Far right laments Tucker Carlson’s ouster and loss of its shot at the mainstream

I wonder what kind of dirt Fox has amassed on Tucker? I suspect it's juicier than just some texts mocking management.

The WaPo reported that, in one of the redacted Tucker messages filed in connection with the Dominion lawsuit, Tucker had referred to Fox's senior communications exec, who's a woman, with the four-letter "c---" vulgarity.

 

This is the same Fox exec, according to various news reports, who supposedly kept/keeps personal "gotcha" dossiers on their various on-air talent just in case they and their employer ever end up at odds.

 

"And while Carlson leveled plenty of critiques of Fox top brass in documents that were made public, some of the most sensitive and damaging material remains hidden, these people said. In one redacted exchange, according to people familiar with the documents, he referred to a woman who is a senior communications executive for Fox as a “c---.” (Carlson used the same sexist vulgarity to describe a female Trump-affiliated lawyer in an message previously made public by the court.)"

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/04/26/tucker-carlson-rupert-murdoch-fired/

 

Of course, that supposedly wasn't the first time he had used that epithet against a woman:

 

"More recently, Carlson’s staff culture had come under scrutiny, after a former booker for his show sued Fox News for discrimination, claiming that she endured sexist treatment while working for him, and messages revealed in the lawsuit showed Carlson referring to Sidney Powell, a female attorney affiliated with Donald Trump, as a “c---.”

Who was it that a few weeks ago was constantly banging on about the danger ‘Disclosure ‘ posed to Dominion?

 

Well it turned out a problem for Tucker and now Ted Cruz has a problem too.

I think the dirt the Murdochs have on Tucker is far, far, far worse than some dodgy texts with the c-word. Is it barn animal level dirt? No. But it'd probably be shocking to the "typical" Fox viewer.  And you can be sure Putin has similar kompromat on him. The freakin' guy, Rupert, is 90+ years old. Do you think he doesn't know how to compromise people? I think Tucker is toast.

 

Father Coughlin had 30 million listeners when the population was 130 m.

 

The broadcasts have been described as "a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture"

Who remembers him?

 

And Tucker's a pimple compared to Father Coughlins' volano.

 

 

Hucksters, salesmen, swindlers, just when you think people learn, they disappoint us.

RT can't afford him.   I could see him going to Blaze TV or maybe The Daily Wire. Although being a total free agent is also a possibility. He has been working from a home studio for years now- he never had to go to the NewsCorp HQ in New York, and I can't see him giving that up.  He has a dedicated audience, attracts big name guests for interviews, and is a very skilled writer.  Perhaps a Substack on the side? 

Seriously? I challenge your speculation his headed for a landing at these fringe outpost as anything valuable when in comparison to the three networks who have already fired his ass.

MSNBC Fired 58 Billion value, CNN Fired 8 billion value and Fox News Fired 16 Billion value.

Seems like desperate conclusion IMHO

Not a cheerful time for the far right with this, and recent (and upcoming) court battles.  Still a lot more lamenting to come.  You're going to lament so much you're gonna get tired of lamenting.

Tuck released a short vid on his twitter feed. Oh the irony........finishes it with this beauty:

 

“Where can you still find Americans saying true things?” he said. “There aren’t many places left but there are some and that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon.”

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/apr/27/tucker-carlson-breaks-silence-fox-news-firing-video-twitter

 

Have to say, watching the vid its sounds like he's on a mission to denounce all things US that way it is at the moment from both sides.

 

I feel a podcast on the way....lol

 

That is if he turns down the offer from RT News..........lol

 

Tucker Carlson receives a job offer from Russian state TV after Fox News firing

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/tucker-carlson-russian-state-tv-job-offer-b2327099.html

 

His face is weird. Just rambles too. No idea why people watch TV like this.

Yawn..................not going over that again, we've already debated that along with links I provided.

 

However  where exactly in that post do I claim Tucker as being pro Russian? Its a statement from the Russian Foreign Minister nobody else................

Tucker Carlson said it himself on air himself that he is rooting for Russia

....Still just crickets chirping in Tucker-land.

 

It's like waiting for a communique from Q-anon Q,. Will this be a similar fade out?

 

Where's my promised hard-hitting conversation about science -excuse me, emerging science? That's science that's so iffy that they can't just call it regular science.

 

And changing demographics? I'm going to go out on a limb: Not changing for the better, I'm sure.

 

He doesn't want to talk about emerging science or half pint of guiness-demographics for free.

 

Why would he do that? Has he ever?

Yep, kinda sadly hilarious that he whinges about things he could have spoken about at ANY TIME while he held the largest soapbox in the world ????????????

Humor/opinion follows...

 

FWIW, there is no truth to the rumor that Rupert Murdoch offered to trade Tucker for his own WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovich, and a player to be named later.

 

Putin evidently said that he didn't want Tucker as he was a useful idiot right where he is.
