One doesn’t think Lawrence is a bad guy but one is not going to watch him. He’s on the wrong team.

Not a one of them stand a chance at filling Tucker’s shoes.

And the reason for his departure will be those aggrieved bigots who chose to boycott. A pretty clever ploy by the FNC staff.

Does Tucker really need an old-style cable network? Or could he live on Twitter, making a series of video segments on whatever suits his fancy?

Much depends on what Musk manages to do as far as monetization of content creators.

Meanwhile, Tucker’s hanging out with his wife and kids, taking a well earned vacation.

Absolutely correct!

Although Tucker is big enough to do his podcast, I’m not sure how profitable it would be for him to do one because the market will become saturated at some point and there would be no profits for anybody.

Having said that, if he does go back to a network, whether it be cable or internet, he would be better off if he can strike some sort of legal arrangement where the network is insulated from any legal liabilities of his show but he is still completely independent to do his show.

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

Paul Ryan put an end to President Trump's visits to FOX.

If he was fired, I would tell Fox ‘Fox You, Fox. The non compete clause is Nell and Void.’

I’d just assume watch Lawrence Welk

Ooooh, that's a low blow.
My parents' insistence on watching that BORING program (instead of letting me watch "Mickey Mouse Club") had me running away from home.

I know someone who knew Cronkite personally. Said he was 100% Communist.

They state in the article, that Carlson can’t entertain job offers, because he’s still under contract.
They finish by saying “the wake of Carlson’s April 24 firing”
I know journalism is hard,/s but, not this hard.

She’s not bad looking, but once a DEMOCRAT always a DEMOCRAT (without a 10 year trial period).

PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN was an exception to the rule!
