Effective immediately
Don't know what's going on yet but the effective immediately aspect probably someone got POed. Let the speculation begin!
BREAKING: Fox News and Tucker Carlson ‘have agreed to part ways’ effective immediately
https://twitchy.com/sarahd-313035/2023/04/24/breaking-fox-news-and-tucker-carlson-have-agreed-to-part-ways-effective-immediately/
Edit: Don Lemon out at CNN
-
I wonder if it had to do with this speech:

-
Dan Bongino announced his affiliation ended last week.
Wonder what’s up.
-
Not surprised, really. Just wondering why it took this long.
-
It wouldn't surprise me if he had offers before he got home. He will be on somewhere. Might just be on an internet, but he will be out there.
One of the replies mentioned Bill O'Reilly. Have any of you heard any scuttlebutt of accusations against Tucker? I can't imagine what would lead Fox News to get rid of their #1 all of a sudden unless it was rooted in politics.
-
Funny, AOC was just Friday calling for him to be regulated by the government. Wonder if someone in the Biden admin pulled some strings?
Another thing is the just settled Dominion lawsuit. Maybe Fox blames Tucker.

Dominion Voting Systems for a $1000 Alex.

Wow.
I don't get why people hate on him as much as they do. If you're going for the "ultra-conservative fascist" shtick, people like Hannity are way more in that camp than Tucker. He has always made what I would consider succinct and rational arguments, whether you agree with him or not.
AFAIC, he has always told it like it is. Interestingly, apparently he and Tulsi Gabbard are pretty good friends.
There is definitely something up.

And now Don Lemon out at CNN

Now that makes me giggle.
But, once again, WTF did it take so long to can his sorry, worthless arse?

Regarding Tucker and Dan, I wonder if the decisions were influenced by the younger Murdochs, who, IIRC, are pretty liberal.
Also, Tucker and Dan I believe were appealing to a younger conservative/libertarian demographic. I would think you would want to embrace that demographic, not alienate them. I see that Fox Corp took (at least short term) a pretty big dip in the stock market.

CNBC is quite pointedly inferring that Carlson is out because of the Dominion voting mess.

I haven't read everything on it, but did see a discussion where they pointed out that Tucker was actually calling out that one female lawyer that Trump had (I forget her name) for never having any hard evidence to show whenever he interviewed her.
It seems to me that Tucker wasn't "promoting" Dominion fraud, but rather stating a distinct possibility. I don't see how that's worse than the "no possibility" crowd. Investigating the possibility makes you an investigative journalist.

Rupert Murdoch made the decision to fire Tucker Carlson.
Murdoch is said to be concerned over Carlson's coverage of January 6 including conspiracy theories about government agents being involved.

New rumor is Tucker quit because they refused to let him do a rebuttal episode to the 60 minutes Ray Epps lovefest. That would track with Murdoch not wanting him to do 06JAN stuff.

In fairness to Lemon, they could have just told him he was fired, and left off the part about how CNN is MAGA country.

Perhaps Carlson and Lemon are just trading places. =D
-
Fox News. It’s all celebrity dreck and stuff designed to rile red meat low info voters. No news whatsoever. I figure it is the Murdoch kids manipulating low info right.
Carlson, sometimes entertaining. Tuned him out last year when he was an all in Putin mouthpiece. Don’t gotta be pro Ukraine but he was wow.
Lemon, couldn’t happen to a nicer sexual predator.
Oh, and while we were distracted the smartest woman In DC put distance between herself and Biden right before he announces he is running.

1.There is no proof without evidence.
2. There is no evidence without investigation.
3. There is no investigation without suspicion.
4. But suspicion without proof is paranoia, so shut up, you paranoid conservative.
You can squash the investigation by claiming "no proof" in a lawsuit.
Just sayin'.

Best thing is the one day Lemons had the chance to be relevant in the news cycle he still got ignored for better news. :rofl:

According to the articles on Drudge, he was a lawsuit waiting to happen amongst his coworkers at Fox. A real misogynistic *expletive deleted*che canoe.

Tucker's first statement since the parting of ways. It apparently had more views than even his Fox show:

On the flip side, they are apparently having a big party at CNN. "He thought black and gay was a get out of jail free card." That sounds about right, regarding his behavior.

The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They are completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won’t even remember that we had them. Trust me, as someone who has participated.
Quite an epiphany to have after participating for a couple decades, I guess better late than never though.
I do 100% agree with him and hope that his fans take that message to heart - turn the dang TV off, it's rotting your brain! :old:

Would cause some heads to explode
Tucker Carlson has had at least one conversation with Elon Musk about working together, according to a new report from Axios.
However, the former Fox News commentator and billionaire Twitter and Tesla CEO reportedly did not discuss the specifics of what such an arrangement could look like, per Axios.
