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.

No one taking Tucker’s spot has the guts or intellect to expose the corruption and evil like Tucker did. That’s why people tuned into Tucker, to hear what is actually going on in the world. His mocking of Lemmon, the potato and AOC were highly entertaining, but the new “hosts” will not do this. Jesse Watters probably would, but he’s no Tucker. Glossed over talking points will not regain the audience, ever.
IMO, that's the message here.
So what's the point of even watching Fox News?
It would be like watching a fixed football game, where the pre determined losing team can score points but never be allowed to win.
Sorry! A good try though, bringing in Lawrence Jones. Now the producers can say those who won’t watch are racists. But my TV remains dark at the 8PM hour. I am mourning the loss of my favorite show.
I’ve had an uneasy relationship with Fox News since the 2020 election. We’ve continued to watch the opinion shows — Tucker, Hannity, Ingraham and Gutfeld. Also Dan Bongino on Saturday nights. There’s much that we’ve seen and learned from continuing to watch that makes me wonder how those who tuned-out forever in November 2020 managed to assimilate some of these things.
Tucker eventually became, in my mind, the most fearless and important voice of them all, especially since we lost Rush. I have saved many, many of Tucker’s monologues and copious clips of his guest interviews to an external hard drive.
Now, I’m ready to join with those who have forsaken Fox at the earlier time. Hannity presents important voices like John Solomon and Gregg Jarrett, but he often duplicates on TV what has already been on the radio program, which I have been recording daily, even though I seldom listen to much of it. Bongino has his podcast and other content on Rumble. I’ll miss Raymond Arroyo’s content on the Ingraham Angle.
We may make an exception and continue to record Gutfeld, though. Lord knows we need a laugh at this time, and I like Tyrus, Kat, Jamie Lissow and several of the other Gutfeld regulars - Dagen McDowell, Emily Campagno, et al.
I never thought my country would die around the same time I did, but it’s looking like a pretty tight race...
I’ll give him 6mos, then he’s gone.
The insufferable Lawrence Jones stepping in for Tucker Carlson at Fox News next week
Fixed
He admitted it several times on air. He worked for 0bama and then “saw the light”.
I get maybe 2 hrs a day, and that is while multitasking. I’m confined to a chair most of my day. Hardly anything worth watching. I normally dvr what I watch so I don’t have to watch the commercials which are too offensive. I don’t even watch Lawrence, but i catch him on something else. He makes me think. Not much on tv after you’ve turned 70 can do that. I have recently discovered an Australian mystery series but I’ve become more of a book reader. I could do without tv, but hubby, never. I’m embarrassed by what he pays.
Gutfeld for us.
Bongino but as I understand he may be gone also.
The rest. Morning show etc are just script readers with enough crafted topics to appear to be questioning “ slow Joe”
Jones is okay but he is nowhere near the Tuck. I’ve been watching Carl Higbie on Newsmax at 5, he hits all things conservative and 2A.
And you had better watch, or you are racist.
I am racist then because I not going to watch it. When I want to hear liars, I will sit in on a bull shitting session.
I wonder if Biden thinks he’s clean and articulate.
Huge lightweight. FNC’s going down hard and fast.
All of what you said.
All of what you said.
Fox is dead to me.
I’m still a Classic Liberal.
Most Americans won’t watch because they are racist.
I think you have your Joneses confused.
The Fox personality is Lawrence Jones

I don’t want to speculate on the motive behind your ignorance.
