If he was fired because of all that, aren't they just admitting they are at fault in the lawsuit?

3 times the radio on seek (out between cities when there was almost nothing on the dial) found him. I didn't recognize the voice, but every time it didn't take long at all for him to engage in some form of deceptive speech.

Who Will Replace Tucker Carlson at Fox News? Here Are Mediaite’s Top Picks with American-style betting odds.
Greg Gutfeld (+250), Tulsi Gabbard (+750), Kayleigh McEnany (+2000), Brian Kilmeade (+500), Pete Hegseth (+1500), Meghan McCain (+6000), Jesse Watters (+150), Clay Travis (+2000), Dana Perino (+1000), Tiffany Cross (+75000), Will Cain (+500), Vivek Ramaswamy (+20000), Donald Trump (+7500)
American odds: if positive, payoff for betting 100, if negative, what one needs to pay to get back 100. For odnm = odds/100, the probability of winning is, for odnm > 0, 1/(odnm+1), and for odnm < 0, (-odnm)/((-odnm)+1). I calculated the probabilities, and they add up to 1.42.
Scaled version:
Greg Gutfeld (+400), Tulsi Gabbard (+1000), Kayleigh McEnany (+3000), Brian Kilmeade (+750), Pete Hegseth (+2000), Meghan McCain (+9000), Jesse Watters (+250), Clay Travis (+3000), Dana Perino (+1500), Tiffany Cross (+100000), Will Cain (+750), Vivek Ramaswamy (+30000), Donald Trump (+10000)

Fox News Prime-Time Ratings Plummet After Tucker Carlson's Firing
Fox News's management must be concerned about something *big* for them to kick out their biggest star.
At least one of Fox's competitors has benefited from this action.
Finally,
That's a drop by a factor of 2.

Who Will Replace Tucker Carlson at Fox News? Here Are Mediaite’s Top Picks
Some of the comments:
andrew: "My choice is MTG. She only makes about $174k as a member of Congress. Fox could pay her a few million $$$ and she could rant and rave and get all those Fox viewers back who can't resist watching a house on fire."
She's grumbled about how little she makes as a Congressmember, so that would fit.
OTOH: "Anyone else notice the MEDIAite troll-o-sphere has been missing many of the usual Putin-oriented trolls since Tuckums got canned? Almost like they're awaiting fresh orders."
This Otter Be Good:

I wonder how Mrs Carlson feels about eating dinner more often with this ass.

With an ass and with a freak.
Let's face it, tuning in to Tuckums was tuning in to a freak show. Here you could hear all those idiotic things few other idiots would say. Tuckums was a circus act that appeals to the most basic animal in everyone, no simpler way to put it. Limbaugh, Greene, Hannity, Tuckums, etc. GOP freaks all. And now that the freak is gone the viewership is down, the macabre attraction isn't there anymore so people are staying away from the circus. Get another good freak in there and the suckers will be back.

I must object to the thread title.
"Ass" is presented as being a part of his body. Wrong--he simply is an ass, it's not a body part.

Body parts aside, this should be (but it won't be) a wake up call for the MAGA folks who still think the election was "stolen."
If they were right, and there was so much obvious evidence of "widespread voter fraud," then this should have been an easy win for Fox. Dominion sues for lying about the election results? Simple. Just present all your evidence that they actually did steal the election. You had Rudy and Sidney and Mikey on your network pushing the narrative, so when the attorneys got called, all you had to do was say "your honor, here's the proof...please dismiss this case and find for our clients."
Yet Fox didn't do that. Weird, huh?
Sure, they said all the texts and emails uncovered in discovery were "taken out of context" but never in their defense did they say "yeah but the election was really stolen and we've got the goods." In fact they paid out over 3/4 of a billion dollars to keep the case from going to trial.
But wait! There's more! If they really had the goods, it wouldn't just be a slam-dunk to get the lawsuit dismissed. No, if they had proof that the 2020 election was "stolen," then it would be the biggest political news scoop in American history. Say what you will about Fox as a credible news organization, but there's no way they would sleep on that. Instead of Tucker saying "I'm just asking questions," it would be non-stop "here's the proof that Dominion, Smartmatic, Joe Biden, and George Soros stole the 2020 election. Tonight on Fox, we're preempting Tucker, Sean, and Laura to broadcast a 3 hour explosive documentary."
They'd have ratings that would make the Superbowl sad. They'd make money hand over fist. There is no way Rupert would let that chance slip by.
Yet this is what the MAGA crowd would have you believe. That Fox is sitting on a mountain of evidence that would have not only saved them 787 million, but made them billions more and they sat on it because...reasons.

The fact they didn’t just tells you how powerful George Soros and the Deep State are. They even forced Fox to fire Tucker, the only one who could bring out the truth.

After Trump lost, he hired two companies to find evidence of how the election was stolen. Both reported that there was no evidence that the election was stolen. This was done soon after Trump lost. Trump then knew the election was fair and not stolen. The author of one of these studies has just been subpeonaed by the DOJ.

I've been telling my Trumptard friends that we did steal the election and they will never be able to figure it out because we are that much smarter and more clever. I can't say if it pisses them off because I've said that to three persons and received no response. I'll keep trying.

It will never occur to them that we stole it by voting.

Are you kidding? What did you think all that voter suppression was about? They already know, and they're desperately scrabbling for a way to stop that shit.

Tucker Carlson Issues Vague Statement in Wake of His Firing by Fox News
Tucker Carlson has issued a statement following his exit from Fox News. In a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday, Carlson delivered a vague speech in which he spoke about what it’s been like to “step outside the noise” and how “true things prevail.” “One of the first things you realize when you...
How will the world ever replace every single irony meter on the planet?
I've gotta admit, I'm kinda impressed with Tucker at the moment. He posted a 2 minute rant that said absolutely nothing but platitudes and yet he still come off sounding like a self righteous hypocritical piece of shit. You can't train for that; you either have that sort of talent or you don't.

The politicians obviously know it’s all BS, but the average MAGAdiot still believes it was stolen.
Holy fucking fuck. Just to add a bit of context to this video, Tucker is discussing interviewing someone who is currently under house arrest and has already been parodied by South Park for allegations of being a rapist and sex trafficker in the interests of making said person look more "legitimate" and mainstream.
FOX news is really just a prison. When you couple this leaked video with this article (I don't like linking to Kos, but the original Rolling Stone article is paywalled), the inmates/hosts are starting to get very worried about snitches,
