“ WTH has happened to them and why would their money makers, Carlson, Gutfeld, Hannity still be working there>“
Where else would the moneymakers go if they left Fox? None of the other networks want a strong conservative show even if such a show would increase ratings. Leftist propaganda networks cannot be tolerate strong and fearless opposing points of view. No doubt the high profile Fox conservatives enjoy the money they earn. Hence they stay.
The experience of Fox News show headliners who leave the network has not been good. Where are O’Reilly, Megan Kelly, Greta, Lou Dobbs, and others who left? Even those who are hired by another network disappear from the new home in a few months. Fox knows this. Carlson, Gutfeld, Waters. Hannity also know the reality.
As the Dems increase their stranglehold over government and other institutions they will increasingly use their power to force advertisers on conservative shows to stop advertising. They were successful getting many of the advertisers on Rush Limbaugh’s show to quit. They have been successful getting the major retailers to stop carrying “My Pillow” products in an effort to destroy a major Fox advertiser.
Look at the advertisers on Fox today versus the major corporations advertising on the other networks. In a truly free market for commerce and ideas Tucker’s show would be supported by all of the A list big corporate advertisers who keep MSNBC and CNN afloat. The day is coming when Fox will not be able to sell advertising for its prime time conservative headliners. Will it carry those shows with no revenue or will it follow the money and fill the time with progressives?
The GOP is also feeling the money squeeze as pressure is put on well heeled donors. Corporate money is drying up. Billionaires are overwhelmingly backing the Dems. Any young conservative working for a woke company would be crazy to register as a Republican or give money to GOP candidates. Democrat activists study the public voter rolls and campaign finance contributions and use that information to great effect. If you work for a woke boss, she knows if you have been contributing to the enemy and will act accordingly in grants int raises and promotions.
Money is the mother’s milk of politics and capitalism. It is in Increasingly under the control of leftists and has been weaponized to destroy dissent.
It’s really depressing. At this point easily 50-60% of the population wants abortions, tranny/gay stuff all over in schools and society, and just liberalism in general.
And it gets worse every year. I don’t really expect any red wave, maybe a tiny shift at best. If the GOP ever wins more than just one chamber of congress it would be amazing. Highly doubt president or senate will ever be GOP again.
