Well. Didn't see that one coming.

He was the last one there worth watching.

Just saw the announcement this morning. It may have to do with the Dominion lawsuit. There’s a related article about his producer filing a lawsuit against the network regarding the depositions in the Dominion lawsuit.

I didn’t like him at first but I do approve the counter current views he brings up more often than not.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Yeah, that gave me a double take.

I haven't turned on Fox since November of 2020, but nevertheless I'm a bit surprised. A few times I almost turned on the TV to tune into Gutfeld, but never actually did. Yeah, I can't think of anyone else worth watching there.

That’s a massive bummer. Other points of view need to be heard and now the media will be even more overloaded to the left. Without someone pointing out their ridiculousness they will get even more bold.

Interesting to hear what the whole story is.
Network strategy or individual issues. Confused

Maybe they just needed to cut costs after the big lawsuit.
The cut O'Reilly and he was the biggest audience getter they ever had.
Maybe they think they can do it with someone else?

Wow. I guess I'm done with FOX News.
Here's the statement:

NEW YORK — April 24, 2023 — FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.

Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.

FOX News Media operates the FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOX News Digital, FOX News Audio, FOX News Books, the direct-to-consumer streaming services FOX Nation and FOX News International and the free ad-supported television service FOX Weather. Currently the number one network in all of cable, FNC has also been the most watched television news channel for more than 21 consecutive years, while FBN ranks among the top business channels on cable. Owned by Fox Corporation, FOX News Media reaches nearly 200 million people each month.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Dang ... did not see this coming either. Wondering if others will be parting ways too.

Not convinced we'll ever get that from either party.

While probably a result of it, I find that very unlikely.

I knew there was big trouble in River City when Fox News suppressed the J6 tapes broadcast.

I have to imagine Tucker represented nearly half of Fox's audience. Oh well.

I can't stand the guy, but MANY folks can and do. This one's going to hurt their revenue stream.

Too bad they didn't get rid of Hannity.

And didn't AOC just call for him to be censored and kicked off TV? Like literally this past weekend?

No, she said he was inciting violence and basically implied that the government should go after him. A subtle difference, and your point stands.
