2/ This is another reason Fox lost btw. We won a biggie here.

3/ Guess #ClusterFox doesn’t like losing all that money after all, huh?

4/ Via Andrew Feinberg:

As of today, #TuckerCarlson has now been fired from all three major cable news channels, CNN, MSNBC and now Fox

5/ Ha! Via Ryan Reilly:

“their s---'s gonna blow up! So, just keep watching Tucker, keep spreading the truth, keep talking about the corruption, keep sharing, and we will bring the system doooooowwwwn." — a #Jan6 rioter minutes after she was convicted on six counts Friday

6/ 👋 Via Aaron Rupar, #Fox announces bye-bye #Tucker: #ClusterFox

7/ Reporter from Real Clear News:

The #TuckerCarlson news isn't just a media story. It significantly changes the GOP #2024 primary overnight.

8/ Validating my point above, via https://mastodon.social/@fawfulfan:

Forget issuing a public on-air apology, this is a MUCH better way to send Fox viewers a message.

9/ LOL...

Via Rep Maxwell Frost:

I heard George #Santos is hiring a Comms director for his re-election campaign in case you’re looking for work, #TuckerCarlson

LOL!!! yeah, tucker and Santos would be a great team

Good one!

@Atticus1956 So good

@GottaLaff he's a light in Florida. So is Anna Eskamani

We will see if there some more reporting on exact decision and reasons but at this point all it's going to be is morons, hillbillies, klan and nazis upset their boy (who wouldn't be in a room with them even if you paid him) got fired... "who's gonna spread hate with me now?"

I seriously doubt this will mean "we lied about the election getting stolen and tucker is paying the price for his part in it" to the Fox viewers.

@kbsez Of course not. They won't change, they'll just be more careful.

I think is more likely:

Judd Legum (@[email protected])

A possible clue... RT @[email protected] The departure comes about a month after Abby Grossberg, a former top booker on Carlson's program, sued the network and cited "vile sexist stereotypes" working for "Tucker Carlson Tonight." 3/ 🐦🔗: https://twitter.com/ErikWemple/status/1650525199840755715

@kbsez Joan Walsh said that on Twitter

Mattstodon 🏳️‍⚧️Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff Was one of my first thoughts. He knows how to manipulate media and speak to the Trump base.

E. Hatt-Swank Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff
Fascinating. I wonder if maybe Fox told him he'd need to tone it down for a while, because they don't want to have to pay out another $787 million, and he refused, being the arrogant twerp that he is.

@ehattswank Via Teri Kanefield: Apparently it was Carlson’s comments about Fox management, as revealed in the Dominion case, that played a role in his departure from Fox.

Carolyn Meinel Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff Thank you, thank you, Dominion!

Voron Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff Coming soon, to every single national radio service the new Rush Limbaugh aka Tucker Carlson Unchained

Sincerity just drips from her, doesn't it?

The stone-faced deadpan delivery hides...what?

There are North Korean news readers with more life-like delivery.

SueG In NJ Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff lying DOES have negative consequences.

Rick Thoman Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff Given the audience size of the show, presumably this means that attorneys (somehow) convinced the Murdochs that they were exposed to EXTREME legal risk if the show continued in its current form.

MisterStars Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff Lol- is this real? Lol😝

Fernhead Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff He'll land on his feet.

HeatherLynn8571 Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff Glad he's gone !!!! He's one of the people who has done SO MUCH damage to this country, But NOW, he'll go to OAN .... ( I once saw a woman recommend that station to a friend of mine. He probably watched and said "This is bullshit".🤣

OldAndCranky Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff Did you see that Don Lemon is out at CNN as well?

@OldAndCranky I tooted it yes.

Steve8282 Apr 24, 2023

@OldAndCranky @GottaLaff It’s a good day.

@Steve8282 💯 @OldAndCranky

Is it really about the #Dominion settlement?

Granted he was caught on tape and in texts disparaging the leadership of the network and crap like that...

Perhaps they're setting themselves up to defend against Smartmatics by saying "we fired him"

Or (eyes roll up to heaven smiling) perhaps there's something about the hit the fan with this slimey asshat and Fox is getting out ahead of it.

@kbsez We fired him wouldn't work about something that happened for months and involved more than Tucker. Smartmatic won't care about that. This is about them, not Dominion.

OutOnTheMoors Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff @kbsez possibly about his Trump comments. Fox cares only about ratings and the base is still very loyal to the Orange One

@CrazyMyra @GottaLaff

They all said crap about trump and his stupidity --- everyone knows he's a nut and full of crap. I just don't see that as a reason either, not in the case of the rabid loons of fox

GATEKEEPER Apr 25, 2023

@CrazyMyra @GottaLaff @kbsez
no secret Trump wanted him gone

I am thinking this is more about Abby Grossberg than about Dominon and the more I think about that the more likely it is.

@kbsez That's what Joan Walsh and Judd Legum said too

Danette 🐬Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff 👏🏼👏🏼could not be happier!!

@GottaLaff Could this be a condition of the Dominion settlement?

@FallsMom No.

atticus1956 Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff
Wouldn't you love to know the amount of his severance package?

Katherine Pickett, Editor Apr 24, 2023

Good riddance! This makes my day!

That's one small step for democracy, one giant step for mankind.

@GottaLaff Can’t get by on the TV dinner money.

@GottaLaff Russia Today is his best fit. The insurance companies of Faux News probably insisted

Toodles, Tucker.

Sam Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff I don’t understand this. I guess I bought into the idea that he was some cash cow.

MichelleRN, Former CHPN, Ret.Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff
Should be interesting to see where he lands.

@MichelleRNCHPN VP candidate?

Pat Madigan Apr 24, 2023

@GottaLaff This is so obvious that I can’t even call it a prediction.

Rather than Tucker going to OAN, which would make sense, it’s likely that someone will create a new network, called Patriot News or something similar, and Tucker will be their primary talking head.

I would be shocked if this did NOT happen.
