Fox News fires Tucker Carlson

Kermit.de.frog

Some deck chairs moving in the US media landscape. Good riddance. Also, Don Lemon out at CNN. If anything that's even more surprising.

They'll replace him with a similarly repugnant creature soon enough.

Sure what does it matter? Irish people will still hang on to their yank political personality cults, even if the yank is sacked or leaves whatever their position was. Its absolutely pathetic.

He is an absolute poisonous clown, good riddance, but no doubt he will turn up somewhere else hopefully with a smaller audience to spread his BS

Gonna miss the Tuck. Who'll stand up for THE TRUTH against the LIES of the ELITES now?

Let's hope Hannity and Ingraham follow suit

He'll be a mod in the Soccer Forum on here within the week.

America has been a great source of comedy the last few years tbf.

Maybe Elon has promised him a prime time slot in the twitters-phere?

American viewers will need their nightly Tucker fix... what will they do without it?

And what will all the haters do? 🤣

I like Tucker Carlson. He is entertaining and presents an alternative pov. I am sure he will be gainfully employed again in short order. Very intelligent man.

Christopher Hitchens held him in high regard.

Looks like I'm the only one who never heard of this guy.

Why is everyone so worked up about a TV presenter over in America.

Wonder if the door mouse Sean Hannity will go too

He always looks like he just accidentally sharted

Fair play he was giving Glen Greenwald alot of airtime, Glen put his neck on the line to break the Edward Snowden story.

It's not comedy. It's a corporate sponsored noise factory spewing out utter scutter that doesn't effect our own homeland whatsoever. Keep watching it if you want to, I'm sure its doing you a lot of good entwined to personalities who don't give a midge's hole about you or your community.

Crikey he was on 10 million a year! And I thought Tubbs was stealing a living!

Because it's one of the most watched news stations in America, he's one of the star presenters, and their whole shtick has been to propagate scaremongering lies, untruths and misinformation to manipulate their viewers, because laws around such things are so lax in America that they can.

They amazingly managed to breach those laws because their lies were so severe regarding the 2020 election that they were sued and settled for about $787.5m, with more lawsuits and probable settlements coming. But the actions of people like Tucker Carlson has played a huge impact on the extreme political discourse in America.

America is the most corrupt nation on earth. Who gives a f**k what they get up to? It's a nation based on lies, war, death, propaganda and empirical standards. Been that way since 1945. And that's a fact. Anybody concerned with how that kip runs its shop should move over there and save actual Irish people who just want to live on their own island and not want to hear about any of that yank f**king mess that doesn't even concern us. No matter what you've been fed by fox/cnn or whatever other muck you're having.

It's a bit like killing a cockroach. There'll be another along shortly.

To be such a f*ckwit that you get fired from Fox News in Trumpian America though. Fair dues. I didn't think stupidity of that magnitude existed.

Curious. You ask who cares what the USA get up to and then go on some kind of unhinged rant.

The USA is the wealthiest and most influential country in the world. It's also a significant investor in and trading partner for Ireland as well as being a pillar of support against the Brits. More than reason enough there if you ask me.

I'm curious as to why you are so curious. America brings literally nothing to my table, or to anybody else's table in my own community, so why should I realistically care what happens to some hairdo on one of its TV stations. Seriously? Is there not many more pressing matters to adhere to here?

If America, in your eyes is such a significant investor and trading partner here 'against the Brits' or whatever the Hell that means, why are they allowing our current health and housing disaster to continue unabashed by the current fools supposedly in charge of this place? Or do they not actually give a f**k, like everybody here shouldn't equally give a f**k about them? But hey, you keep carrying on caring about Tucker Hunter Carslon or whoever the Hell is over there that doesn't give a hole about you. It's clearly doing you some service so have at it.

Because I am sick of seeing Americanised bull$hit infest an Irish based forum with Americanised bull$hit that doesn't affect my community. And I have every right to call it out. Or you can ban me and continue your yank love in with yanks who wouldn't even care where you are on a map, let alone know where you are.

So nobody should be interested in anything at all beyond their own little fiefdom.

He was a walking fallacy. His show was like a lesson in how to break every rule of argument and people loved it, that was the depressing part and when questioned they simply called it "entertainment", the problem is that "entertainment" is enough for some people to apparently merit violence. Glad it ended this way and not with some huge violent event, although I'm sure he will be replaced with emotive stooge #24897
