Tucker fired from Fox, and he still hates Trump

[Roger Wilco]

Tucker is leaving Fox. Waiting for additional details.

I wonder if this was his expression upon hearing the decision:

 

[Jaskalas]

What, Fox got tired of settling / losing lawsuits?
My local MAGA is going to be CRYING and RAGING all week over this one. Maybe longer.
Tucker is a big part of their lives.

let's hope that Smartmatic still drags his sorry ass into court.

Breaking now!

Pretty telling they gave him no chance at a final show. Just done. No opportunity to go out like wanted and say what he wanted.

Cya, fuckface.

This seems sudden and unplanned - I'll be interested to see what the reason behind it is.

Odds of him landing a gig at newsmax?

 

[K1052]

Looks like a firing.

He'd make a killing if he could get the old Rush radio network back up.
Edit: problem with that is that if you've bought something like a clock radio with AM and FM recently, the AM has terrible reception, because they just don't care anymore, because that audience is dying off. I just want to be able to listen to a baseball game on the radio when monopoly Roots Sports decides to show something else once in a blue moon.

Apparently Fox was paying him $35 million a year - not sure if Newsmax has that kind of money.

 

[Paratus]

Maybe he’s costing Rupert too much? Wonder why that my be?

Wonder if the other night hosts will even acknowledge this? Guess I have to watch tonight.

Could it perhaps be his personality?

 

[allisolm]

Hallelujah!​

Twitter will probably gift him with a verified account. 😡

 

[HomerJS]

I think Newsmax has an upcoming defamation suit so odds are small.

Yep. Something stinks here.

 

[hal2kilo]

Funny thing. As my usual habit when I get up, I check all of the news channels on cable. Fox was trying to make the claim from some survey that people have lost faith in news reporting, that the reason was because of all the other networks are hiding Hunter news. Seriously.

 

[Commodus]

I wonder if the Dominion settlement is the only factor in this. Fox didn't have to oust Carlson so abruptly for costing the station money. I get the nagging feeling that Carlson was problematic behind the scenes (say, a huge fight or sexual misconduct).

 

[Pohemi]

Someone else will give him a platform, he's too valuable and had one of the biggest viewerships at Fox.

Probably wouldn't stop sleeping with Murdoch's sons.

 

[MtnMan]

Almost makes one want to watch Fox to see the fall-out... Almost

 

[HomerJS]

Ex Fox people can start their own network

Tuckems
Dan Bongino
Maria Bartiromo

They ditched Dan Bongino a few days ago. Two down, how many more to go?

edit: HomerJS beat me by that much. 🙂

And he'll be replaced with some just as bad or worse. Just like everyone though Glenn Beck was the worst of the worst until we got Tucker.
