Great. Now I won’t have to switch channels back and forth from Tucker to Lou Dobbs.
He’s not very pretty.
(I don’t care. I have a wife. I’m just making fun of the FR droolers.)
Fox has actually been quite good since the election.
They are not totally pro Trump—but I don’t expect them—or want them—to be so.
Who replaces Tucker? Doesn’t matter - now I can watch Lou Dobbs for a full hour.
I remember he was horrible when he started on Crossfire. I’ve heard he’s better now, but I don’t watch Fox anymore, so I haven’t seen his new show.
I thought yesterday that they were looking for a pro-Trump woman to fill the slot? What happened? Couldn’t find an appropriate blond?
His show has been great to watch, him picking apart liberal guests.
Trish Regan...speaking of which: http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/trish-regan-groomed-take-over-megyn-kelly/2017/01/04/id/766873/
Tomi Lahren might be good in Tucker’s old slot.
Trish Regan would be an excellent choice for the Greta/Tucker replacement.
Someone who can be groomed to one day take over for O’Reilly should get the 7:00pm slot. He’s already making noises about cutting back or retiring since he’s 67 years old. Given the lineup with Tucker it likely would be a female.
Regardless of one’s opinion of BOR he has a reputation for digging deep and it won’t be as easy to replace him as a Kelly is. Some of our favorites here like Pirro might not want to work the 5-day cycle, which is why the weekends fit her so well.
I suspect that given BOR’s ability to draw ratings no matter who leads into him they might go with multiple people and see which one does the best ratings and eventually settle on that person.
I actually began taping Tucker’s show at the 7pm slot as that’s not a good time for me to watch.
I never tape Fox shows so this was a first.
Tucker does a good job and I love to see him take on liberals.
They never win.
You brought up an interesting point. Tucker has shown a remarkable talent for asking questions that expose Lefists as being either irrational or outright liars.
If I were a Leftist, I would not wish to submit to Tucker’s questions, knowing that pretty much all of my Leftist buddies have walked away looking like fools.
Yet somehow, Tucker doesn’t seem to lack for Leftist volunteers.
The only explanation I have for this is that Leftists are so trapped in their Leftist bubbles, that they can’t see that they’ve been taken to the woodshed by a conservative journalist.
Thoughts anyone?
......FOXNEWS may survive financially after all
Murdock and the Clintonistas used her soo transparently to undermine Trump early on.....it only revealed her genuine liberal bias & lack of talent.
Then, as her hair kept changing & she continued to morph into some trans-sexual, millennial snowflake bull-dyke attack hyena, Fox's rating went toilet....
The plan by the globalist elites was to deprive potential non-Hillary voters of any well-respected media outlet, thereby labelling any alternate perspective, 'FAKE NEWS'...the big lie didn't work. Either FOXNEWS returns to fully support its’ core viewership, or a genuine conservative channel will emerge as their competitor.
Good! Now I don’t have to keep switching between Lou Dobbs and Tucker Carlson.
“Fox has actually been quite good since the election.”
Do they actually have any news or are they still just a social commentary channel?
Two things liberals/progressives hold near and dear is that they are the smartest person in the room and anyone who doesn't agree obviously hasn't understood their message.
Examples: Hillary is the smartest woman in the world! "Why am I not 50 points ahead?"
"Obama is so much much smarter than everyone, he gets bored easily." "If I had been allowed to run, I would have won." Now Obama wants all agencies to write papers described their successes and accomplishments under his guidance.
Yea, but Tucker Carlson has a habit of reeling in the wackiest ones. That is how he succeeds in his solicitation efforts to get them on the show. His guests are from the alt-left far-side.
They are so assured of themselves and their cause that they are oblivious to any other view. They have drank their own kool-aid and can’t foresee that anyone could possibly discredit there cause. Some are fool enough to think they may outwit him, the others just want to get their face or cause on TV.
