Fox News “is dead,” and Tucker Carlson already has his first job offer. It came within hours of the shocking announcement that he and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation were “parting ways.” Who took the biggest hit? It looks like Fox News has.
Though PJ Media suspected Carlson was in some hot water with the corporate suits and the board at Fox News over his January 6 coverage, which ended almost as soon as it started, the news that he was leaving hit with the force of an asteroid in cable news circles.
I think that J-6 stuff did him in. You? #TuckerCarlson was the reason to watch #FoxNews pic.twitter.com/GzzwgZ4GZG

No one in the digital information space thinks that Carlson will have any problem starting his own brand on any number of platforms, from Rumble to SiriusXM. Fox News, however, took an immediate hit on Wall Street.
Hilarious but true: @TuckerCarlson leaving hit Fox stock harder than the Dominion suit ever did.
Look, if Steven Crowder can be offered $50 million for four years and want $120, what is Tucker worth? Here’s a hint: it starts with a B

And Fox News took a hit in the court of public opinion with the investor class as well.
Fox News has fallen.

Carlson is expected to land on his feet. Former Fox News talent Megyn Kelly told her podcast audience on Monday that Carlson could look forward to “blue, blue skies ahead,” adding, “He’s got a bright future.

Former Fox News talent Glenn Beck, who knows all about starting his own digital information fortress, agreed that Carlson would be much happier out on his own. In fact, he said he’d been planning for Carlson’s ouster at Fox News and had prepared a job offer for him.
“We’ve been preparing an offer for him for a few days just to be ready in case. It’s looked dicey for a while. We hope to present him an offer at The Blaze. He wouldn’t miss a step. He’d just take it and go. I mean, I think Tucker will do very very well for himself.”
Tucker is a gold mine for whomever signs him up firstest/bestest.
Fox News Corporation is on a suicide mission, first for surrendering to Dominion (which appears to be total and absolute), then trying to cover this surrender as a virtue signal by implying that they were taking the “”high moral ground”.
“Fair” they might have been, but “balanced” was left in the barn a long time ago.
Hey Elon, bring Tucker in and get TwitterTV and/or StarlinkTV going now!
>> Hey Elon, bring Tucker in and get TwitterTV and/or StarlinkTV going now!
That sounds like a winner!
I don’t think the Blaze has deep enough pockets or enough reach for Tucker
Just started listening to Beck show on WFLA radio.
537 million shares outstanding, Now trading at $29.76/share.
Half a billion in lost market value has to $ting.
“Fox News Corporation is on a suicide mission, first for surrendering to Dominion”
That was not a loss. That was money laundering in your face. Dominion just got more money for their election stealing efforts. Follow the money. Where is Fox paying this from?
I watched Hannity last night. Not a peep about Tucker. Same with Laura. They obviously want to keep their jobs, go with the status quo.
Fox has always been a corporate Rino fraud. They clobbered us during the 2000, 2018, and 2020 elections, and helped their media pals permanently brand us with the commie red color. They had one watchable show. Bye.
The burning of the Christmas tree at the Fox building was the omen.
The threat from the white house must have been a big one.
Fox was worth watching because Tucker slew a herd of sacred cows, speaking the truth.
As I watched him, I suspected that his days were numbered and that the left was working to get rid of him. They kicked Matt Walsh off YouTube at THE SAME TIME that Tucker was fired. I thought the same thing as I watched Matt use the correct pronouns for delusional people.
Both will find a better place from which to speak truth.
If Tucker has future political aspirations, this would be a great opportunity to start positioning himself.
Somebody please save Tyrus.
Hannity and Laura only care about their millions. The old multi-millionaires pretending to care about the paycheck to paycheck guys.
Exactly.
What is the “job offer” the headlines proclaimed.
All the speculation about what happened has been entertaining. Everybody has a reason that conveniently fits their agenda.
The MSM (depending on the outlet): It is Dominion. No, it is because his staff was anti-semetic and sexist. No, it’s because of J6. No, it is because of his lies. And on and on.
What if it was about what most of these things end up being about. Money. Tucker has to be looking around and seeing how much moola these people are making on their digital empires. Why not him?
