I found myself, like many on this forum, unable to sleep soundly last night. I awoke hours earlier than my usual 4:30 and read several postings on the firing of Tucker Carlson.
Unable to go back to sleep, I poured a coffee, and went to the premium YouTube channel (i.e. commercial free and the best informational outlet, next to FR, on TV), and watched a few videos on anti-aging, and the latest endeavors of our little Mars Helicopter.
Eventually, I came across Bill O'Reilly's piece on what happened to Tucker.
BOR, says that the Tucker team were taken by surprise. While they were in the middle of working on Monday night's show, basically a rebuttal of the ridiculous 60 Minutes propaganda on Ray Epps, Carlson was called into the office and told he was fired.
I urge fellow readers here to go to the BOR commentary for some other insight.
Tucker's (and Don Bongino's too) firing leaves me pretty empty. I think I speak for many people here, when I say I left Fox the day after the 2020 Election completely. I refused to watch even 10 seconds of the Network, but
then about 6-8 months later, I slowly returned to Tucker Carlson, to the point that I would watch the show live, or the next day via Youtube or other venue.
He had 4 million viewers. His show was aimed at people like us here.
He exposed things that obviously was uncomfortable for the Fox board, (that includes people like Paul Ryan).
He exposed Fauci, Big Pharma, our media and on and on.
So they silenced him.
In my anxiety caused by his leaving, I had the revelation, that what if Tucker returns, on a platform that allows him freer expression, with a wider audience.
Then it hit me.
THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN, WOULD BE THAT TUCKER CARLSON SIGNS ON WITH CNN!
I welcome your comments.
Generally, that’s my read as well. I can’t recall the cases and too busy to look, but my recollection is of one or two high-profile cases which set the precedent:
A non-compete is essentially invalid once employment ends, regardless of the reason for ending.
Again, NDA is a different animal.
Bongino on his radio program specifically said that he and Fox could not reach agreement on a new contract
That ain’t being fired. That’s called doing business
Bunch of weak females
Trump was correct about some women.
We are our own worst enemies
That chart seems to be for 2021, or is it mislabeled?
Cabell TV News is dying. Podcasts are what is big now.
Agreed
We all know this, Poodle….
Do you mean Montana?”

Howie said Maine, but other locations are possible.
Brothers and sisters, Strednik loves Dan Bongino and honors his law enforcement service, but as he says, “I am no Rush Limbaugh.”
Tucker or Srednik’s favorite documented alien (Mark Steyn) could work a national radio show — why not co-host or alternate? The Golden EIB microphone could speak again.
Rush had panache and humor and optimism. Srednik misses him badly.
Then your vanity is dumber than you are. Congrats on breaking all the known laws of metaphysics.
I will over look your rudeness.
They sway over everything to do with communications except the U.S. Mail.
