It’s not bowing down to them when one fully agrees with them. It’s collaboration. We’ve known this ever since the late Roger Ailes announced a “course correction” for Fox News 11½ years ago and hired Chris Wallace along with other liberals.

I suppose Tucker will be replaced with Dylan Mulvaney.

As a matter of fact, Faux News has announced his Carlson's replacement....

Nearly a billion dollars in the settlement. That ain’t box office gold.

This comment is clearly the result of you believing the crap you've been told.

Fox was not even liable. They did nothing wrong. Even Alan Dershowitz says they should not have settled and that something is very wrong with this situation.

"Persons familiar with the situation told the Los Angeles Times that Murdoch, the Fox Corporation chairman, was concerned about Carlson’s coverage of the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in which Carlson downplayed events as “mostly peaceful chaos” and promoted the notion that it was provoked by government agents."

Explains further squelching of release of January 6 footage. IMHO, not the government agent part, but because it exposes the lies surrounding January 6.

Tucker firing is the distraction from the Ukraine situation. Something big is coming, i just feel it. Tucker would be right to complain about lack of transparency in this battle. I knew when Carlson mentioned US Special forces already engaged on the ground in Ukraine, someone was in trouble. He’s the only one questioning the actions.
Pray for us all.

The News is really going to be run by the Obama team of Commies.

The Commie Merrick and Christopher advise on Obama on the team.

Needs to be repeated

Rupert Murdoch is a lefty.

Lefties always put ideology over profit. I thought he left Carlson on air a lot longer than I would have predicted.

I doubt that they are saving money. He signed a four-year contract only two years ago, so they will likely be paying him several million to leave.

Carlson’s coverage of the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021


Coverage of the attack? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I don’t have a problem with Carlson, given who his “competition” is, and that ain’t sayin’ much. But he had a chance to do some good things with regards to Jan6th. He chose not to. He and his crew had “access” to the video. The same people who think Musk is a Conservative voice who will expose the Deep State, that Manchin is going to switch parties every time he disagrees with Biden, thought Sinema was going to become a Conservative fighter when she gave up the D, so on and so forth, all thought that he was going to air some decent stuff.

What did the world get? About 20 minutes of the 4000 or 40,000 hours, mostly of the QAnon Shaman? The Establishment and Deep State satisfied the masses with 20 minutes of video.

Shortly after the events of Jan6th occurred, everyone focused on the QAnon Shaman. I distinctly remember people bringing up the fact that he was all over the country during the riots. He was also pictured with folks that some believed were, straight up ANTIFA organizers. https://images.wsj.net/im-286121/social

Well, if those folks talking about how he was bouncing around the country are right, I find it very odd that one can be a QAnon Shaman Trump Supporter and not have the snot beat out of you at an ANTIFA/BLM riot somewhere in the US.
