Carlson and quite a few of the gop preach "Christian Values" but in reality there lying , grifting pigs
Can't stop thinking of Succession when the Murdochs are mentioned... Tucker Carlson’s Prayer Talk May Have Led to Fox News Ouster: “That Stuff Freaks Rupert Out” ...According to a source, Carlson wasn’t even fired and remains on the Fox News payroll. So the mystery remains: Why did Fox News take its biggest star off the air? A new theory has emerged. According to the source, Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch removed Carlson over remarks Carlson made during a speech at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary gala on Friday night. Carlson laced his speech with religious overtones that even Murdoch found too extreme, the source, who was briefed on Murdoch’s decision-making, said. Carlson told the Heritage audience that national politics has become a manichean battle between “good” and “evil.” Carlson said that people advocating for transgender rights and DEI programs want to destroy America and they could not be persuaded with facts. “We should say that and stop engaging in these totally fraudulent debates…I’ve tried. That doesn’t work,” he said. The answer, Carlson suggested, was prayer. “I have concluded it might be worth taking just 10 minutes out of your busy schedule to say a prayer for the future, and I hope you will,” he said. “That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,” the source said. Carlson declined to comment. A spokesperson for Fox Corp. declined to comment. It’s been reported that Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott made the decision to fire Carlson on Friday night. Another source, a person close to Murdoch, has said something similar to me. Scott informed Carlson of the decision on Monday morning. Rupert Murdoch was perhaps unnerved by Carlson’s messianism because it echoed the end-times worldview of Murdoch’s ex-fiancée Ann Lesley Smith, the source said. In my May cover story, I reported that Murdoch and Smith called off their two-week engagement because Smith had told people Carlson was “a messenger from God.” Murdoch had seen Carlson and Smith discuss religion firsthand. In late March, Carlson had dinner at Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard with Murdoch and Smith, according to the source. During dinner, Smith pulled out a bible and started reading passages from the Book of Exodus, the source said. “Rupert just sat there and stared,” the source said. A few days after the dinner, Murdoch and Smith called off the wedding. By taking Carlson off the air, Murdoch was also taking away his ex’s favorite show. Smith did not respond to a request for comment. The 92-year-old mogul’s broken engagement is part of a string of erratic decisions he has made of late that raises questions about Murdoch’s leadership of his media empire. According to sources, executives at Fox are worried about Murdoch’s unsteady hand at the wheel of the company. “It’s like the King is senile but no one wants to say anything,” the source said. According to two sources, Fox settled with Dominion moments before the trial was set to begin because Fox’s lawyers didn’t want Murdoch to testify in public. “They were hoping and praying to settle for months, but they didn’t want to pay up,” the second source said. Once the trial began, the lawyers told Fox execs that Murdoch would be “disgraced on the stand, run out of the boardroom, and his testimony will expose him as a lunatic sliding into senility.” (The person close to Murdoch disputed this. “Rupert was very well prepared to testify.”) Moar thoughts. Moar prayer. The Answer. Eat your hearts out libs.
I have actually thought of this… out of billions of people on the earth, I really think that no one is more synonymous with the term “douche bag” than Tucker Carlson- he embodies every single connotation of douche bag.
I have actually thought of this… out of billions of people on the earth, I really think that no one is more synonymous with the term “douche bag” than Tucker Carlson- he embodies every single connotation of douche bag. This isn’t hard. All Tucker had to do was not sexually harass every moderately attractive woman that he came across at Fox News. It’s not hard - he doesn’t even have the excuse of being a relic like Bill O’Reilly that grew up where spiking a girls drink made her your girlfriend. At the end of the day Tucker was too big of an entitled douchebag. From the overt racism, to the incredible sexism… that and not the trolling and lying that got him fired. He will be fine though. I’m sure his Stepford wife will still give him missionary every other weak and he will find a group of white 30-something ex frat boys to laugh at his edgy takes on Russia and the election.
Yeah, but those networks have less viewership and influence. They are the current example of preaching to the converted. The idea that Tucker would make money but influence fewer people isn't a loss in my book.
This part reminded me of how he deeply hates Tom Cruise who tried to recruit Lachlan into Scientology.
