Lawrence Jones, who made history as the youngest black solo host of a program in cable news, is stepping in to fill ousted Tucker Carlson’s slot on Fox News next week. Jones, 30, who anchors “Lawrence Jones Cross Country” on Fox News on Saturday nights, will host in Carlson’s former 8 p.m. slot from Monday as the network continues with a rotating line-up of anchors. **** Jones, who worked in the Obama campaign when he was 15, reported live from Uvalde, Texas, after the mass shooting that killed 19 children and two adults, and has also covered the death of Tyre Nichols, the Idaho murders, nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd and the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on minority communities across the country.

Sounds like you have never really seen Lawrence Jones much on Fox channels. What’s your motive for your comment; is it “if it’s Fox it must be bad??: that’s the extent of your knowledge???

After they wreck something, they rarely report on it as wrecked. Fox will just float around.

I don’t want to speculate either on the motive behind your snarky conflating belligerence.

Try harder Wuli.

Read the entire thread before making assumptions in your post and INSULTING freepers.

Van Jones AND Lawrence Jones were BOTH involved in Barry Barack Hussein Soetora Obama’s campaign.

Are you another typical freeper that starts posting before emptying their bowels, or just a freeper that thrives on insulting posters?

If it’s the former, dropping a deuce will have you chipper in no time.

Try harder Wuli!

I do not care what color he is....but the fact is that he has become a token for Fuks Nudz...his journalistic skills are far below Tucker Carlson’s standard.

But you all will watch him right, cuz he is black.(sarc.)

I’ll watch him as long as he reports the facts and swings a heavy hammer against the woke left. As soon as he starts any woke or CRT crap...I’ll turn him off for good.

Who? Cares.
Fox pissed off their loyal watchers.
Many will not be coming back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I suspect you’re right... Fox pissed off a lot of folks on their 2202 Arizona election night call but I think this is quite different. For many, Tucker was the only reason to ever go to Fox and not unexpectedly, with him gone all the other shows have taken a hit too.

My better half and I feel like we have a winning lottery ticket ... we shut off Fubo, where we got FNC, last Friday when they raised our monthly from $69 to $89 and about all we used it for was Fox and football in season ...

When the news broke about Tucker it freed up our 5pm in California and it has been liberating ... we don’t ever see returning to “appointment TV” again ...

Of course, we want to hear from Tucker, but I think he will have a BIG voice that will be heard on-demand going forward ...

LJ used to work for the Obama campaign when he was pretty young. He’s been very open about that, and it’s part of hs conservative origin story.

Then he became a conservative and was on the Blaze for quite a while. He’s a principled conservative and a great guy (I got to meet him at the Mercury One studios a few years back.)

Do you have any idea of the transformation LJ made from a 15-year-old liberal to a principled, intelligent conservative? You might want to read up on him before boilerplating him.
