Tucker Carlson is out of Fox News

Kind of suspicious right after the Dominion lawsuit settlement. I wonder if that was part of the deal?

Latest rumors are he wanted to address the Dominion lawsuit on his show and also counter the 60 Minutes narrative on Ray Epps broadcast last night. Management said no and he quit.

@eli1601 @eli1601 good update. thank you! not surprised in the least bit. I honestly think it w as part of the dominion lawsuit. get rid of tucker who was quite vocal.

@eli1601 I was looking forward to his counter report on the Epps business.
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@eli1601 that makes sense. It was pretty obvious that 60 minutes was pushing that Epps story beyond the believable.

@Heartlander Epps not very believable. Is out there instigating intrusions into the Capitol, is charged with nothing. FBI says he's not a "source" or an "employee." How do they define these terms? It's obvious Epps was up to something. Fox has caved and let us down again. For history, see: Fox dumps Bill O'Reilly. Get too good and too controversial and Fox won't have your back. But Fox is not the conservative movement. Hardly. Fox was chomping at the bit to call Arizona for Biden in '20.

@graphite yes, but still a collision of everyone taking the path that they think best served their best interest. Sponsors wanting to distance themselves from contentious issues, networks and their profits, the FBI trying to manage the news, etc. Meanwhile, viewers are abandoning mainstream TV. And, very possibly, Tucker may find a bigger audience on YouTube.

@Heartlander YouTube will censor him, too. Owned by Google, which serves the Democrat Party.

@graphite Newsmax, maybe?
graphite · 61-69, M
@eli1601 Newsmax certainly doesn't have the money Fox has.

FWIW, say stuff YouTube doesn't like and they "de-monetize" you. There are people on there using code words because using the real words for some terms triggers demonetization

@graphite Newsmax could tie his compensation into ratings increases. If he brings a significant increase that would enhance their bottom line and his.

@graphite true. Channels that curse money was taken with no warning
