I have waited to see how things shake out but I still have no idea. One day they say that Tucker and Fox parted ways amicably. The next day they say Tucker was fired for cause and won’t get paid for his contract and he was clearly removed from his job involuntarily but was he fired or did they keep him under contract so he couldn’t go anywhere else and compete with Fox. I saw an article today that said with 95% certainty that it was the latter.
I agree because Fox has a history of firing but not really by keeping people off the air but paying their contracts so they could keep them from competing with Fox. I think that’s what is going on here. Listen OAN has already indicated that they are willing to pay Tucker $25 million a year to move his program there. And I’m sure that Newsmax will come up with something comparable. Tucker’s audience goes with him wherever he goes.
And just in case you don’t know, Fox stock has taken a big hit and and its viewership has cratered. Kilmeade dropped from Tucker’s 3.5 million viewers to 2.9 million on Monday. Not too bad but it has steadily decreased until it’s now at 1 point something that is lower than someone on CNN or MSNBC I don’t remember which and Hannity’s numbers have also fallen. They’re still good but declining. People watched Tucker and stayed on to watch Hannity. Now they’re not watching Kilmeade and so may be watching something else and don’t flip back to see Hannity. From my perspective if you watch Hannity twice a week you pretty much get everything he has to offer.
The other interesting thing is that Eric Bolling, who has the 8pm slot on Newsmax went from 150K viewers to over 500K viewers with Tucker’s departure. The leftist Murdock kids are willing to destroy Fox News to silence someone who exposed their false narrative crap. They are really upset because Tucker exposed the J6 crap and it’s interesting that McCarthy gave the tapes to Tucker not Fox News.
And the idiot known as Geraldo got destroyed today when he I guess tweeted about his hatred for Tucker especially because he wouldn’t go along with the lefts bs about J6. People said things like you’re an idiot. The tapes show Ray Epps and others inciting violence and fomenting the violence at the Capitol, not Trump.
Btw the lawyers defending J6 defendants have now identified 80 plus people, thanks to finally getting access to the tapes, that are either federal agents or federal plants and are demanding further discovery.
