Why Did Fox Fire Tucker Carlson? Far-Right Host Helped Fox Mainstream Hate, Conspiracies to Millions

[@gishgishgish]

Amy completely passes over the most obvious reason he was fired: He stopped saying the things the owners of the network wanted him to say. He started telling the truth and that was a no-no.

[@armtruth]

Exactly; where is the actual journalism

[@bettyweir3075]

He had RFK Jr. on his show. RFK Jr. said he is running against Joe Biden. He also holds views opposing vaccine mandates and why Americans are fighting in Ukraine?

[@auntbutton905]

Fxcker Carlson started telling the truth, you say? OMG, you are too funny! The Faux News texts, including Carlson's, literally prove that they were deliberately lying about the election. Carlson is incapable of telling the truth.

[@paulheydarian1281]

I used to watch Democracy Now! on a daily basis, but then I realized that it was Tucker Carlson who was covering the Government better than DN! He was a "troublemaker" to both the left and right. When Glenn Greenwald appeared on Tucker Carlson almost on a weekly basis, then I became a regular viewer.

[@collinshardyproust]

Tucker was a phenomenon. I didn’t agree with him sometimes but I greatly admire the pluck with which he spoke up against the government corruption and the deep state and George Soros. He got some things wrong but more often than not he was telling unpleasant truths thd mainstream media wouldn’t cover.

[@alankorce3435]

I used to watch a lot of DN as well. It was a great source for alternate opinions at one point. Wow. This was just... Ridiculous. And pretty much the current standard for DN. It's sad to see what DN has turned into. Originally I assumed that Tucker Carlson was just another talking head and not worth the time it would take to even hear him babble the same garbage I could get anywhere else. Then I watched a couple of his clips here on KZbin. I became cautiously optimistic but I was still skeptical and wary. So I watched more. At this point if he's talking I am going to listen. He is telling the Truth to the best of my knowledge. Fox has definitely 'Budweiser'd' itself.

facts are facts. Truth is truth. Alternate facts are not facts, nor the truth. Some journalism is better at dispersing the truth and the facts than others. Fox? rarely tells the truth. Why I won't watch them. I have other sources that are much better at dispersing facts and the truth on world affairs, and national affairs.

I am so disappointed in you Amy. Have you ever watched Tucker’s show? The information you are giving in this piece is utterly false and rumor filled. As an avid watcher of both you and he, Tucker constantly had black men and woman speaking on issues. I have never heard him report with a white supremacy spin or homophobic tone. But I guess asking questions and doing actual journalism is now a crime. And just reporting on what’s being pushed on the people isn’t. I expected more from you and this program.

Tucker also spoke out against the advertisers like big pharma and defense guiding content in the media on April 19th. If anything that is "biting the hand" that got him booted. Sexual harassment means nothing to fox.

[@mygunisinnocent8028]

I think you're right. Tucker was warned not to talk smack about big pharma and the vaccines, but did it anyway. Years ago when Bill O'rielly worked at Fox, he was asked why he never criticized big pharma, and said he was warned by his bosses at Fox not to do it.

@@theangryhobos The problem I have with the narrative you're trying to run with is that it sweeps the lies under the rug because he told the truth about some issues. It doesn't matter what he told the truth about if he's willing to lie about so many other issues for ratings. It say's something about his character. There's no getting around it, no matter how much you like him. It takes a special kind of person to get on live television and lie to millions of people.
