Tucker Carlson Leaving Fox News

[Guardian Box]

I consider it more of an almost nothingburger because meh jokes at the expense of people is par for course for the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Biden (and Obama etc) have done far worse in word and action regarding right wing media every other day of the year when it's not a joke.

Yes.

But when such a nothinburger occurs but is targeted at a conservative, the leftists don't go "oh it's just a nothing burger, let's ignore it". Instead, they get mad and very vocal about it.

I think such apathy like you are exhibiting right now is one of the reasons why the conservative movements around the world just aren't as powerful or popular as they could be.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Yes I think you're right. My apathy towards this one moment during the year where people make shitty jokes as a manner of course and pointing out how it actually turned out good for the Conservative movement recently while shitting on every other analogous comment Biden and other liberal nitwits make is the reason why the Conservative movement is failing.

We are in agreement then that all of the world's ills are your fault then :V

What I meant to say and perhaps phrased poorly, is that the left pushes every situation like this one mercilessly, milking it for all of its worth. I think the right should do this kind of stuff as well, being pushy and in your face about the points they want to make at every opportunity, instead of just accepting the status quo all the time. The left is on the attack all the time, I just don't think the right can allow itself to be passive in any way.

 

[Terthna]

Yeah, they can do whatever they want. That doesn't mean we have to like or support it.

Bitching about it and boycotting the station are perfectly acceptable responses.

Though to be fair I've been boycotting all mainstream news for years now, and haven't even had cable in over a decade. I'll catch a couple Tucker clips when visiting my parents, but that's the majority of my exposure to mainstream news. I've given up on that garbage a long time ago.

I wish I has a way to extra boycot fox over this.

I'm getting really sick of people white-knighting for multimillion/billion dollar corporations; as if it's morally wrong for customers to complain when the products they're being sold keep getting worse. It's indicative of something deeply wrong with our culture, and shows how effective the establishment has been in convincing so many that they want to submit; to be controlled and told what to do. What to think. To the point where they don't even consider acting in their own best interests, and instead argue it is their betters' right to exploit and abuse them.

 

[Megadeath]

I think it's inappropriate for a leader of a nation to even engage in such rhetoric, protected right or not.

I think it's unbecoming, but I also think it's sadly so common as to be unremarkable. I'll readily admit that this is on the more partisan side, compared to say calling out the daily mail for their insanity, but I think if anything it's a step back from what we've seen in America previously.

Sadly go tradcuck go broke just doesn't have the same ring to it as does get woke go broke.

Eh wouldn't say it is a step back. I would agree that Trump and Obama engaged at that level. I would even say it is spreading to more countries than just America.

Some Tucker related news and rumors.

Tucker Carlson is expected to make a public appearance in Alabama for a fundraiser on Thursday.

"Carlson is appearing on behalf of Rainbow Omega — a residential care home intended for adults with mental disabilities near Oxford, Alabama, a city in the northeastern part of the state. The fundraiser is taking place in the Oxford Performing Arts Center," the outlet reported, citing local Alabama media.

And according to TMZ, Newsmax has offered Tucker Carlson a primetime slot and in addition floated the idea of letting him program the entire channel, giving him a great deal of editorial control and freedom over a significant portion of the news channel.[/quote]

Newsmax is reportedly interested in giving Carlson his own primetime show on their network and allowing him to program the whole channel, per TMZ. That would give Carlson a substantial amount of power, including making decisions on shows that currently air on the network.

"Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the news channel is doing everything it can to sweeten the deal for Tucker to come on board — including floating the idea of letting him program the whole channel, not just his own show. That would be a pretty enticing deal point … in addition to having his own primetime show, Tucker would have a say over what shows lead into and out of his show, which can be key in achieving bigger TV ratings," TMZ reported.

"While our sources stress Newsmax hasn't formally offered Tucker a job — he can't have formal discussions due to his current Fox News contract — we're told the network execs have made it clear to people around him, they would basically give him a big say in rebranding their channel," the report added.

Never even heard of him or Valuetainment before now. Their website looks okay... just a bunch of podcasts of people, mostly this Patrick Bet-David guy. Seems like it could be organized a lot better. It does have a Rumble channel with almost twelve thousand followers and no videos. The only person I recognize of their hosts is Jedediah Bila who was a former Fox News Legal analyst who was on Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld a lot back in the day, so she's cool.

If Tucker goes there, I can't see him as anything but in charge of the media. And probably rebranding the term "Valuetainment" which does absolutely nothing for me. I can't take a media group named that more seriously then something named 'Daily Wire' or 'The Blaze' which at least sounds like a thing and not some home shopping network dealio.

One of the advantages of going with Newsmax if the offer is true is that they could put him up on all manners of streaming platforms as well as a Cable Channel for all of the Boomers who are still the core of his fanbase.

Can 'Valuetainment' do that? Or reach an agreement with some Cable News channel that can?

 

[Sergeant Foley]

Rupert Murdoch, while being outrageously petty and vengeful, is known to have an extremely thick skin where money is concerned. Or that is to say, mock him in Captain planet, and he tries to destroy your entire family. But shit on him as his number one guy and he laughs it off so long as you stay number one.

So this action is remarkably against form for him in some ways.

Also this is crony capitalism and the sooner private-public partnerships cease to exist the better.

I've heard Fox News has picked Lawrence Jones as the successor to Carlson's timeslot 7:00 PM CST. Something tells me Jones will NOT be quite successful even though he's got a show called Lawrence Jones: Cross Country on Saturday evenings at 8:00 PM CST on Fox News Channel.

I didn't expect to see the woke/broke meme applied to Fox News, but here we are.

I've only heard a little bit about him. I might be misremembering, but I think he got extremely rich as a financial guy (insurance, after watching the video) and decided he wanted to devote his time and fortune to political media. Thus his offer to buy Tucker Carlson.

It's not a terrible podcast. I watch it occasionally when he has good guests on

I think in this case it's establishment/broke.

Your thoughts on Lawrence Jones taking Carlson's timeslot?

He's only guest hosting for the week right? They're still not confirming who will replace him.

His strongest stuff was always the interviews with the Mafia bosses and getting bosses who murderously hate each other to sit down and talk.

Also the parts where he debates his fence sitting co host into the ground are always funny.

But yeah his mob boss interviews are great.

What always distrubed me was how the mob bosses seemed more ethical then a lot of CEOs.

That's because consequences are the best teachers.
