@GottaLaff

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.

@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

@GottaLaff

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
