Fox News is miscalculating in its "emotional" firing of Tucker Carlson, severing ties with an irreplaceable force in new-age populist conservativism, according to Victor Davis Hanson, a fellow at the Hoover Institute.
Not only is the network disenchanting its audience, it gave the leftist cancel culture activists a victory, and created a 3.5-million viewer vacuum that other conservative networks like Newsmax are going to fill, Hanson told The Telegraph's "Off the Script" podcast this weekend.
"The Murdochs are not quite understanding that when you take away somebody who had a greater potential elsewhere and was a precious asset that anchored your whole evening lineup and you fired him in a fit of pique, or anger without thinking it through, you've got to be very careful, because you're not going to be able to replace a guy like that," Hanson said, warning the modern media is "fragmented" and allows many big names like Joe Rogan, Bill O'Reilly, and Megyn Kelly make their own way without corporate media.

I don’t know anyone who watches Faux Snooze, anymore.
Of any age.
Not even elderly relatives....that USED to be dutiful viewers.
As long as it's black, homosexual, and pushes trannies it's a sure "winner".
The only thing Fox has left is Gutfeld.
Pete Santilli’s programs on Rumble (free) are also good:
Thanks and bump!
He is too narcissistic. Constantly repeated himself. Interrupted interviewees with his own take. It got old... fast.
Thanks for the ping.
It’s frightening that you are almost certainly correct.
Yeah, he stole the audience from Gutfeld cause it works so good for him.
Hannity has no idea how to work an audience.
“You are the only normal ppl in New York”
Not true, just pandering.
Yep
Narccists rarely get it.
Great points
News ppl on conservative tv are missing a great opportunity.
When ever Biden says ultra MAGA etc they need to spell it out for their listeners.
Remind them that Biden is saying Make America Great Again.
