From what I’ve seen he’s technically not fired, he still has a contract with Fox News paying him 20 million a year, a settlement has to be reached before he can do anything, he’s hired a big time shark to be his attorney to negotiate a settlement, until that is complete, Tucker can’t negotiate with anyone or be heard offering his opinions, the real question is will Fox offer a full payout of the contract in exchange for a total silence on Tucker’s part until after the 2024 election. We’ll see what he’s willing to settle for.
Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather "offered their opinions" on the CBS Nightly News for years without seeming to do so.
Late Night comedy hosts do not make $20 million, and they have celebrity guests on almost every night, plus major corporate sponsorship.
Tucker's main sponsor is The Pillow Guy.
