Not sure which forum this goes in, but I figure Politics is as good as any. Carlson’s last day was Friday, so no two weeks’ notice. Somehow I doubt the parting was a completely mutual agreement.
There’s a fine line between, “quits,” and, “gets shit-canned.”
I wonder where he will come up for air. Assuming he breathes air, that is.
Did they fire him? I bet they fired him and more is happening then has been revealed.
I bet his golden parachute could support an elephant. Think NewsMax will snap him up or he’ll start a podcast??
As I posted in another thread, I think he’ll surface in Trump’s orbit. Fleecing the self-selected MAGA rubes is too tempting to pass up.
I wonder if he’ll run for president. His name has been floated as a candidate.
Possible VP candidate for Trump?
I think “quit” is very inaccurate (no dig on the OP). Although it’s early in reporting this seems more like “As an employee of Fox News you were leading the charge in encouraging these accusations that just cost us 3/4 of a BILLION dollars. Ownership or senior management will not be held accountable but you… well, bye!”
I also really doubt an OAN or NewsMax would take the risk of hiring him. Fox can absorb a $700+M settlement. The reasons they’d want him are the same reasons that could bankrupt OAN or NewsMax.
I thought Trump would choose that crazy lady in Congress. No, not Lauren B., the Marjorie one. I think she is on the outs, though, so maybe not.
If he does glom onto the Trump entourage, he should expect to eventually be punished in some humiliating way for saying he hates him. Psychopaths don’t ever forgive or forget.
I think they will hire him. Either that, or he’ll launch an online channel.
Tucker was outed as someone who privately loathes Donald, I can’t imagine that snowflake allowing any but a True Believer as a running mate. If I had to bet now, I’d put a nickel on Kari Lake.
He has been sighted heading back to his old bridge, where he will resume his former career of menacing billygoats.
Wonderful news.
Yeah, I do think Kari Lake is a likely candidate. Maybe Lauren B? Marjorie?
So who’s the next guy they’ll push to be the headliner? O’Reilly’s gone. Beck’s gone. Ingraham. Who’s next in the barrel?
Gosh, do you think Fox News finally came to their senses, realizing Trump is too much of a liability to endorse, and will no longer promote him?
And Don Lemon thread over here:
We’ll keep the two separate.
I suspect part of his severance agreement (whether he quit or Fox News pushed him out) includes a non-compete clause with a big fat penalty if he jumps to a competitor. And if he has to wait, say, six months to go back on the air, will anyone want him by then,.
