Hanson is all that, however I don’t believe Fox fired Tucker in a fit of pique, or anger without thinking it through.
The deep state put the screws to Fox. Him or your network style.
fox has been part of my past history for a very long time
FOX and the insecure ‘daddy and daddy’s boys’ suck...
The era of the “narrative makers” is over. “Truth seekers” are the new growth industry for the media. The dinosaurs can’t get it.
Although my enthusiasm for ‘We report, you decide’ took significant blows during the Obama years and in the aftermath of the 2020 election, they were still my cable network of choice for news and the political opinions of a handful of hosts, among whom Tucker obviously ascended to the top.
This ‘separation’ is a deliberate poke in my eye, and the other one ain’t tuning in for the other shows that my wife and I watched and recorded on the DVR nightly.
Congratulations Fox, you seem to be doing a little cultural appropriation by falling on your sword. I thought that was supposed to be an act of valor, though.
Keep it up until you’ve pissed off every last one of us, then die.
I love VDH, but I have news for him. They don’t want voices like Tucker or any other “truth teller”. They want to sucker conservatives all the while being the “controlled opposition”. Other than a few youtube excerpts I swore off cable TV and Faux news in 2012. Now even the snippets are off limits in this house.
Many here are celebrating the demise of FNC, but no one is celebrating more than the woke mob and Marxist Left. Say what you will about FNC, the other Conservative news outlets don’t have nearly the clout that FNC has. It has been a target for “progressives” from the start, and now they are winning a great victory. Be careful what you wish for.
Agree.
Fox may have trouble replacing Tucker but I heard CNN already installed a clothes store mannequin to be the new Don Lemon.
“An improvement” said the critics.
It was the FBI files on Murdoch.....
Cable news is dying. We have streaming options and a gazillion podcasts now.
Of course they don’t want to replace Carlson, they want somebody that won’t be “popping off” about subject matter they want ignored.
FOX has been alienating me (and I assume a lot of other viewers), when they decided that Trump would not get air time or interviews on FOX, and then went and made sure that the anti-Trump ‘contributors’ got a lot of air time to either bash Trump or come up with reasons why Trump is no longer popular and can’t win the independents or some other made up group that those contributors dreamed up. Contributors like Karl Rove were always anti-Trump, and now get to deliver their Trump-bashing without challenges. Ari Fleischer is another big “Trump can’t win’ basher.
FOX has trended anti-Trump and in reality, anti-Conservatism. Soon, they’ll be just another CNN or MSNBC.
Tucker has zero major corporation sponsorship. Hannity and Laura Ingraham have close to zero.
If Fox figures out how to create a popular center-right evening line up, they could probably triple their ad income by attracting major corporate sponsors.
Apparently, Fox has high hopes for their new young Black male Libertarian - Lawrence Jones.
My first impression - replacing Tucker with Lawrence Jones will be a ratings disaster.
When the founder of a successful business with incompetent sons ages, that business often self destructs for a variety of reasons. Fox is disintegrating. Yet Carlson is not dead. Suspect will will return with something powerful and effective. Hopefully the Democrats and their ilk celebrated a bit too early. Tucker will return and be a big factor in the crucial 2024 election.
Fox now is nothing but another left of center fluff news slot now.
Thanks for the post. I’m a big fan of VDH.
He’s indispensable. Just like the guy before him. Everybody moves on at some point. It’s how life works.
Tucker was no saint.
Tucker was an enabler for the low-life bastards. He knew and went along with the silence and charade of Fox all along.
By court order the foreign owners of Fox have legally funded, could even say cohorts with Dominion in future election fraud...
Fox/Murdoch didn't lose that law suit. They gained a legal partner in crime to betray the voting public.
