Fox News just pulled a Bud Light: Furious Tucker Carlson fans say they will now boycott beleaguered network after his firing because it 'was the only show I watched'
Daily Mail UK ^ | April 24, 2023 | Stephen M. Lepore

Fans of Tucker Carlson's now canceled Fox News show are comparing the beleaguered network to Bud Light and threatening to boycott it altogether in the wake of Carlson's firing.

Carlson was blindsided by his firing from Fox News and learned of it on Monday morning shortly before it was announced, sources tell DailyMail.com.

Now, some of Carlson's fans, guests and conservatives in general are trashing the network's decision.

Frequent guest Michael Tracey wrote: 'Fox News has eliminated the only reason why anyone under 40 pays any attention to Fox News.'

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia went further.

'Cable news is about to be taught a powerful lesson after Fox News caved to the woke mob and fired Tucker Carlson,' she tweeted. 'Americans no longer blindly watch the news like they did decades ago, they only watch the ones who have courage to tell the truth. Americans are about to quit watching.'

Venture Capitalist David Sacks compared Fox to Bud Light for their promotion with Dylan Mulvaney, a move that enraged conservatives.

'Tonight I’ll be watching Fox News drinking Bud Light. Not,' he tweeted, presumably sarcastically.

One another account joked about another Mulvaney promotion.

'By losing Tucker, Fox News is now the Bud Light of Nike Sports Bras,' they wrote, citing Dylan Mulvaney's partnership with the athletics wear brand.

Even some of Carlson's closest staff were unaware that his show had been axed, reading about it for the first time on Twitter.

I cannot join the current outrage boycott of Faux News. Why? Because I abandoned them after Election Night 2020. Haven’t spent a single moment there since.

Fox faces a huge problem. They fired Tucker for his views. No matter who replaces him, everyone knows that person is only giving us stories withing much narrower Fox guardrails.

Their credibility was hanging by a thread. Now they are no better than MSNBC or CNN.

Same here, also Gutfeld on YouTube. We have not bothered having cable for years--just free streaming services plus Amazon Prime because we like getting the free shipping.

They won’t replace him with someone with the same views. The replacement is some defanged person acceptable to the DC party.

No matter what story the replacement pushes, you’ll always be left top wonder what they aren’t saying.

Now they’ll push a bunch of useless outrage stories about some gay tranny at the border, or someone getting beat up by a feral black somewhere, UFOs, cattle mutilations etc. But they will scrupulously avoid election fraud, the covid shot, the climate fraud, etc.

Useless now.

They should not call it a boycott. The left uses boycotts and threats of boycotts and bad publicity to get their way. Businesses cower in fear of leftists’ boycotts even though they don’t have the economic effect they promise. I say I just will stop using their product. I already don’t use their product because Hannity and before him Bull OReilley. But I have glanced at Gutfeld and Watters from time to time and Tucker. Now I will thumb down all their videos.

The Son and Paul Ryan are in charge.

Fox peeps know what Mgmt wants.

It was dereliction for Brett Baier to decide that Joe Biden wouldn’t be asked about his Foreign money, Ukraine, and Hunter’s Laptop in Fox’s Presidential Debate. They went all out to get Joe Biden elected.

Me too. I can’t stomach Fox for more than 10 minutes. I just watch Tucker on YouTube. Frankly I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did because in the past year he has really woken up and red pilled.

“I didn’t even watch Tucker on Fox, I watched him on youtube.”

Same here. I was planning to cut cable, but now I’ll do it sooner, like this week?

I just subscribed to Fox News on Youtube three days ago so I could find Tucker’s clips on my ROKU easier.

Unsubscribed today when I heard the news.

Haven’t watched any other Fox News directly since May 2016. Their treatment of DJT was appalling.
