Local talk radio host Rick Roberts claimed today that the Settlement was a big reason to fire him. The truth for me is they fired the only two reasons I ever had to watch Fox. Bongino was in contract negotiations and they wouldn't pay. Tucker was just let go even though he is the largest draw they have. The settlement was chunk change for a outlet that is #1 and brings in billions per annum. The settlement was an excuse. Lunatic decisions cost Bud Beer over 7 Billion. Wonder if it will cost Fox as much.
They need a cutting edge journalist and writer. Not just a pretty face that reads the teleprompter. Someone that will fearlessly take on issues and not just parrot conservative talking points. Good luck finding a replacement.

Fox is a mild distraction. A very small morsel to placate the gullible. It is not now, nor has it ever been, conservative. The most I've ever heard them claim is balanced. Now the little sliver of balance is thinner.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.
Fox Corporation’s stock lost $1 billion in market capitalization just minutes after news broke that Tucker Carlson departed Fox News.
Fox Corporation, which owns Fox News as well as entertainment television and sports holdings, quickly plunged more than 5% after Fox News announced that Carlson and the media organization had “parted ways.” The announcement came as a surprise and appeared to catch shareholders off guard.
The massive evaporation of value speaks to just how much traffic the 53-year-old host of Tucker Carlson Tonight drove for the network. Fox News recently announced that in the first quarter of 2023, the show was the “highest-rated program in cable news in the younger 25-54 demo, averaging 3.2 million viewers, 443,000 in the demo and 299,000 in the 18-49 category.”
Carlson was perhaps Fox News’s single most-recognized anchor. His show was the network’s second-most popular program last year, with only The Five attracting more viewership.
Fox News recently settled a defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems for more than $787 million over false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Last week, another popular figure at Fox, Dan Bongino, announced he and Fox failed to come to an agreement for a contract extension.
The reason why Carlson and Fox parted ways is still unclear, and he has not released a statement.
They need a cutting edge journalist and writer. Not just a pretty face that reads the teleprompter. Someone that will fearlessly take on issues and not just parrot conservative talking points. Good luck finding a replacement.
There’s others out there. Fox and the rest of the MSM do not want them which is exactly why they fired Tucker. I think most of us knew that even while being the number one draw that Tucker was living on borrowed time.
To take it a step further Trump was the most popular President in our lifetimes and so that’s why they pulled out all of the stops to get rid of him too.
They want us listening to Hannity and voting for RINO’s.
