    In a wonderful move, Rupert Murdoch has fired Tucker Carlson from his Fox network.

    Not only was he a misogynist, but a racist and avowed liar. His thing was to spread lies and fear. He did a good job at it, making millions for himself, and the Fox Network.

    Just read the following at the Guardian:

    Carlson fired on Murdoch's orders over discrimination suit: report
    Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch ordered Tucker Carlson’s firing over a discrimination lawsuit filed by a former producer on his show, the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Murdoch was also “concerned” about Carlson’s insistence that undercover government agents were involved in the January 6 insurrection, an allegation that has no factual basis, according to the Times.

    In March, Abby Grossberg, a producer who formerly worked on Carlson’s show, filed a suit saying that lawyers for the network “coached” and “intimidated” her into giving misleading testimony in the lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems. She also alleged a culture of sexism and misogyny at the network, and that executives tried to blame her and host Maria Bartiromo for the airing of 2020 election conspiracy theories.

    While the Times reports that the dismissal wasn’t related to the Dominion lawsuit, it notes that comments made about managers at the network, which were revealed in the case’s discovery process “may have also played a role” in his ousting.

    Kharma is a bitch, though sometimes it takes awhile for it to catch up with you.

    That pretty much sums it up, right there. If it weren’t for the Dominion lawsuit- Tucker Carlson would still be working at Fox News. The other stuff really didn’t matter, because if it did, he would have been gone a lot sooner.

    Carlson will be missed. Can't wait to see where he winds up if the Deep State doesn't kill him.

    You mean among so-called journalists, right?

    Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump should compete in a lie-off, where the winner tells the most & best lies!!

    LOL!

    Tucker had brilliant monologues because he had high ratings. That's like claiming Gilligan's Island was brilliant because it had high ratings!

    Then Tucker, in your video, claims that if he says the election was rigged, we have to prove it isn't
    ....he doesn't have to prove it was rigged, we have to prove it wasn't. So he can claim anything at all...we have to disprove whatever he says! Then he giggles. Really?

    I stopped watching it after that.

    Then we proved it wasn't rigged and he still insisted it was, thus continuing to divide the country further. When a news organization resorts to lying in order to please their viewers, they're no longer worthy of being called a news organization.

    I'm curious how long it is before he can sign with a competitor. I'm sure he has a no-disparaging clause, but it will be interesting to see first interviews (who they select).. Newsmaxx would be smart to write that guy a huge check -- they'd siphon so many Fox viewers. In the past, the bumps were only temporary, but if they get him, they might tune in to the show before in preparation, and maybe just leave it on after Tucker, and watch more?

    I think TV media will die soon, right after the viewers. There's too many sources on YouTube alone, and millions are completely apolitical, or sick of the games.

    The only way for them to survive is to start telling the truth.

    But they can't.

    Bill Clinton and the Deep State took them over decades ago and they've been completely under that control ever since.

    The Deep State will not surrender. It will take over the internet completely if need be. There's is nothing it will not do, no lie it will not tell, no person it will not assassinate, to retain power.
