Fox News 'Is Dead,' and Tucker Carlson Is Already Living Large With a Job Offer
Townhall ^ | 04/25/2023 | Victoria Taft

Fox News “is dead,” and Tucker Carlson already has his first job offer. It came within hours of the shocking announcement that he and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation were “parting ways.” Who took the biggest hit? It looks like Fox News has.

Though PJ Media suspected Carlson was in some hot water with the corporate suits and the board at Fox News over his January 6 coverage, which ended almost as soon as it started, the news that he was leaving hit with the force of an asteroid in cable news circles.

No one in the digital information space thinks that Carlson will have any problem starting his own brand on any number of platforms, from Rumble to SiriusXM. Fox News, however, took an immediate hit on Wall Street.

Hilarious but true: @TuckerCarlson leaving hit Fox stock harder than the Dominion suit ever did.

Look, if Steven Crowder can be offered $50 million for four years and want $120, what is Tucker worth? Here’s a hint: it starts with a B

And Fox News took a hit in the court of public opinion with the investor class as well.

Fox News has fallen.

Carlson is expected to land on his feet. Former Fox News talent Megyn Kelly told her podcast audience on Monday that Carlson could look forward to “blue, blue skies ahead,” adding, “He’s got a bright future.

RE: What is the “job offer” the headlines proclaimed.

Oh. Glen Beck. Maybe he can afford Tucker.

That was not a loss. That was money laundering in your face. Dominion just got more money for their election stealing efforts. Follow the money. Where is Fox paying this from?

My thoughts also. This was just a payoff to ensure that the communist can state that the election was not stolen. Fox news went along with this to undermine Trump. But would recover with side deal funding from the other corporate sources.

Democrats lie all of the time

Agree with the notion that Tucker will emerge the major league winner of this, and that the fallout might haunt Fox forever. One would not be surprised that on some fine future day, Tucker Carlson will emerge as CEO of Fox News.

Is Paul Ryan still a Fox board member? Might one be interested in Mister Ryan's comments?

Fox “News” is now the real-estate boiler room from Glengarry Glen Ross.

Has Geraldo Rivera, chief Fox narcissist and liberal airhead, applied for Tucker’s job yet? If he doesn’t get the job, his consolation prize will be the Bud Light beer can poster boy

I really can’t stand Sean. He’s a big phony and one day everyone is going to know it.

Matt Walsh is back on. He did a video yesterday stating he’s not going anywhere. Apparently, everything he had phones, computers, all electronic devices were hacked as well. Anyway, he was essentially putting everyone on notice that he’s been in contact with lawyers. Youtube should definitely be sued for a disruption of his ‘making a living’. He said revenue is $100,000

Newsmax had a banner wanting Tucker joining Newsmax.

He just signed a contract in 21 and it wasn’t up until 26.

Since Tucker will be paid til the end of his contract, I wonder if Tucker will be forbidden by contract from being on some competitor’s platform.

I’m not sure where he can go for a mainstream audience that still watches via cable. I don’t think any of the major providers carry Newsmax or OANN.

Exactly. The article makes this big proclamation and then all that is in the article is Beck has been preparing to make Carlson an offer.

“ Carlson would be much happier out on his own. In fact, he said he’d been planning for Carlson’s ouster at Fox News and had prepared a job offer for him”.

The other day there were articles all over the net about how Arizona has the second highest price for gas in the country (California being the first) and ‘HERE’S WHY’ and I read every article online and NOT ONE said WHY (but all proclaimed they would in the headlines).

What is UP with the journalists these days?

That’s what they did with Judge Napolatano (sp). They fired him but continued to pay him monthly (instead of paying out the contract in one lump) which prevented him from getting on another platform until the contract was expired.

All Fox channels are now removed from my channel list and favorites on my Cable Service, so I don’t go there even by accident, now.

( I think it is unwise to patronize domestic enemy operations.)

We subscribed to LevinTV and it transferred over when it and The Blaze combined a couple of years ago.

We’ve stayed and I like it very much, I listen to Deace don’t care for soem of them but there’s plenty to pick through.

Wednesday evenings Beck does his special—much like his outstanding chalk board days. Some real eye openers.

Anyhow, we find it worth the cost.
