Shake-up in scandal-ridden cable news:
Shake-up in scandal-ridden cable news: Fox Tuckered-out; CNN soured on Lemon | Sharyl Attkisson . . ."Some have linked the Fox departures to a Fox News settlement of a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion sued Fox for defamation saying that the news outlet's reporting on 2020 voter fraud questions wrongly pointed the finger at Dominion voting machines. Fox reportedly agreed to pay Dominion $787 million to settle the case.
"In 2020, CNN settled a defamation suit filed by a student, Nicholas Sandmann. Sandmann says the network defamed him in their unfair reporting that wrongly portrayed him, then a high-school student, as an aggressor in a videotaped incident outside the US Supreme Court. He had sought $275 million in damages. The Washington Post also settled with Sandmann.
"Last December, CNN fired another of its anti-Trump stars: Chris Cuomo. That after it was revealed that he advised his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, about sexual harassment allegations against Andrew that ultimately forced his resignation from the governor's office.
BREAKING: Conservative News Outlet Hints At Huge Offer For Tucker Carlson (trendingpoliticsnews.com) . . ."In addition to the offer from OAN, Carlson has also received an invitation from Glenn Beck to join TheBlaze, which he owns. Beck, who left Fox News in 2011, stated that he and Carlson had “become friends” over the years and pledged that Carlson would have creative freedom.
“ 'We would love to have you here. You won’t miss a beat. And together, the two of us will tear it up. Just tear it up,” Beck said shortly after the news broke. TheBlaze founder went on to say that the move was “suicidal” for Fox.". . .

Maybe This Isn’t About the Laptop Anymore
The Hunter Biden story began as a story about Joe Biden’s wayward son. It turned into a story about censoring media. It might yet end up being a story about something much bigger. Or it might not. But it was never a “red herring,” and it’s no joke.
Abe Greenwald, Commentary Magazine "Hunter Biden’s name has become something of a tragicomic buzzword. He’s often invoked as a punchline in jokes about drugs and hookers or as a dig at right-wingers who believe his abandoned laptop holds the encryption key to establishment corruption. He’s a one-man meme machine whose image is captioned and re-captioned for laughs. And he himself has dismissed the investigations into his international business affairs as a “red herring.” But the reality beneath the Hunter Biden spectacle has always been deeply serious, perhaps involving high-level influence peddling and flatly producing a partisan disinformation campaign that suppressed an important news story. This week saw two developments in the case that have the potential to steer us deeper into very unhumorous territory.
"First, on Wednesday, a lawyer for the IRS special agent supervising the Hunter Biden tax probe sent a letter to Congress requesting whistle-blower protection for his client to air allegations that the case has been mishandled and contaminated by political favoritism. As the New York Times reports, the agent claims to have “information that would contradict sworn testimony to Congress from a senior political appointee, an apparent reference to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland,” who had vowed in March that there would be no political interference in the investigation.
"Second, on Thursday, Chair of the House Judiciary Jim Jordan revealed that former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morrell received a call from Joe Biden’s campaign in October 2020, days after the New York Post broke the laptop story. Morrell testified to the House Judiciary Committee that the call from Antony Blinken, then Biden’s senior campaign official, “triggered” Morrell’s organizing a letter signed by 51 intelligence officials incorrectly characterizing the story as Russian disinformation. That letter itself would become the spine of the American disinformation campaign to exculpate Joe and Hunter Biden and discredit the Post’s reporting. It was cited by online platforms as justification for suppressing the story and by Joe Biden himself in a debate with Donald Trump.". . .
Biden Played the Age Card Against His First Senate Opponent –
". . .“Cale [Boggs] doesn’t want to run, he’s lost that old twinkle in his eye he used to have,” Biden said of Boggs, who had originally wanted to retire but was persuaded to run for reelection.
"Biden used his opponent’s age against him in a way that was so explicit, one local reporter dubbed his approach, “Dear old dad.”
"Biden was running to become one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate. Now, the president is already the oldest person ever to serve in the office of the presidency, and, if reelected, would leave office at the age of 86. That would best the next oldest president by more than 9 years if he served a full second term.
The president’s age has been “omnipresent” in nearly every conversation, CNN reported in February, though that notion was disputed by a White House spokesperson.". . .

Report: Tucker Carlson Reveals He Thinks He Was Ousted Because Murdoch Family Plans To Sell Fox News (resistthemainstream.com) "Vanity Fair reported that famed former Fox News host Tucker Carlson believes he knows why Fox News Media terminated his contract. Cryptically, the veteran newscaster noted it will be a huge news story if he is correct.
"According to Vanity Fair, Carlson believes “the Murdoch family is planning on selling the network.”
"Vanity reported: “Carlson has told people he doesn’t know why he was terminated. According to the source, Scott refused to tell him how the decision was made; she only said that it was made ‘from above.’
"Carlson said he believes Fox News executives “took his show off the air because the Murdoch children intend to sell Fox News at some point.”
"Former Fox News contributor Candace Owens seemed to agree with Carlson, writing on Twitter:
" 'The theory that Fox News is gearing up for a sale makes sense. They couldn’t do that with a pending lawsuit, so they would have settled. Also puts into perspective why they would have gotten rid of the network star. Real life Succession.”. . .

Tucker Carlson Firing Shows Elites, Not Remotes, Control - The American Spectator | USA News and Politics "Firing the top-rated host on cable news represents a rebellion of the elites against the choice of viewers."
Reparations – Who Should Pay
Court records shows that it was the Democrats that supported the Dred Scott Decision. The decision classified Blacks and property rather than people. It was also the racist Jim Crow practices initiated by Democrats that brought about the two landmark cases of Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v. The Board of Education….
Religio-Political Talk (RPT) Mark Levin starts his show by reading from a 2004 article written by the Rev. Wayne Perryman entitled, “The Racist History of the Democratic Party.” It is also summed up in these three links, one to my VIMEO, and the others to my site (w/lots of media):
- The Rev. Wayne Perryman On Democratic Racism (RUMBLE);
- Did The Party’s Switch? (RPT);
- Slavery Made the South Poor, Not Rich (RPT).
"IF the narrative is pushed that reparations are to be given, it should be emphasized that one Party should repay them."
History News Network "History reveals that every piece of racist legislation that was ever passed and every racist terrorist attack that was ever inflicted on African Americans, was initiated by the members of the Democratic Party. From the formation of the Democratic Party in 1792 to the Civil Rights movement of 1960’s, Congressional records show the Democrat Party passed no specific laws to help Blacks, every law that they introduced into Congress was designed to hurt blacks in 1894 Repeal Act. The chronicles of history shows that during the past 160 years the Democratic Party legislated Jim Crows laws, Black Codes and a multitude of other laws at the state and federal level to deny African Americans their rights as citizens.
"History reveals that the Republican Party was formed in 1854 to abolish slavery and challenge other racist legislative acts initiated by the Democratic Party. . ."

BREAKING: New Court Document Leak Reveals Driving Force Behind Fox News’ Decision to ‘Move On’ from Trump
Trending Politics "A new court document leak from the lawsuit between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems sheds new light on the network’s decision to ‘move on’ from Donald Trump.
"The document leak comes amidst a significant shakeup to the talent aired on the network. Tucker Carlson, the most-watched host on primetime cable news, was pushed out of his position as host of the flagship show on the network in the 8 P.M. slot.
"While Fox News did not provide immediate explanation about why the network decided to part ways with its top primetime host Tucker Carlson, reports began to surface that Rupert Murdoch was behind the decision.
“ 'Carlson’s exit is related to the discrimination lawsuit filed by Abby Grossberg, the producer fired by the network last month,” the L.A. Times earlier reported.
“ 'Murdoch is also said to be concerned over Carlson’s coverage of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, in which the host has promoted the conspiracy theory that it was provoked by government agents,” the report added.
"In the background, however, is a looming presence that has become quite influential with the Fox News’ top brass: Former Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan.
"According to a recently leaked court document from Dominion Voting System’s lawsuit against Fox News, Ryan has been an influential force behind the network’s decision to move on from Donald Trump.". . .

"Other footage presented by Carlson showed Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick walking around after the riot, contradicting liberal claims that he was killed during the violence. Tucker also reported on evidence that suggested that federal agents may have been the ones who incited the violence. According to court documents, the undercover agents seen in body cam footage were not only observing but actively encouraging the protesters with chants like “Go! Go! Go!” “Stop the Steal!” and “Whose House? Our House!' ”. . .

More Family Members Named In Biden Pay-For Play-Scandal -
. . ."If you remember, Treasury fought like HELL to keep GOP oversight from getting their hands on the 150 or more suspicious activity reports connected to the Biden family. But now that the GOP holds the gavel, they’ve run out of ways to stonewall. Members went to the Treasury building and reviewed a thick stack of information incriminating to the Biden family, with none other than Joe Biden serving as the hub of the wheel around which the others turned.
"Rep Comer was on Larry Kudlow’s show, explaining the visit. Here’s the short version where he’s talking about the thousands of pages of financial documents that implicate more family members than previously mentioned in what appears to be pay-for-play politicking, as well as a number of shell companies and exciting details.

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."
