SOURCE: Fox's CEO, Lachlan Murdoch, is considering suspending or firing @TuckerCarlson for insensitive reporting on new court documents that show George Floyd had a fatal level of fentanyl in his system when he died. (developing)
2/ Fox's Lachlan Murdoch heard about Tucker Carlson's 'attack' on George Floyd from Hillary Clinton's former spokesmen Jesse Lehrich who said, "Tucker Carlson smeared George Floyd tonight, claiming he 'almost certainly died of a drug overdose.' (cont)
3/ "...it sickens me that the Floyd family has to endure this depravity, and I hope they sue Tucker & FOX for $3B, which is apparently the only thing that changes their behavior."
Jesse Lehrich:-

Since when is reporting on a case speaking I’ll of the dead. He was presenting facts.
Anyone with an ounce of sense and curiosity already knew this about George Floyd. The Hennepin County autopsy has been available for a long time.
What is sad is that this has been largely ignored by the media.
From the autopsy: No life-threatening injuries. III.B in particular: “No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal structures”

The knee on neck was a PD-approved restraint.
So, you haven’t been watching him lately it seems.....

The left leaning network is looking for an excuse to get rid of him. Normal, sensible people are getting thrown off the air and turned into non-persons.
The left has shown its true nature. When it gets into power it becomes repressive and fascistic. It eliminates its enemies.
LOL. Tucker Carlson “smeared” George Floyd by saying he had a fatal level of fetanyl in his system when his family is saying he had, what, only a “recreational level” of a fentanyl in his system? You can’t make this s—t up.
With that said, getting fired by Fox could be the best thing to happen to Tucker Carlson under the circumstance, as Fox News no longer has credibility with what were Tucker’s core audience.
Imagine owing someone $3B because you expressed an opinion.
The final nail in the coffin of a dead channel.
He must get free tv dinners.
He is getting portly.
“Tucker Carlson smeared George Floyd tonight, claiming he ‘almost certainly died of a drug overdose.’
Uh, the coroner report would be Tucker’s defense...
George Floyd....drug free for 8 months and counting.
What part of Tucker's statement was incorrect?
I agree.
Hey murdoch, LET OUR PEOPLE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was part of his audience but I haven’t watched him since the week after the election. Even if you like him his ratings help pay the salaries of a lot of people who hate everything we stand for. If he went to a place like OAN I might watch him again but not as long as he’s associated with Fox.
The meth that Floyd was on, caused his heart to race and increased his already high blood pressure. With COVID-19, his lungs were compromised for their intake of oxygen. Fentanyl further compromised his lungs by depressing his ability to breathe. By restricting the blood flow in the carotid artery, the minimal oxygen his lungs were providing could not get into the brain. This stopped his breathing and his racing heart was cooked.
I am surprised that Tucker Carlson held on this long.
The writing was on the wall when Bill O’Reilly got his walking papers.
I lost a lot of faith in FBN when Trish Reagan was so suddenly gone. And most recently Lou Dobbs. Maria Bartiromo next?
“Strategic Restructuring” -but to what and why? CNN and MSDNC were already at the bottom, is there room there?
Once the Murdoch sons and Paul Ryan get rid of Carlson, Hannity and Ingraham Fox News will become CNN Lite.
” And if it is true that he most likely died of a drug overdose...why shouldn’t you be able to say that?”
Because the Ministry of Truth does not allow it.
DO IT! I’d love to be able to watch Tucker again. I can’t do that as long as he’s on Fox.
Fire him and he’ll be snapped up by OANN or Newsmax and will be a huge ratings driver for either one.
