Good Bye, Tucker. And don't let the door hit you in the ass.

From commentary his getting fired may have had more to do with pending sexual abuse and hostile workplace litigation. FOX already paid settlements, another could end up with oversight.

From the woman suing women were roitinely called cunt at the show and racist slurs were common.

I could be very wrong about this, but I can imagine Tucker being everything else but a sex pest.

FOX has had a string of sexual harassment problems. Carlson appears to be the immature male teenager he appears to be.

From some commentary. FOX can more than afford settlements over false reporting. Given its history of sexual harassment further incidents may lead to court mandated inrusion into the workplace.

From reporting he is similar to Trump in that he was not involved in the backgroud work. He showed and presented preared material.

Fox Network and culture doesn't give a crap about sexual harassment. What it does care about is that $787 million. They looked at said $787,000,000 loss and nuked the cause.
 
It might be that with the $2.7 billions Smartmatic case, plus other lawsuits pending, Murdoch wanted the impulsive and arrogant Carlson silenced. It will just be safer that way. And Carlson's head on Murdoch's stick might have a sobering effect on those on air commentators presently at Faux.
 
He was fired for exactly the same reason Phil Donnahue was. Timestamp from 2:50 to 7:15 here:

You just do not go against big pharma and expect to live.

Paradoxically it is the same liberals (on this board and other places) who are cheering his demise, yet he was one of the few telling us the truth about big pharma, who are the biggest enemy of the US poor.
 
Maybe for his ignorant viewers he was the voice of reason against big pharma. However the rest of us have been well aware of the issue long before 2016 when he started hosting.
 
Tucker talks crap about big pharma to push a Fox supported anti vax agenda over the Coronavirus Pandemic. April 18, 2023 Fox pays $787 million because Tucker talked crap about Dominion. Friday April 21st 2023 was Carlon's last day. Pretty obvious to me what the cause of his firing was.
 
Tucker Carlson’s disparaging comments about Fox leaders led to his ouster: report | The Hill
Carlson’s private text messages, which were included in public court documents as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ blockbuster defamation lawsuit against the network, show him disparaging Fox leadership and worrying how reporters fact checking former president Trump’s false claims about voter fraud would anger the network’s massive audience.

...
Carlson, in other text messages that were not redacted, was seen badmouthing former President Trump and his allies. The Journal reported that in one of those messages, Carlson told colleagues his remarks about Trump were “said during a momentary spasm of anger, while his dislike of this executive was deep and enduring.”

Why some Republicans see Carlson’s departure as a good thing | The Hill
“It’s a bad day for Vladimir Putin,” a Senate Republican aide said. “This takes one of the biggest critics of Ukraine war in Republican and conservative circles off the table.”

The aide noted that some GOP senators were also uncomfortable with what they viewed as Carlson’s over-the-top rhetoric opposing vaccine mandates, which divided conservatives during the pandemic.

Then about Ron DeSantis and Ukraine. When asked about that country's war by TC, he said that it was a "territorial dispute", but after pressure from Senate Republicans, he backed off.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who has called the Ukraine crisis “one of the greatest demonstrations of good versus evil we’ve seen in our lifetimes,” said Carlson had a big influence on many Republicans.

“There have been some that have argued that he was setting foreign policy for the Republican Party, which I find to be bizarre. Certainly not for me,” he said. “To the primary [Republican] voter, the active participant, the grassroot voter, he’s a person they listen to and has a big influence.”

The idea of someone as weak and malleable as DuhSantis becoming President is … well … we know what that is, because we had one of those for four years. But IMO he’d have a much better chance of winning in a general election than any of his competitors. Yikes.

Go, Donald! You are the hope of the nation, and we are counting on you to lead the GQP down the drain to the losers’ cesspit wherein you reside!!
Sincerely,
Your Biggest Primary Fan

Meanwhile Disney is now suing DeSatanist. Don't mess with the mouse! There will be many entertaining developments to come. Comedy gold for late night show comedians. Disney is suing because they are being purposefully destoyed for speaking out, exercising their 1st amendment rights.

You mean Disney is suing because DuhSantis is exercising HIS 1st Amendment right to trash them for exercising their 1st Amendment rights?
So popcornworthy! I don't mean to pick sides here, but gotta say ... I never had sex with a young stranger in a boat on DuhSantis' property!

one of the few that YOU were ever willing to listen to, i guess. Hint: There has been considerably more than a few people speaking out against big pharma. How long did it take you to find a topic that this piece of shit of a human being was on the same side of as rational people? I bet a while. I can picture you paging through historical topics from his shows going, "no, nope.. definitely not that one, no, no, no... OH HERE'S ONE! - oh wait, no... no, no... wait, he isn't on big pharma's side? ok, well I guess I found one"

Hasty generalization follows:

Usually, it has been my experience that any YouTube video whose title is
“The REAL reason (insert premise here)”


…it isn’t the real reason.

Heh.
I've never seen more of a Tucker Carlson performance than snippets of videos. But, somehow I'd have imagined it supported by the makers of Ozempic and Viagra and such.

Tucker Carlson’s Ouster From Fox Criticized By Russia’s Foreign Minister As ‘Curious News’

Russia’s top diplomat said Carlson’s departure from Fox means the “wealth of views in the American information space has suffered.”
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com

Is also true he got a job offer?

The only difference would be RT would be actually paying him to appear. They've been broadcasting segments of his shows for years.

This assumes the Russians aren't paying now.

Both of those videos are quite literally years old. Congrats on you just figuring it out by the way.

You really have no idea how ignorant you are, do you? You honestly believe you represent the working class whilst providing oral pleasure to billionaires. That's an impressive skill. I'm just confused as to why you are so proud of such an accomplishment.
