Careful Tom, you might yank it right off......

He's busy licking his Mike Lindell poster.

Man it seems like just yesterday that Congressional genius AOC was pushing for Tucker to be canceled. Wow, it was yesterday. Imagine that. She sure has a lot of pull......

Is Laura ingraham gone? Think she is. O'Reilly's gone. Tucker's gone. Glenn Beck is gone. What's going on over there LOL

lulz, so Fox agrees to pay dominion $750million. Then they part ways with Tucker and they lose $800million in market cap.

Sounds like something liberals who run things, partnered with a rino like Paul Ryan, did to our economy. And now they are doing it to one of the largest cable news company.

Good luck again to Fox if they think that becoming just another media outlet, slightly to the right of CNN is going to keep their bread buttered. The reason they were successful is that when they came on the scene, there was no outlet for conservative opinion. Now that they have been drifting left thanks to Murdoch's kids all bets are off. A lot of folks stopped watching them after the 2020 Election coverage.

Now, their stock is cratering. Love it. Bad decisions have consequences.

The $1B dollar man: Fox stock takes huge hit after Carlson exit

Quote:Fox Corporation’s stock lost $1 billion in market capitalization just minutes after news broke that Tucker Carlson departed Fox News.

Fox Corporation, which owns Fox News as well as entertainment television and sports holdings, quickly plunged more than 5% after Fox News announced that Carlson and the media organization had “parted ways.” The announcement came as a surprise and appeared to catch shareholders off guard.

The massive evaporation of value speaks to just how much traffic the 53-year-old host of Tucker Carlson Tonight drove for the network. Fox News recently announced that in the first quarter of 2023, the show was the “highest-rated program in cable news in the younger 25-54 demo, averaging 3.2 million viewers, 443,000 in the demo and 299,000 in the 18-49 category.”

Carlson was perhaps Fox News’s single most-recognized anchor. His show was the network’s second-most popular program last year, with only The Five attracting more viewership.

Fox News recently settled a defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems for more than $787 million over false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Last week, another popular figure at Fox, Dan Bongino, announced he and Fox failed to come to an agreement for a contract extension.

What part about it dropping 4%-5% just minutes after they announced Tucker was gone dont you get? On a day where the DJIA is flat.

Question for the leftists on the board

When was the last time CNN or MSNBC had... say a Glenn Greenwald on their show? Or a Tulsi Gabbard?

Or anyone similar

I'll say it again though I know some don't want to hear it...most conservative media exists first and foremost to advocate the interest of woke corporations and the rich. Not to fight culture wars or oppose globalism or advocate for America.

Why would Fox get rid of their most popular host? It's not because people will stop watching because they settled the lawsuit. It's almost surely advertiser pressure. Another reason for the GOP to move in a populist direction and decouple itself from Corporate America.

And this is another reason. Corporate Globalist media definitely hates these voices.

Just for comparison, Fox's stock dropped 14 cents per share for the entire day after the dominion settlement.

Fox's stock dropped more than 10times that amount in a mere few minutes after the Tucker announcement.

Panic selling is a thing, it will be back up again quickly.

Tucker Carlson will go the way of O'Reilly. The terms of release likely don't allow him to go to any competitor for a period of time so he'll have to do some kind of podcast like O'Reilly. Maybe write a book or two but will likely become irrelevant in a few months. If only he had n't of shown his true feelings for Donald Trump he might have a future in politics. But his stupidity is shut the door there also.

You keep on believing your own nonsense, TC.

You are insane and nuts. You have no clue just like you have no clue about your love for a war where the leak files proved the administration lied to you about how it was going

Maybe... depends on whether TC wants to keep going or just fade into the sunset. He is much younger than when O'Reilly was when he was let go. Tucker is only 54 years old, O'Reilly is in his 70s.

I didnt alway agree with Tucker---but he did one thing I really respect in a host. He almost always came with a unique take. The only other host who really consistently did that was Rush Limbaugh. Tucker should build a syndicated radio network. Had the Limbaugh Show been looking for a host now rather than a few years ago, Tucker would have been a perfect match.
