Nah. You’re just a little brainwashed to belive that these outlets have the widest audience they don’t. They aren’t very broad either. Tucker can get a more diverse audience on his own. Ideally he shouldn’t just be reaching conservatives and that’s the benefit his fox platform had although I suspect it was still mostly conservative. Culturally you want him to reach a lot on both sides. The way to that is to not just talk about politics and I don’t know if he has that skillset

Ha! Funny you should post this.

When I heard Tuck (as Elon Musk calls him) was out at Fox, and Lemon was out at CNN, I recalled Trump’s words advising CNN to go to the right and bring back some viewers. It flashed through my head that Tuck was headed to CNN to replace Lemon. It wasn’t a serious thought, but I did toy with the idea that CNN had listened to Trump lol. As if that would happen!

From this past January, behind a paywall, posting for the headline...

Murdoch Backtracks on Plan to Merge Media Empire

In January Murdoch reportedly decided against reuniting his empire.

If so, looks to me like Carlson's so-called firing has been planned for a while now.

“He’s already been there, done that.”

Along with MSNBC and PBS. So he’s made the rounds. But it would be a perfect fit for him and CNN. He can get out his message to no one who cares about it, cause liberals don’t care about conservative issues, and be hammered by everyone to include the GOP while he is a great sophist for the CNN network. They can spotlight his conservative views while they cut him to pieces and let him ambush Trump who he hates with a passion. Win/win.

Anyone losing sleep over what’s going on in TV land needs to turn off the TV.

You probably would never find him going anywhere with content controls.

Most do really well anymore without TV or cable networks. He could make far more than what FOX was paying him and be in charge of everything he does.

If you read around, he is already getting ideas and numerous offers coming in.

This could be exciting for him.

After 11/3/20 we also went 100% no-Fox. Then DH began to watch Maria in the mornings. I walk out of the room.

In any case, I figure that they’ll pull the plug on her before June.

“Tucker’s rich”

IIRC, he’s heir to the Swanson Foods fortune — through his stepmother, I think.

“Carlson, Bongino, Lara Trump..”

Lou Dobbs and Andrea Tanteros, too. They said things Murdochs didn’t like.

I can hear his laugh now at the press briefing.

“Bongino has been explicit in iterating he was NOT fired. Why perpetuate a myth?”

Bongino explained that he and FOX were unable to come to terms on a contract extension. He wasn’t upset about it, just one of those things that happens.

1. What does it take to get an FCC license?

2. What does it take to keep an FCC license?

3. What does the F in FCC stand for?

4. Do you really think Obama and Biden forgot the FCC when they weaponized everything else?

If you don’t mind Google logging what you watch and when you watch it.

An ex-Fox commentator on NewsMax said that O’Reilly had previously shared with him that even in the Roger Ailes era he had had to accept boundaries and constraints on his reporting due to management. If those boundaries are too much — bang, no contract renewal.

Agree. I won’t watch CNN for anything.

I can go to Twitter. Thank God Musk bought it.
