I went back and read my article where I defended Tucker (after Sage Hana kept attacking him as "controlled opposition" and then attacking me as a dupe for defending Tucker.
One point I made was that if Tucker was taken off the air, the Deep State would dance a little two step, which they are no doubt doing right now.
I said that I thought Tucker wrote his own material and actually believed in the things he was writing and saying, which I still believe. I also said I didn't get the impression Tucker was going to throttle back on his efforts to harpoon Big Pharma et al ... which he did not do. RFK, Jr. just made a tweet, saying he thinks Tucker sealed his fate by going after Big Pharma one time too many last week.
Anyway, if Tucker was controlled opposition, he eventually upset his alleged handlers, who must not have really "controlled him." ... Now the real powers that be might "control" Rupert Murdoch and his children, which might explain today's news.
He had on guests that no one else would talk to and covered stories that mattered. I think that Fox’s viewership is about to plummet worse than it did when they called Arizona for Biden at 9 pm in 2020
You're correct that an outlet like Substack could be within the bullseye to be taken out. Writers never had much freedom to do what they do since there was always an editor lurking about. Let's hope that Substack doesn't sell us out.
I just checked out some of the comments at Zero Hedge. This story already has 652,000 views. I would say it's official by now: Fox News has jumped the shark.
I think I see where this is going. Fox was the largest company not completely captured that sometimes delivered "real" news. That can't be allowed, all the news media must be controlled, not just most of it. So we devalue the company with lawsuits, propaganda, and now with one of their top reporters being out. This makes the company cheaper for a buyout. The big boys will all get golden parachutes, and the stockholders will get shafted. You can be sure there is a lot going on behind the scenes that we are not privy to.
Yes, It will be interesting to see how things unfold in the coming days/weeks! Maybe Rumble or Spotify will have the guts to pick him up? If so, Fox will end up like CNN. This is getting interesting!
five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledging that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers. Carlson’s breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules: Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless. For many years, Tucker has had the nation's biggest audience averaging 3.5 million — 10 times the size of CNN. Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma.

Just canceled my subscription to Fox Nation - used it to watch Tucker. Only reason I had it

If true, this cements FOX as the dumb network.
Tucker will land on his feet wherever he drops. Maybe we'll have another 'Stack to subscribe to soon!
Censorship ensured by the Dominion law suit loss by Fox
I wonder if this was part of the settlement with Dominion? They don’t want anyone questioning their questionable machines.
You're correct that an outlet like Substack could be within the bullseye to be taken out. Writers never had much freedom to do what they do since there was always an editor lurking about. Let's hope that Substack doesn't sell us out.
So -- miserable Fox has selected to stand with warmongering grifter Hannity -- no difference from equally despicable Rachel Maddow.
Good for Tucker Carlson !!!

I found Tucker's keynote address at the Heritage Foundation's 50th anniversary dinner a few days ago very enlightening considering he's gone today. https://www.youtube.com/live/ebG2POkoHgU?feature=share

It's interesting to note that Rachel Maddow - despite her lies and being literally completely wrong most of the time - keeps ticking.
Also. Not surprised. As I've said in the past, if they could trade Wayne Gretzky in his prime....anything is possible.
Well said, Bill. Thanks.
The boys sent Oriely packing with his head down in shame.
The boys replaced him with Tucker, they sent him packing with a large suitcase full of money and anon competition clause.
The boys will replace Tucker with Watters.
When he gets to big they will send him packing as well
There can be only one Queen of Fox.
