Trump Press Secretary
Trump diaper changer.
Trump VP.
He could pivot to the anti-work contingent, and write a book, “I cost my employers a billion dollars*, and you can too!”
*Yes, it wasn’t a billion, but this is Fucker Carlson we’re talking about. Of course he’d lie about the amount.
Perhaps. But those texts will haunt him about Trump not accomplishing anything in four years, and how he hates him.
That’s what I was thinking. If that hadn’t come out, I could totally beleive Trump making him the VP candidate. Now? Trump might dangle the nomination in front of him, as part of some humiliation ritual, like he did with Mitt Romney.
Fantasy follows… not to be taken too seriously.
What if… Tucker told Fox news that he wanted to come clean… that on his next week of shows he was going to tell the truth about how Fox pressured and demanded that hosts sucked up to Trump, lie about Dominion and otherwise just promote garbage news. All for the sake of grifting the rubes and making money. That Fox really was afraid of losing viewership to the further right wing up and coming networks. That he (Tucker) KNEW that Fox was spreading lies, but was told to shut up and lie or lose his job.
So Tucker was going to be a whistleblower. So Fox shitcanned him.
And now he’s going to tell the world what a despicable pile of lying crap Fox News is, and how they promoted and helped with an insurrection based on a lie.
/fantasy
No doubt, but none of them have nearly the reach that he got under Fox. Anybody remember Glen Beck, and know what he’s up to? Me neither.
I have a hard time seeing OAN or NewsMax picking him up. He just cost Fox News 3/4 of a BILLION dollars. Fox can absorb that. If Tucker went on OAN or NewsMax and added to their legal woes with more false claims, a judgement or settlement of that size would bankrupt those networks. I just can’t see them taking the risk although they’d love to get his audience.
But it’s also 2023 in MAGALAND so who am I to think they’ll do anything rational.
Related thread ti his leaving Fox here:
Hard to believe Carlson pushed those election lies without consent of TPTB at Fox. Maybe the messages saying he hates trump are what he’s actually being ditched for.
Kind of reminds me of when CBS wooed Letterman away from NBC with a fat contract. Shortly afterwards, CBS lost a bidding war against up and coming Fox Sports for NFL rights. Letterman joked about CBS executives saying “Well, we just don’t have that kind of money anymore.”
Maybe Fox just decided they don’t have that kind of money anymore. I’m sure that Tucker will land on his feet somehow.
I agree; he didn’t initiate that bullshit; it was all done at the behest of Rupert Murdoch and the rest of Fox leadership.
This is my thought as well. Carlson did not display enough fealty to Trump in those private messages. Can’t have that known and still be on the network - he has no credibility any more - the rubes supporting the Golden Goose will go somewhere else.
And yet many Republican leaders publicly detested Trump before he steamrolled the competition in the 2016 Republican primary. I think if you got them in a truth chamber, they’d tell you they hate him as well.
He could start a chain of testicle tanning salons.
So, Fucker’s just a Classic Republican Screw-Up, saying the quiet part out loud?
Believe it or not, the Post is reporting that it was his comments about Fox management that did it. Don’t they know it’s every employee’s prerogative to bitch about management?
He started his own TV network. Originally it was GBTV, and only online and paid, but he renamed it TheBlaze in 2012, which is now is available on cable and satellite TV. He later merged with another conservative TV network in 2018.
Dude did not disappear.
I swear I didn’t read this thread before I posted something similar over in one of other other Fucker Carlson threads.
Great minds think alike!
