By the end of this decade or shortly thereafter, television networks as we know them today will cease to exist. They will be just another url on the world wide web competing against millions of others.

Network evening newscasts will go dark after the '08 elections and their news divisions disbanded.

The Situation With Tucker Carlson

Sounds like a sit com.

Scarborough is rarely on ‘his” show anymore...No doubt it’s name will soon be changed to ‘Menstruings with Mika’

Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarborough are both gelded lisping lib-lovers who will never draw a significant conservative audience (I tried watching both for a short while and gave up in disgust) — yet they will not draw much of a lib audience either, so their ratings are permanently in the tank. No loss if Scarborough goes next....

So his problem wasn’t the bow tie?

How I long for the day, when I hear the same news about Geraldo “The Fake” over at FNC.

The situation with Tucker is that he isn’t very good at what he does and that is being generous. The only personalities left on the network are there because they couldn’t get a job anywhere else. Maybe Tucker will go back to PBS with his Republican lite style and goofy bow tie. I can’t think of one thing this guy has added to the political discourse. He is the Republican they bring in when they want an easy kill.

Yet another opportunity for Rosie O’Donnell to get her own show on MSNBC.

Sources say the network is going to beef up its schedule with more NBC News talent.

Have they been hiding that 'talent' because I haven't seen ANY talent on NBC 'News'.

Upon hearing the news Tucker decided to hang himself with his bow tie, but alas it was not a real bowtie..but a clip on model....so he put the tie and a stick...made a windmill and got a job as a wind generation turbine off the coast of Ted Kennedy’s beloved cape...bwahahahaha

part of the MSM plan I predicted was for msnbc to push obama up to a certain point in order to hurt both hillary and obama and then help mccain.

It’s almost so perfect. Hillary had to win ohio and texas in order to keep the race going. if the MSM was really going for obama to help him win (as they clearly were before), then they would have let him win ohio and texas and the race would be over for hillary.

let’s see if I’m right...the only way this could work is if msnbc made changes and that’s what they are doing now.

I am supposed to care about what happens to Tucker Carlson.

They gin this up every few months about Carlson’s show being cancelled, so lets hope it actually happens for once instead of being a ginned up rumor.

I caught his show last week for the first time only to hear his incredulity that voters would want to know whether or not Obabma is a Muslim. “What difference does his religion make?” he asked, “Since when do we ask a person’s religion in this country?”. That was enough for me and switched channels.

Tucker gets a new deck chair and is still wondering what that sloshing sound is...

You would think Tucker would be tired of being MSLSD’s token “right of center” political whipping boy.
He should cast his line elsewhere.
