I remember when Bill O'Reilly was the boogeyman but he tripped on his dick and was replaced with Tucker.
Soon another will be slotted in place repeating the formula of saying dumb stuff for money.
Taxing out control check with the first female Captain at American Airlines I flew copilot for. Ma'am watch your knees and nuts…..realizing I had just messed up she loudly and quickly corrected me on her version, "WATCH YOUR TITS AND CLITS there BOY! "
Boobert or a female version of Tuck Tuck will be installed.
Meet the new boss / Same as the old boss
"Won't Get Fooled Again," great song by The Who, where that line originates.
Also Queen, with "Another One Bites the Dust."
Buh-bye, Tucker. Thanks for playing.
Next white racist up!
Bets on Candace Owens as his replacement?
Watters. I think that they are tight company and will chose someone proven and in their tent who owes everything to them. Owens is married to UK old tory wealth and a wild card Murdoch wont hire that.
Yeah, Jesse Watters is the Tucker wannabe and served as the warm-up act before Carlson.
Of course they will replace him with someone else but it does chip away at the core of Fox personalities who promulgated the Trump lies. They might be taking proactive measures against the next lawsuit with Smartmatic. Instead of 1.6bil, they want 2.6bil. Tucker will probably be picked up by one of Fox's competitors but he is going to be living in the shadows for a while. Gut reaction is that it weakens Fox with their most extreme viewers.
Ding Dong, the Fucker's gone!!! Witch old Fucker. The Wicked Fucker. Ding Dong, the wicked Fucker's gone!!!
Not to be outdone, Don Lemon is out at CNN. I'm starting to get nervous about my Soros contract for posting on Pols!
Now if only someone would call Chuck Todd into the office this morning for a chat?
I’m not upset by this at all. Every time I have seen Don Lemon “reporting news” what I was getting was a left-wing editorial.
I want my neutral, news-based, nonpolitical, the people I automatically went to when something big was happening in the world, CNN back and this is one step in that direction. They still need to make many more.
As for FOX, were they ever an actual news team? I can’t recall.
He wasn't fired for being too left-wing; he was (ostensibly) fired for making an offhand remark about the female Presidential candidate Nikki Haley being "not in her prime" – which could be construed as being about her age and reproductive status.
So that remark was in February, and he continued to work at CNN for two months after that remark, it's pretty mild, and to my mind not sufficient grounds for firing Lemon. Ratings on his morning show were slipping, though.
And yes, Lemon is an outspoken progressive. All of the above are factors, with the ratings slide being probably the biggest one.

To be honest, I couldn't care less about Lemon though I hope he lands somewhere. The only reason I watch CNN anymore is for Anthony Bourdain re-runs and those hour-long flashback shows they run on 60s and 70s music. News personalities are all for the most part completely replaceable.
“I want my neutral, news-based, nonpolitical”
Dano, then you can’t watch any of the big three party organs: CNN, Fox, and MSNBC.
Frankly, I would have preferred CNN keep Lemon and see MSNBC get rid of Joy Reid.
None of them are news outlets. Subscribe to both NY Times and WSJ – a little to the left and little to the right.
GrannieOakley seems a little nervous this morning?
Maybe she shouldn't be nervous, and should just consider a change of career. There are fresh openings at Fox and CNN (I've heard CNN has moved rightward)!
I notice that she's not promoting herself as a great representative for her district – just a warm body for the Republican side. "hold this seat and GROW our House majority".
Probably because she's a crappy representative for her district. Appeal to party loyalty is all she has. Unfortunately for her, Republicans are now a distant second party in her district. Unaffiliated: ~222,000, Republican ~150,000, Democrats ~115,000, with various minor parties making up the remainder. She's not really making a case for her candidacy with unaffiliated voters – again, because she can't.
My money is on Boobert taking Tucks Tucks place eventually. I mean really he is too smart for this kind of Hungarian love of jesus and country in the simplest of terms.
I doubt Boebert could be coherent even for a one hour weekly show, let along five nights/hours per week, week after week.
Say what you want about Carlson. At least he's reasonably intelligent, which Boebert isn't.
Point taken but the AUDIENCE/RATINGS has a voice…. they are dumber than rocks.
Every decision Fox makes is driven by the bottom line. The Murdochs made a simple calculation. What does Tucker cost – salary, litigation costs, lost ad revenue – versus what does he bring in – ratings. They have decided that they can replace him with someone that will bring in adequate if not quite as high ratings, at a lower cost. They are cold, heartless, and amoral. But they are undisputably successful.
Nailed it.
Bet Bobsie is yodeling a brand new tune less than 30 seconds after her bestest unstable Floridian puts out his thoughts on "Clucker, the giant chicken loser"?
It's probably not why he got fired but the January 6th whitewash was Tucker's worst sin. He should never be allowed on the air again.
It was his worst sin. And it's not why he got fired.
CHB is correct about Boobert. She’s dumber than a post and it’s questionable if she can read a telePrompter. Fox can excuse dumb, as long as her skirts are short enough, but expecting her to ad-lib would be a disaster. I’d enjoy the hell out of it, though.
Tucker does hold the triple crown of being axed by all three of the major cable new nets.
Wondering if it’s possible he could get sacked from RT, or whether Putin will just have him shipped off to the Ukrainian front?
Is Putin looking for a press spokesperson?
(This just in)….Tucker Carlson traded to VG TRK for Vladimir Solovyov, an undetermined amount of cash and a 2024 3rd round draft pick.
The Russian Media giant is reportedly pleased. “Now we are with the ‘Official American Style Bullshit having”, said their spokesman.
I’m sure they’d give Tucker a top floor office with a spectacular view of Moscow, and a balcony…
I hate when news people are the news. It's a gaudy simulacrum of self-referentiality. But, in this case, I'm not sorry to see Tucker go. He was a neo-con whore who stooped to Trump's level for ratings.
Just a hat tip on that second sentence, Meiner. Truly, very impressive.👍
Tucker Carlson wasn't in the news business … there were court arguments from the Fox News attorneys which confirmed they didn't expect people to see his program as "news," but as entertainment.
