Fox News hosts avoid talk of former star Tucker Carlson after abrupt firing

The day he was fired, Tucker Carlson was nearly invisible on the Fox News prime-time lineup that he used to dominate.

“We’re not talking about him,” former colleague Sean Hannity said in one of the two very brief mentions of Carlson’s name on Fox News on Monday night. In contrast, his ouster was the lead story on ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts.

Carlson was abruptly bounced from his popular prime-time show earlier in the day without any explanation from Fox. It was less than one week after Fox had agreed to pay $787 million to settle a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over the network’s dissemination of bogus election conspiracy theories, and it came as more legal threats loom.

Brian Kilmeade took over Carlson’s hour, telling viewers that Carlson and Fox had agreed to part ways, “as you may have heard.” He swiftly moved on to other stories.

Hannity led his hour-long broadcast with a story on Hunter Biden, the president’s son, and interviewed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.

“You’re ‘not talking’ about who?”

Who? I can’t hear you!

Well, the rogue government finally got what it wanted, no “alternative truth” Podcasts and small independent venues get way more hits for news than any TV/cable outlet. RIP TV Hope all of you go bankrupt.

Reasonable. The only talking people inside the organization should do is with their feet if they choose.

Of course they don’t.

It’s supposed to be a non-issue. Companies don’t want their media people talking about anything they did to other employees. That would be a bad look.

And who can blame anyone not wanting to lose HIS job?

Hannity really missed the boat on this. He should have seized the opportunity to play one of his idiotic tick-tick games.

Hannity on Thursday: Big news coming Monday about personnel changes! Tick-tok, tick-tok.
Hannity on Friday: Big news coming Monday about personnel changes! Tick-tok, tick-tok.

Hannity on Monday: Here’s the big news about personnel changes. I’m thinking about changing barbers.

Let the name of Tucker be stricken from every book and tablet. Stricken from every pylon and obelisk of Fox. Let the name of Tucker be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of man, for all time.

Funny watching a (yellow) *news org trying to pretend the maasive *news THEY made didn’t happen.

It did happen - and Tucker’s zero overhead selfie-vid got more viewers than Fox does in a month.

Fox News. Just another propaganda arm of the Marxist left.

Gutfeld said one sentence alluding to Tucker IIRC on Monday”s The Five. (no names mentioned)
He was immediately shut down and shushed by the panel.

Tried the same thing with Megyn Kelly earlier. Same result.

Gutfeld at least tried to push someone’s button.

I’ll bet he’s next out.

Sean “James Comey” Hannity needs to be shunned.

Obviously, they’ve been warned not to do so...or else.
