Tucker Carlson FIRED

You know he got that “your office had been packed and the contents delivered to your residence.  I need your access badge and security will escort you downstairs to your UberShare.”  Treatment.  And somebody on the floor discretely filmed it.  

I don’t think he really had an office at the network anymore, at least one he uses. I understood that he’s been broadcasting out of his Maine bunker studio for some time now because everyone hated him and he couldn’t go anywhere in NYC.

On the opposite side of the coin, CNN just shit-canned Don Lemon.

I smell touring duet!

Don “No Soul” Lemon & Tucker Carlson take to the road to do all your favorite hits without a hint of irony.  
 

seriously though, I’m telling my wife this and probably texting a few family members who are over 60 With a history of heart disease.  Before they flip on Fox at 8:00p and lose their fucking minds.  Maybe give them a heads up earlier so they can steel themselves ahead of time.

Redirect -- can you set up a webcam so we can see their reaction when they turn on Fox News at 8 and see that Tucker has been fired into the sun?

Why you gotta crush my daydream?  Well he had to have had some equipment there owned by fox news that they had to come collect.  That had to be a fun and awkward conversation on his front porch.

Back when I read Bonfire of the Vanities, long ago, Rev Al was not generally viewed as a serious person.  More pure grifter.  Seeing him the last half dozen years has made me change my mind.  He is right more than most of us can attest.

Herbert 92X?

Hah, was just joking with some buddies at work about how there's probably gonna be well over a million angry boomers that don't follow Twitter or anything settling in to get their Tucker fix this evening and blowing a gasket.

What did he say about the management team?  Does anyone know?

He had objections to the producers and show runners about the lies. If he had said the same thing in a call instead of texts/emails, I bet he still has a job. Alternatively just him publicly outed as ready to move on from Trump was also probably bad for the brand

Yeah, I’m only learning because of it via this thread.  Ain’t got no social media.  But I’m guessing, yeah at least 20-30% of his massive audience will have no idea until 8:01p local time.  Instead of a guest host, they literally need like a grief counselor to deliver the news.

if I were y’all, do what I do and tweet your family members directly and tell that Disney and Hunter Biden forces Fox to Do this.

He signed off what ended up being his final show on Friday saying he'd be back this week. Apparently they were still airing promos for his show this morning. Something happened in the last few hours. 

So if its not because of the lawsuit, it's either a live boy or a dead girl, right?

I think it's pretty easy to guess.

They probably want to start limiting the number of billion dollar defamation suits against them going forward. He'll probably be replaced by someone safe. 

Hopefully this slaps them back from the abyss of making up pure bullshit 100 percent of the time to actually having to get clearance about what is said on air and having to keep from going off the deep end. They'll still be full of shit but hopefully won't be "inciting insurrection" levels of shit again out of fear from getting burned like this.

The run a bit at the top of the page about him being out but the bottom of the page still lists his show.

You don't work in IT or with IT I can see. Shit isn't Elizabeth Montgomery magic finger snap instantaneous

"I don't watch it live but his clips/analyses have always been pretty good, imho."

True story: no one any of us know has ever watched a single episode of Tucker Carlson. They just like some of the points he makes occasionally. Or respect him for being willing to go against the grain. But of course they don't actually watch him. Never. It's the crazies who made it the #1 show. Yep, that's what we're going with.

MSNBC just announced the debut of LemonTucker 

Motto:  "Just Tuck and join the Lemon Party!"

 

Also, those of you that think Fox did this because it wants to stick closer to actual truth seem to miss all the statements saying it was because Tucker's texts show he drifted too far away from the company line.  The exact opposite.

As happy as this makes me, I'm not getting too excited because I already had the wool pulled over my eyes once when O-o-o-O'Reilly went off the air.

Next douchebag up to inject poison into the gullible boomer masses. The system moves on.

i think they needed a clean break post-defamation suit to keep doing right wing stuff.  it was too easy for someone to respond  "oh really?  says who, the guy that made fox pay $700MM for lying?" in response to a fox story.  now they get some new faces in there, spew the same thing, and claim the new crew is on the up and up.
