About Tucker Carlson

Could the end of Tucker's reign at Fox News have been part of the Fox-Dominion settlement?  Inquiring minds would like to know. Given the curious signals from Fox that it has decided to forego profits for political correctness, is Don Lemon headed to Fox to be Tucker's replacement? David Zukerman

 Tucker’s departure has been brewing a long time. So has his next move. - Thomas Lifson    Both Tucker Carlson and Fox News remain mum on the departure of Fox News’s most popular host beyond the terse initial announcement. While I have little doubt that Tucker was fired because he promised to see viewers on Monday during what ended up as his final broadcast last Friday, there have been intriguing signs that he was chafing under the Fox News yoke and may even welcome the circumstances of his departure.". . .

. . ."Tucker’s former colleagues Dan Bongino and Megyn Kelly already are prominent as streaming podcast hosts, along with Joe Rogan, whose audience far exceeds that of any Fox program. Carlson could go it alone or attempt to add some of these figures and others, like Glenn Greenwald and Tulsi Gabbard, to his platform.

"The greatest insight on the issues weighing heavily on Tucker’s mind as he contemplates how to spend the rest of his professional life might come from the amazingly frank interview he did with podcaster Kyle Forgeard. Selected excerpts, my commentary, and the entire podcast are available here."

Fox Dumps Tucker to Go Woke - The American Spectator   "As a business proposition, Monday morning’s earth-shattering announcement that Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News comes off as the dumbest thing since, well…Maybe tying Bud Light’s brand to a transgender attention grabber? I dunno.". . .


Tucker is to the news media what Trump is to US politics - American Thinker  . . ."Tucker Carlson was drastically different. Like President Trump, he often asked inconvenient questions, such as why the US is spending billions of dollars in a foreign war when the nation is suffering on myriad fronts. 

"Tucker excoriated Lindsey Graham as much as he chastised Chuck Schumer for their unconditional support for a war that could lead to global destruction. ". . .

 Inside Source Reveals Dark Secret Behind Tucker Carlson's Abrupt Departure - Analyzing America  . . .“ 'He was totally surprised,” one source told Mediaite. “He had no idea.”  “It was a firing,” another Fox News insider said.". . .

"It’s widely speculated that Rupert Murdoch and his team are making major changes at Fox News following its historic lawsuit settlement of $787.5 million with Dominion Voting Systems.

"In the lawsuit, Fox News was accused of falsely claiming Dominion Voting Systems caused problems related to voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. This was the biggest media payout in history." . . .

What AOC Is Wrong About in Her Celebration of Tucker Carlson's Split From Fox News (townhall.com)   “Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News, couldn’t have happened to a better guy,” she says in a TikTok video, ultimately concluding that “deplatforming works and it is important.”
