Chemist Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 are Sean Hannity/Laura Ingraham less of a liability?
qurl Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 above all else i think everyone needs to be thinking about this: whatever Dominion had on Fox News in preparation for that trial was SEISMIC. perhaps there are other factors to Tucker being let go at this time too, but whatever was ABOUT to come out about not just Tucker but a lot of their prime time hosts and the Murdochs themselves ….. it would have truly shifted $h!t …. the Murdochs really came away unscathed from all this but everyone should be wondering just what they were trying to make go away by paying almost a billion dollars

Velvet Night Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Holy ****! I can't wait to hear more details.

Oktober Knight Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 I can't wait for his tell-all book where he exposes Fox News for making him pretend to worship Trump and announce fake news.
beautiful player Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Tucker will easily survive this... he's bigger than Fox lol. This is not big news, he will essentially just change sponsors.

He wasn't, and departed. I still think Lachlan came to him with proposals for a change in direction he turned down. It doesn't make sense that they'd make him the fall guy for Dominion given the vociferous defense they'd given him prior. Tucker's own show won't be on RT and it'll have a substantial following - the following he has now is loyal and not just Fox adjacent. Tucker’s never had a problem changing his views at the drop of a dime. I think there’s something more to this than him being unwilling to compromise the nature of his show.

harwee Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 Hopefully this means upcoming lawsuits and them ratting each other out

These are not comparable cases. And anyway, this will be perceived as an attempt to silence free speech and conservatism. If anything, it makes him look like a martyr. Just saying, don't be surprised when this isn't the big downfall y'all think it is.

I think so too, but the explanation of him being the fall-guy for Dominion is too easy and black-and-white.

Achilles. Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 The video of The View! The right wingers blaming… Paul Ryan! Everyone at Faux finding out on twitter (thank goodness it lasted long enough for this)!
