Tucker Carlson’s exit from Fox News continues to be a major story, and left-wingers are wasting no time getting their shots in.
The hosts of the detestable, low-IQ daytime program The View celebrated wildly upon hearing the news while those on CNN, despite having their own high-profile firing in Don Lemon on the same day (though, no one even remembers at this point), could hardly contain their glee. They had finally gotten him, at least in their minds.
(snip)
What’s so ironic about Kimmel’s silly slam is that it does nothing but prove Carlson’s point. If you watched the former Fox News host’s video update, he explained how out-of-touch the current media sphere is with the mere normals in the country. Discussions of topics that people actually care about are shunned while the press actively seeks to censor those who dare break from the Washington consensus.

Case in point: person posting under the handle "Texasgurl24" (I believe thats the opus) whose responses struck me as those of a 'poser', finally loses it with a profile page opus where the individual reveals their true character by things like reporting other posters to the FBI, and "your betters".
They mistakenly believe that Tucker Carlson is having his voice silenced, wrongo!
Hypocrisy at its’ worst.
Jimmy Kimmel, isn’t he the guy who had little boys beg people to buy beer, beg chicks for sex and other stupid antics?
Any he continues to be nothing more than a pathetic clown.
“Hypocrisy. The homage vice pays to virtue’’.
Those that run Foxnews will lose a lot of money.
Interesting read on how much Tucker Carlson meant to Foxnews.
The uniparty is clearing the way for another election cheat.

Thoughts on Tucker Carlson’s Firing
April 24, 2023 | Sundance | 407 Comments
This is a context you won’t find elsewhere {smiles}. The phone has been blowing up…. Context and some details matter.
First, Carlson was being paid about $20 million a year by Murdoch. He had about 3 years left on his contract and will be paid the full contract amount. Carlson found out about 10 minutes before Fox Corp made the announcement. They did not “part ways,” Tucker Carlson was fired.
Carlson will not be asked to sign an NDA, is not bound by a “non-compete” clause following the contract nullification by Fox Corp, and will be free to do anything he wants in any venture. Additionally, he will be free to say whatever he wants about the issues at Fox and speak freely, or not, without any legal or contractual constraints. Keep all of that in mind.
Fox Nation was struggling prior to Tucker Carlson’s long show broadcasts. The entire Fox Corp digital streaming service, Fox Nation, was anchored around the Tucker Carlson Today digital streaming service. Fox News has just torpedoed their anchor, shot their lead dog, destroyed the digital brand. That gives you some scale and scope to how the elements viewed the threat of influence that Tucker Carlson had become.

According to an analysis by http://iSpot.tv, @TuckerCarlson
accounted for 16% of all ad revenue at @FoxNews
And during a six-month period of February through July of this year alone, Tucker generated $37.2 MILLION for Fox News and obliterated the competition.

That is 1 day! Whoever is running Fox needs to be fired. The board of directors can get rid of Murdoch.

If it was not for Elon Musk buying Twitter we would never have seen his video response as it would have been blocked. Foxnews and the democrats would say anything negative about Tucker with him having no audience to refute.

Listen very carefully … Fox News, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post and many others are the past … they’re floppy disk, cassette players, 8-track tapes, phone booths, and pagers. Citizen podcasts are the future.

Scale – Tucker Carlson 2 Minute Video Had More Viewers Than All Cable News Programming Combined in 24 Hour Period – 72.7M vs 53.1M

To give scale to the growing insignificance of broadcast news networks, consider this fact-based analysis.
Tucker Carlson released a two-minute video on Twitter that had 72.7 million views in 24 hours. The entire cable news industry combined, every show on every channel, over the corresponding timeframe had 53.1 million views.
THEY.DON'T.CARE.
Jimmy Kimmel = Establishment Stooge That Shills For Big Pharma
IT is pretty obvious to anyone who has been paying attention for the last several years that ratings and revenue isn't even one of the top 5 things to modern "news" organizations. As long as pfizer continues to write checks, nothing else matters.
