Fox News Faces Boycott Over Tucker Carlson Exit: 'No Reason to Watch'
Damn did the silent majority topple Annheuser Busch already?
Look out News Corp.
Seriously though they’ll probably take a hit in ratings but they’ll plug someone else in and be fine. Tucker wasn’t around for that long, he just managed to thread the needle between being ostensibly pro trump and ostensibly anti establishment.
Boomers who have already jumped ship to Newsmax won’t matter, but most of them aren’t gonna try too hard to access a channel that their cable provider doesn’t carry. Fox will be fine, unfortunately.

Honestly I was really happy when I heard the news. I've literally heard white supremists saying they watch tucker because he argues their cause better then they do. In general there's been so many idiotic debates in American discourse that stemmed from tucker Carlson in some way.
Someone tells me something that's clearly untrue or an exaggeration that's getting alot of buzz in the conservative sphere and there's no way of debating it with them because they just say "I saw it on tucker" then you go to look it up and it's just tucker saying it and because he made it up so there's not even a way to easily disprove it.
Overall I think he was the driving force that made Republicans demonize liberals and the world is going to better off without him.
I hope he doesn't go to newsmax or something and just retires

Also Lemon got fired the same day I love that too. I felt like he also had an extreme contempt for everyday Republicans and had a similar model as tucker as far as demonizing all of the right and exaggerating all the time. Good riddance to both of you

Here's a great and highly entertaining compilation of clips from the Tucker Carlson show that NO OTHER mainstream news source had the courage to air. To me, this makes it OBVIOUS why he got fired.
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

It's not about lying, because many others like Rachel Maddow lie more than he does. And as has already been stated, there are many people who share responsibility for the $700 million, who are safe, so it's not that either.

Seeing Jimmy Dore reminds me of the line from Goodfellas, "whoever sold you those suits has a wonderful sense of humor."
Dore said we fear resource rich Russia getting together with the technological expertise of Germany, and that's why the U.S. blew up the pipeline. Let's talk reality here. How much has Germany increased their contribution to NATO since Russia started this war?

Rachel Maddow, still famously hosting her own show.

Let's try this.
Proof, or make believe?

Maybe tucker just ask questions in a leading fashion with the right picture behind him and just gets you to do his lying for him. Even though his tweets show they knew what they were promoting was not true but he cared more about stock prices. Come on man, you admit you don't keep up with news in other threads but are willing to say somebody is talking trash with out even knowing the basics? Everybody knows about his tweets. Maybe you should show some evidence he tells the truth by countering his own tweets rather then try and turn it around in an effort to put somebody on the defensive. Everybody else knows about them and don't need to counter them, only somebody who does not believe them needs to say why. Don't cha think? Cheers gww

Please, too easy:
Tucker Carlson stated on June 10, 2022 in in a TV segment: “Not a single person in the crowd on January 6 was found to be carrying a firearm. Not one.”
Tucker Carlson stated on July 14, 2021 in a TV segment: “It now appears there actually was meaningful voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia, last November. That is not a conspiracy theory. It's true.”
Tucker Carlson stated on February 16, 2021 in a TV segment: “Unbeknownst to most people, the Green New Deal came to Texas; the power grid in the state became totally reliant on windmills.”
Tucker Carlson stated on December 15, 2019 in an interview with the Atlantic: Says the Potomac River "has gotten dirtier and dirtier and dirtier and dirtier. I go down there and that litter is left almost exclusively by immigrants."

Don't forget the time Fox argued the show didn't have to be factual because it's entertainment.

Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes.

Number of "reasonable" viewers who actually watch Fox News = 0.
