However YOU slice it maybe. I'd wager there are a few here who think that Tucker was on pretty good terms with plenty of "swamp creatures" and "corporate media establishment" figures. His cardinal sin was costing his network nearly a $Billion bucks. He'll still land on his feet though, and likely end up making much more in the future than he was getting at Fox.

Tell me you've never watched Tucker, without telling me you've never watched Tucker.

The dude went off on high ranking GOP lawmakers and the right, almost nightly. Whether you like him or agree with him, he was the most even-handed critic of both sides of the aisle. Many on the right and most on the left hate him.

Yep. He was no Hannity who is a complete GOP shill. He was quite the opposite of him

Tucker Carlson Has His Own Theory on Why He Was Fired - If He's Right Even Bigger News Is Coming Soon: Report

Quote:According to Vanity Fair, Carlson has told people he believes his show was killed and he was fired because the Murdoch family plans to sell Fox News. The report cited sources it did not name.

Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch has made his son, Lachlan, the CEO of Fox Corp., the parent of Fox News.

Carlson was called Monday morning by Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and told his show was being taken down and his Fox News email had been shut down, according to the report.

He told those around him that Scott did not explain the decision, telling him only that it was made “from above,” Vanity Fair reported.

The report said that as of last week, Carlson was confident his contract at Fox was on the brink of being renewed through 2029.

A report in The New York Times said Murdoch and Scott made the decision to fire him.

The Times report said Carlson faced “a growing list of troubles inside the network related to his conduct on and off the air, some of which had been grating on Lachlan Murdoch.” It cited “two people with knowledge of the company’s decision” as its source.

Paddy Manning, who wrote a book about Lachlan Murdoch, said Murdoch was the impetus for ousting Carlson, according to The Washington Post.

“Lachlan is pretty sensitive to accusations of a toxic work environment where sexual harassment is involved,” Manning said.

Manning added that many high-profile people pushed out by Murdoch were not fired due to one huge incident but rather “a buildup and then a final last straw.”

Did Fox pay the 'fake' settlement with counterfeit money? Lolz....

They haven’t paid a dime yet, FYI.

Where was the outrage when the lib network and lib newspaper had to pay and enormous amount to the Sandman kid?

Channeling whadabouts isn't a strong position. Even more so when baseless.

Zero issue here with Sandman winning his claims against various media. Funny that.

I was amused at the level of inability to deal with reality that led to the adjective 'fake' being used to describe the Dominion issue.

A sitting US Senator is saying that the US Government should dictate what is said on the news... In my mind two different things.. Lolz..

The oath a Senator takes upon being sworn in:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

This is why I've been saying that we had a soft coup d'etat with the last stolen election. These bastards have no desire to adhere to the constitution, therefore they are not legit.

Aren't several of the people involved serving ungodly amounts of jail time waiting on trials?

Again.. Those people are not elected officials trying to tear down the Constitution.. They're being punished for their crimes are they not?

Funny. It was Trump that tried to subvert the ECA. You seemingly missed my point completely.

Not excusing Schumers comments.... but I find it humorous that on one hand some here jump up and down and excoriate Schumer for the comments above ( and rightfully so) but don't give a flying fk about the **** that their own team produces.

Getting into a frenzy about Schumers comments and steadfastly ignoring your demigods attempt to subvert the electoral count and certification is a pretty humorous look. Lolz.

So Trump told people to storm the capital.. In this day and age there should be video footage, a tweet, something that backs that up..

If you can listen to what Schumer said and not be appalled, then there is nothing left to say and common ground on the most basic American freedom is out the window.

Kirk and many conservatives have been calling out corporations like Blackrock and Vanguard the past several years.

The thing isn’t that but the fact that leftists especially among politicians and media have spoken out far less against corporations like BlackRock because they are more beholden to corporate interests than 20 years ago. There are 3 senior BlackRock executives now working in the WH. Libs may cry about BlackRock but it’s fake when the WH has visits from Larry Fink and there’s a relationship between corporations and the left

To the bolded --- I didnt say that, did I? I suggest you look up the plan Trump tried to get Pence to do. You know, the one where he told Pence --- 'simply declare me President'. Notwithstanding the ECA, and notwithstanding the Constitution..... Lolz.

So yes, when I see people screaming about adhering to the Constitution, I am all for that. No matter what the outcome is politically. And as opposed to some that get upset about it in one direction and dont seem to care when it occurs in the opposite direction.

As to the bolded, that is a completely other issue.
