SCBills Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Tucker’s viral speech from over the weekend. Can this be said by a cable news host? Can this be the type of rallying cry for a future President? Are these the views of a man who wants to embark on his own media empire? Maybe all… but I do believe the answers to those questions are: No Yes Yes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundybout Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I'm told that on his deathbed Tucker Carlson received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahāda.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I mean, I am here for all of the jokes about this being part of the Dominion settlement but this doesn't quite jive. If it was Dominion has no reason to lie because they'd want to celebrate collecting scalps. What I can believe is that a nearly $787 million payout has changed the network's calculus on letting hosts make specific, defamation case worthy claims. Tucker has one already when he called one of the Jan 6 goons an FBI plant and some of the things he did with the Jan 6 footage. I am speculating, but it would not shock me if the rein were getting pulled hard and fast and Tucker balked. The man is already well off and doesn't need the money. He will land on his feet at some other zit of an organization or start a podcast network. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niagara Bill Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I am old enough to remember when he was young, poor and quite respectable, providing balance and far left of Rush. Then he decided to be rich, and not report but to preach, inspire, set trends, and he became right of Rush. Like him or not, he had some good characteristics, but the voting machine lie shows how far he strayed from his reporting back ground. He should move to a new show like 60 minutes type where facts are optional. He was good at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to rethink that whole “Tucker voluntarily resigned” thing) Uh, ok?.. where did I say he voluntarily resigned? You’re putting words in my mouth due to your inability to back up your argument. In fact I cited reports stating Tucker was potentially looking to force the issue to part ways. Tucker was set to air live tonight. This happened today as Tucker and Murdoch got into over issues likely boiling over for some time now. The allegation from those I was responding to was that he was fired due to the Dominion fallout. He wasn’t. Never said anything about this … in fact this makes sense, as Tucker was reportedly muzzled on his J6 reporting on the footage McCarthy gave him.

I mean I am sure that the lawsuit had an indirect effect. I highly doubt that Murdoch got hit on the settlement with many more lawsuits pending and didn't get some advice from his lawyers to reduce liability. I am sure that Tucker could have gotten by on general statements via "people are saying" and "I'm just asking questions" but he has gotten in deep on a few claims.
