Watters is great for newcomers to the movement - the young and middle class. I’m not selling him shot for the niche he’s carved out - it matters. And his fresh takes on the political scene is fun.
That said, FOXNews blew it when they let Tucker go - he was far and away the best FOX had. I blame the same insecurity that caused FOX decisions makers s to fill the network with bimbos under the age of 30 = the ‘Bill O’Reilly’ middle-aged crisis syndrome. FOX should bring Tucker back and put him on at 11.
FR has always been amusing when it decides a media outlet should be shunned.
Articles from that outlet still appear on FR and generate click revenue for the outlet.
Comment threads start and things are questioned, and the otherwise wise head over to read the actual article and be fully informed, thereby yup, generating clicks.
And absolutely never will you see threads listing the outlet’s advertisers and their products along with email addresses of those advertisers to inform them of boycott because of where they advertise. The left does this, pounding Twitter. FR? Nope.
The foundation for any business is do not alienate your core customers. Fox Board of Directors and Upper Management arrogantly thought they could disrespect a large portion of their market.
