I just knew Jesse Watters was going to be in line for a promotion. He’s a nasty one so I’m not sure this is going to be an improvement.
Yep, Watters could probably fill Tucker’s shoes.
He can’t always keep a straight face when delivering BS, but that will come with practice (I know one of the things Tucker was famous for was his laugh, but there’s a difference between a deliberate, cynical, mocking laugh, and involuntarily smirking because you know what you’re saying is objectively stupid).
The only question is: will anyone be allowed to be the new Tucker? I can’t imagine sensible journalism coming to FOX primetime any time soon, but there may some restrictions.
The question is how many viewers will stay will Fox vs how many will drift to wherever Tucker goes. I’ve seen a disturbing number of people crying about how only Tucker was brave enough to tell the “truth”.
