[Raccoon]

Fox News and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways, the network said.

This is a blessed day.

 

[WestEgg]

Whaaaaa?!?

 

[EvilChameleon]

Obligatory...

 

[ngpdrew]

Get fucked, loser.

Please let the door hit you on the way out. Hard.

 

[Catsylvania]

Glorious. Took me a bit to decide which reaction to use. This works nicely:

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

out immediately, didn't even get to say goodbye to his nazi larper fanbase 🙏

 

[Ozeiyo]

Good riddance but also these people are like cockroaches. They survive anything.

[Apopheniac]

Gotta be some real sicko shit, right? He was in a sexual harrassment lawsuit a few years ago and they kept him on then, can't imagine what he'd have to do to get done in like this

 

[Thunder84]

What a glorious thing to read this morning

 

[EvilChameleon]

Gotta be some real sicko shit, right? He was in a sexual harrassment lawsuit a few years ago and they kept him on then, can't imagine what he'd have to do to get done in like this

Especially since his show was the highest rated on the network.

 

[WestEgg]

Don Lemon is also out at CNN.

 

[bellydrum]

You mean that guy who always makes that face like a baby gorilla that filled his diaper?

 

[Bowser Sr.]

Tucker'd his tail between his legs.... .....................................

 

[samouraï]

Unless someone pulls an Asanuma on him I can't see a reason to be excited. He's rich as hell and Fox will easily replace him.

 

[neon]

Why would they do this? That grifter easily made them hundreds of millions. Either foxfound someone even worse, he did some really really bad shit or he decided to start his own independent show, which could be even worse than before.

 

[neon]

oh god what if he runs for office

 

[WestEgg]

From the sound of it, seems he had a falling out with the executives. Guessing they asked if he could maybe cool it and not cost the network another $800 million, and that was a line too far.

 

[Red Monster]

oh no, what are the nazis gonna watch now?

 

[robertman2]

 

[Sadist]

Finally.

I know people lament the fact that Fox doesn’t give any fucks, but I was surprised by the bits and pieces I saw of the guy, that he had a job. I mean, he’s batshit insane.

Guess it finally caught up with him though.

 

[Semi Lazy Gamer]

Why would they do this? That grifter easily made them hundreds of millions. Either foxfound someone even worse, he did some really really bad shit or he decided to start his own independent show, which could be even worse than before.

Considering he just cost them $800 million and bad mouthed the executives during the pre-trial, its obvious that tensions were strained between Carlson and Fox News executives.

What was the final straw is the question.

Something... interesting going on here:

Can we get rid of Hannity too please?

Who're they? What shit have they pulled?

 

[blue2425]

Great way to start the work week!

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Jeanine Pirro is a very good Cecily Strong impersonator

 

[IsisStormDragon]

Great start to the week. Hope this energy continues throughout.

[blue2425]

Just realized that Fox is probably going to lose close to $2 Bil due to their voter fraud nonsense if Smartmatic gets a similar payout. Those attorney fees arn't cheap either.

and LOL at thier market cap drop today.

 

[Nmanic]

This is pretty cool. It would be nice if he faded into obscurity here, though I bet the wackos at OAN would love to have him

 

[WestEgg]

Well, there has been an update.

Carlson’s Text That Alarmed Fox Leaders: ‘It’s Not How White Men Fight’

The discovery of the text message contributed to a chain of events that ultimately led to Tucker Carlson’s firing.

www.nytimes.com

The text from Carlson to his producer:

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living shit out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?

Yeah, pretty easy to see why he got fired...

 

[bellydrum]

I will say that's the last thing I expected out of this situation

 

[kvetcha]

I will say that's the last thing I expected out of this situation

“Tucker Carlson fired for having an epiphany about the sanctity of human life and the ineffable bond shared by all living creatures.”

 

[EvilChameleon]

Who fights like that then, Tucker? 🤔

 

[chocolate_supra]

“Tucker Carlson fired for having an epiphany about the sanctity of human life and the ineffable bond shared by all living creatures.”

Yeah I.. I'm so shocked that I actually wanna see some corroborating sources on this one.

I'm having a genuinely hard time believing Carlson had that sort of epiphany.

This is so wild. I have no words.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Yes, Tucker, historically there have never been mobs of white people enacting violence on others. If that had happened they'd have to cover their faces or something.

 

[Chaotic Neutral]

It's very on brand, though, that he genuinely was unable to even have his moment of regular human empathy without throwing some racism into it as well.

you, uhhhhh, gotta start…somewhere?

 

[sagadego20]

 

[EvilChameleon]

Newsmax and their daily radio ads asking if he should join them are in shambles.

 

[Weebos]

Next level move to drive more advertisers off Twitter.

 

[zumaddy]

Ah yes, right-wing white dudes are historically the least violent people Tucker 🙄

 

[Chaotic Neutral]

I am unsure whether I think this is extremely funny or just plain old sad.

I literally left at the best possible time holy shit
