They’ll just put another liar in his place. Someone even more unhinged.

And what about the rest of them?

Murdoch absolutely DOES know that he doesn’t have to retract anything on air. That had to be part of the calculation to agree to the payoff. My personal opinion is that Murdoch never liked Tucker, just the ratings… and now he has a reason to put him where the sun don’t shine (so bright).

as much kissing as he has been doing, has he seen the sun in the last decade?

Not an apology.

No one in the right wing media structure EVER apologizes.

Ever.

For anything.

My theory is that he left voluntarily so he could work for Trump. Yes, he criticized Trump, but TFG needs Carlson’s followers, so he’ll suck it up until he’s dictator-for-life, and then he’ll kick him out.

Tucker can’t stop lying, and they know it.

Still much garbage needs taking out at Fox but they seem content to wallow in it.

It’s a propaganda move to make room for who knows what, probably something much worse.

Seth Meyers does a really good Tucker whine and I’ll miss it.

Where’s the horse he rode in on?

I’m fairly certain he’ll have a soft landing … there’s a gullible audience that prefers Tucker’s tawdry tales over harsh objective reality.

70 million, you need to create another hero for yourselves, stat!

A no brainer. Literally and at every level for all concerned. What do the kids say with that “… and found out” bit?

wait, do you think they are going to make Tucker the fall-guy for the corporate wide election lies? not that i don’t think he deserves it, and worse, but hopefully no one buys the one-bad-apple bs, if that is Fox’s intent with the firing.

According to The Philodelphia Inquirer [among other news outlets],

“Carlson didn’t enter the weekend thinking he’d be out of a job. The last thing he told viewers at the end of his show Friday night was, ‘We’ll be back on Monday. In the meantime, have the best weekend with the ones that you love. We’ll see you then.’

“The former Fox News host gave the keynote address at Friday’s Heritage Foundation gala, where the idea of Carlson being fired was briefly brought up in the form of a joke by Heritage chief Kevin Roberts.

“’If things go south at Fox News, there’s always a job for you at Heritage,’ Roberts said.

“’Well, you’ve saved me before,’ a smiling Carlson responded."

Wonder what position he’ll fill at the Foundation. It’s supposed to be a [conservative] think tank and charity.

Tucker has a golden parachute. Fox paid him $20M a year and owes him another $60M on his contract. When he floats down to earth he’ll be heading all the way to the bank.

Parachute provided by Milo Minderbinder Corporation, a subsidiary of Trump Enterprises. /s

Too bad, so sad.

What will his following do now, surely after 3~4 years they are no longer capable of independent thought. Gonna be a lot of zombies roaming the streets during prime time.. carrying guns. {eek}

What a sweet moment

I’ve always been nauseated by that TV-dinner trust fund boy with the bow tie. He’s perpetually got that look on his smug mug like he just crapped himself.

I imagine he feels very ill-used.

I wonder if Murdoch got that idea from Putin? Happy landings Ftucker……………..

Guess they got plum Tuckered out . . .

Look I flying, see I’m special!

My Trumper nephew claims that Carlson didn’t get fired – he quit. Despite Carlson signing off at the end of his last shows with his usual see-me-again-tomorrow type slogans.

Nephew responded “he’ll be back soon, better than ever!” Maybe if he takes that job offer from “Russia Today”… then he can really show his true colors…

they don’t apologies for anything they just double down, they learned that from their dear leader, the orange monkey

Dddddddddrop kick him Jesus thru the goal posts of life………

Does this mean that Abbott might NOT pardon Texas’ latest convicted murderer?

Don Lemon was fired from CNN too. Will wonders never cease?

While Don was fired the same day. Lemon is most likely upset Carlson is getting more attention. Carlson will be fine, he can go back to the Daily Caller, or create a new website along with a Podcast. Carlson is brilliant. Yes he is, Braindead, Flashaway, Will. Lemon I almost feel sorry for him, he was fired for what he was supposed to do. Lemon was telling Vivek Ramaswamy that he was insulted as a Blackman that Blacks now have freedoms, Lemon even said Vivek Ramaswamy could only disagree with him when he is a black man and lived in this country. How racist is that, can’t have an opinion based on the color your skin. And we Republicans are the racist. You can only talk to white people like that Don, what did you think your job was about?

Is this what Rupert meant by “the highest journalistic standards”?
