There are four basic takes on the exit of Tucker Carlson from Fox News
- Establishment people at Fox won and finally excised Tucker Carlson from their midst.
- It was a business decision, substantially involving past and future external legal fights for the network.
- Dark powers that be had to finalize a kill because Tucker spoke way too much truth.
- It is and was a huge programming miscalculation for Fox which they will pay for dearly, essentially, growing the Big 3 networks to now, the Big 4 of beleaguered regime mouthpieces.
All of these are true, and whichever is most true is irrelevant. Another take fresh from the inside rumor mill is that Tucker had open contempt for some of his bosses and they were pissed about it. Check that box as it could be that simple, but it doesn’t explain the timing at all.
What is most important is this:
- Where will Tucker land next and will he keep or increase his capacity to truth-tell?
- Will the Deep state/WEF/Democrat regime find a way to torpedo the next platform?
- Will the public sufficiently pivot away from Fox and toward Tuckers next landing spot?
- Are there new truth tellers emerging and ready to scale up to a national audience, especially for a twenty or thirty-something audience?
Fox has been rotting a long time. The only surprise to Tucker’s exit from Fox was how long it took Murdoch and the board (including the likes of Paul Ryan), to swallow the big pill and pull the plug. AOC bragged over Tuckers de-platforming. Sorry honey. One) A lot of truth got told while Tucker was there for an extended time. Two) He is far from silent. A vacation is a better description. Three) There will be a lot less deception about what Fox is really about now. I don’t think that’s a win for you. We’re due for a major re-ordering of mass media. No one holds a birthright to conservative audiences, certainly not Fox. It must be earned anew every day.
Here’s a formula I believe Tucker would get behind 1,000%. Whether he’s given a new microphone tomorrow, ten years from now or never, there should be ten Tuckers to take his place. A few of them should be in their twenties. There is not an idol or star among us that won’t fade or disappear within a few years or a few decades. While I was not a regular direct consumer of his message due to the manner of my media consumption, of what I did listen to, I found very little that I disagreed with. There are tens or maybe hundreds of millions that feel the same way. They listened to him because he spoke what they thought and just articulated in better. That should strike fear into the regime. When you kill one, you unleash ten. If you kill ten, you unleash a hundred more.
