1. Because he still brings viewers to advertisers. Period.

5. Not actually their motivation.

Propaganda is their mission, not profit, and they'll take a loss, or pay out millions in lawsuits to achieve that aim.

2. He's a racist with excellent ratings

That's the ideal FOX pundit.

3. Good for him. Good message. nt

Carlson is NOT respectable or conforming to respectable society, and most conservatives value both and need to see themselves as respectable and conforming.

4. The boss still signs his paycheck

Carlson is obviously doing the job he was hired to do. But asking that question right out loud on Fox helps people draw that bright line conclusion.
