Howard Stern says Tucker Carlson was likely 'nothing' to Rupert Murdoch and just another 'worker bee' in his giant corporation

Radio icon Howard Stern said ousted Fox News star Tucker Carlson was likely "nothing" to Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch and that he forgot he was just another "worker bee" in the billionaire media mogul's gigantic company.

Carlson's bombshell dismissal from the conservative media powerhouse serves as a "good life lesson," Stern said on the Wednesday broadcast of his Sirius XM radio program, "The Howard Stern Show."

"I've been a big money earner for radio companies for a long time now, but there's one thing I never forget — my boss is super wealthy," Stern said.

The shock jock added: "Like if you work for Rupert Murdoch, you know that ************'s got so many billions that as important as Tucker Carlson might be to the Fox network, he will fire your *** if you're a pain in the *** because, at the end of the day, you are a fly on his *******."

"You're nothing because he's still gonna' have billions upon billions upon billions of dollars and own a giant corporation. And you know, you cannot **** up. You can only push them so far," Stern continued.

Stern said that people like Carlson and ex-Fox News host Bill O'Reilly, who was forced out by the network in 2017 in the wake of sexual harassment allegations, "forget" that they're just "another brick in the wall."

"That's what you are. You're a worker bee. I'm a worker bee. Yeah, you know, they pay me well and everything," Stern said. "I don't let it, for a minute do I think I'm more important than the man who owns this place.

Sterns opinion. I kind of agree with. Piss off your boss and see what happens.

Does Murdoch even know who Carlson is?

It’s also proof that profit motive is just one factor weighed against many other factors for the super rich. When you really don’t need that much more money to maintain your elite status, supply and demand graphs take a back seat.

Except it was Ryan and the Murdoch kids that did this.

Simple thoughts for simple minds.

Murdoch and his genocidal billionaire globalist pedophile fellow travelers are actively trying to eliminate 90% of the global population, and you are so dimwitted you chase whatever squirrel they tell you to chase today.

Tucker will soon be free to tell what he knows.

That's what's really going on.

Stern is probably projecting.

I think that Rupert has dementia, much like Biden, but not not as bad. He was engaged to woman, who would have been his fifth wife and he called off the engagement because she kept talking about spiritual things, including a remark in an interview that Tucker Carlson was a messenger from God. It is my guess that his kids used that remark to talk him out of marrying for a fifth time.

Then, I think, and this is only a guess, that when that woman CEO and the younger Murdoch called Rupert on Friday night to convince him to silence Murdoch, they told him about Tucker’s speech at the Heritage Foundation, never thinking that Rupert would turn around and tell the press that was one of the reasons that they wanted Tucker to go. ( or be silenced).

Stern has always been savvy enough to kiss up to his billionaire radio bosses throughout his entire career.

Stern is stuck on the small picture.

Where's the lesson about not pissing-off your customers?

Or does that no longer matter is the age of a leviathan government?

Never underestimate Stern’s ability to not comprehend reality.

It’s something he’s really good at.

Rupert’s final mission before he croaks is to keep President Trump from being elected in 2024. The Steal- Part Deux.

Rupert has never had a problem with pissing off his customers. Ever.

I doubt Paul Ryan is actually involved. We may not like him, but Hillary Clinton, who is Murdoch’s political advisor, probably doesn’t.

I can’t believe anyone still listens to this 69 year old with the fake wig and the adolescent brain.

Stern still has a job and Tucker was fired. Who’s the dummy?

Well l guess we disagree. Ryan is a little rat and l bet he is neck deep in this. I have seen it was him and the Murdoch kids posted in several sources. I have no doubt they were the ones who shut down the 1/6 videos too.
