Glen BecKKK, Billo Reilly, etc. One liar after another. The face changes, but the fascist propaganda stays the same.

Will we see him depart in a white Bronco. Obviously a White one. More likely a white stretch limo in a white tux with a 6 pack of White Claws.
Wait till the cancel Culture squealing monkeys find a camera. Those two will have dogs howling world wide. Look after your dogs today. They are gonna be stressed.

(10,915 posts)they both seem to think alike.
If we stared a rumor on Twitter about a new Carlson Show, it would light the twitterverse.
Also, I'd like to keep Carlson out of San Diego if at all possible.
He went to La Jolla Country Day and OAN is right down the I-5 from La Jolla (For those San Diegan's amongst this forum, OAN is just north of the Morena Blvd. CostCo, just past Jutland Dr. You can see all the satellite dishes passing it on I5)
So my thought is that OAN would try to hire native San Diegan Carlson, probably give his a share in the company, and build it into another big time RW Gaslighting outfit.

(1,605 posts)who is also suing Fox, was affiliated with Carlson's show. Bet some of the evidence she has is extremely damaging to both Carlson and Fox. Have to wonder if that played some part in his firing.So many lies, so little time.

(19,918 posts)Fox News and Tucker Carlson have parted ways. The rest of the network seems thrilled.
Pure joy, one Fox reporter told Rolling Stone of their reaction to the split. No one is untouchable. Its a great day for America, and for the real journalists who work hard every day to deliver the news at Fox.

(13,292 posts)Especially the reporters sticking their microphones in his face: "How does it feel to be fired?" "Do you feel like a loser?" "Do you regret all the lies you told about the election?" "How did Fox tell you that you'd been fired? By Tweet or face-to-face?" "Are you going to live in Mar-A-Lago?"
moondust
(21,352 posts)Comment on TV was that getting rid of him could help Fox in the Smartmatic case. "We got rid of the bad guy! Now let's all just move on!"
Maybe, but they could always hire him back after that case is settled.

(8,175 posts)So Fox 'fires' Tucker.
Innocent Tucker, who just puts his brain in neutral and mouths the words on the teleprompter to draw his pay, words written by script writers who take their direction and inspiration for Murdoch?
Yeah, no, I'm not buying it.
Fox needs to do better than that to bury the past.
How about Fox fires all the talking heads who have spoken any lies over the last 10 years, then 'fire' anyone with the surname Murdoch, and change its name to something else reflecting its true nature? The H.A.T.E. channel, or DCFI (distribution channel for false information), or something.
Better still, Fox should shut down all their media (propaganda) communications, with the last person to permanently leave, to turn off all the lights and lock the door behind him/her.
But yeah, 'Tucker did it all by himself so we fired him and now everything is now fine' doesn't work for me.
Token effort, Fox. Go away and die!
Let the confusion and hate you pushed for years die out without you feeding it. Make America a better place!
