Can a network set up Tucker with total control of his show, without also taking on the liability that he might pose?

Not much of a Libertarian if he’s willing to be handled.

Yep.

I’m sure Fox’s ratings - especially in Tucker’s former time slot - will soar through the roof with the new, improved replacement.

I’m sure my family members who loved Tucker will re-set their timers again.

Well Larry Jones is a nice enuff guy.

But, he ain’t Tucker.

The Murdoch Morons jumped the shark and have gone woke.

Go woke, go broke.

I am so... confused. Watch the news and you’d think blacks and whites hate each other. Watch anything else and you’d think everything is so inclusive/wonderful.

Blacks are acting white and whites are now big dumb whitey. All the interracial couples signaling harmony.

Time to stream everything.

Newsmax is a pretty good channel even without Tucker. Eric Bolling does a fine job at 8:00 PM. He's not Tucker but in general Newmax is very watchable and professional. It has continually improved and can play ball with the "big guys" now.

Dear Fox News,

You can use your own quarter to call someone who cares.

I don’t care if they select Donald Trump. I won’t be watching shows on Fox.

A 30 year old in these times has zero credibility to be anything more than a roving reporter. I think Fox, and the likes of Limbaugh’s amateur replacements, et al, are trying to appeal to under 35’s, and to also pretend the over 50 set doesn’t even exist.

Whatever. I’m glad a lot of you have finally stopped tuning Fox in, I hope you stay tuned out, and Fox should die the squeamy death it has deserved for a long time.

Just watch how libertarian his positions are now that the Murdoch spotlight is on him.

From what I’ve seen he’s technically not fired, he still has a contract with Fox News paying him 20 million a year, a settlement has to be reached before he can do anything, he’s hired a big time shark to be his attorney to negotiate a settlement, until that is complete, Tucker can’t negotiate with anyone or be heard offering his opinions, the real question is will Fox offer a full payout of the contract in exchange for a total silence on Tucker’s part until after the 2024 election. We’ll see what he’s willing to settle for.

Walter Cronkite and Dan Rather "offered their opinions" on the CBS Nightly News for years without seeming to do so.
