
Fox said that the 8 p.m. time slot, which Carlson has held since April 2017, will be filled on an interim basis by “rotating Fox News personalities until a new host is named.”

Idk, the Dominion settlement and pending smartmatic lawsuit make too much sense as reason enough IMO. 

gimmesometruth27

yeah if you own a company that is about to get another nearly 1 billion dollar judgement or settlement, it might be time to sell that thing to someone else that may run it better.

because clearly, how the murdochs are running it, isn't the way.
