I still dont know why Tucker Carlson was fired. What a waste of time.

[@aleuttrel2260]

Fox lost over a billion dollars in both the Dominion fraud law suit, then the defamation lawsuit because of tuckers lies... But it is their own fault for wanting him to lie...

[@jeffm5991]

Interesting, a clip titled "Why Fox News fired Tucker Carlson" neglects to mention why Fox News fired Tucker Carlson.

[@Ahicksaf]

They fired him for his anti war views. The sooner you realize it the less brainwashed you americans would be

[@enriquemireles8947]

What was left out was that Fox recently hired Bud Lights VP of marketing.

[@mikelight495]

As far as fox hiring buds v.p. of marketing is genius. Over 50% of Americans are female not counting l.g.b.t.q. sometimes bad news can be beneficial in the media. Look at all the free advertising bud has gotten. Be them light, lite are lower in calories & as such are preferred by females. As far as macho, chauvinistic males any male who drinks light beer is a lite weight. How about this. In the recent past Miley Cyrus was slammed for her wrecking ball. Her video of her crawling across a bar provocatively in front of a bunch of dirty old men caused much controversy. In the meantime her wrecking ball garnered 4 top 20 hits. 2 of which were top ten. One of which were #1. As far as "gentleman's clubs" need I say anymore? Would a true gentleman patronize such a venue?

[@hydroaegis6658]

[@mikelight495]

All this acrimony? Forget it. There is nothing we can do about it. The current threat of the government going bankrupt? We (u.s.) have done everything but declare bankruptcy protection. Now technically defaulted & once again are threatened with the debt ceiling already being reached here comes the process of a emerging default on u.s. & it's substantial, frantic fear to make its being passed. We already, as for reaching the debt ceiling we are already bankrupt. The interest rate is variable. All these trillions are borrowed. Subsequently the interest on said debt? One can be certain it is not going to go down. I am very stupid but I have noticed a tsunami of new currency printed in 2017 along with the recent shortage of .25 cent coins replaced with "new" coins. You can be sure that the new were circulated with more than being taken out of circulation. The new coins look pretty much the same. Making them appear less conspicuous. The 2017 bills? Why are we just seeing more & more of them? Surprise. They are diluting the value of our currency. In other words if you think inflation is bad now? It has just begun. As far as the lost supply of russian oil. Rightfully so saudi arabia has made it clear they will control the amount of oil production. we (u.s.) have attempted to coerce Saudi Arabia into selling u.s. oil below the true market price. All I will say is hopefully the price of gas remains under $12.00 a gallon. I wonder how the influence of the biden family's (hunter) activities with Russias oil interest will enrich them. Regardless who becomes president the office of the presidency will have been held for 28 years by the time be it if biden & trump are re elected & serve 4 years will have been held by only 4 presidents. I give Bush junior & Clinton a pass as I liked them. As far as the bidens go if he is re elected by 2028 will he have created an autocracy like communist Cuba where Fidel Castro appointed his brother to succeed him? If so we will have hunter as our president in 2028 when Joe's term ends. I will end this with happiness. A fire fighter rescued a kitty from a tree today.

This whole bud light thing? Over half of the u.s. population are female not including l.g.b.t.q. marketing geniuses. Light beers are favored by females as for its decreased calorie count. Imagine this. All this hatred is "free" advertising. Dylan. on top of it all it is a blatant slap in the face for the intolerant. Like how much damage this Lia thomas thing. she has caused so much negative news all for her selfish self serving publicity & mockery of woman's sports.

[@mikelight495]

Almost a billion? It was a settlement. The truth has been compromised. If it was settled we will never know the truth. I think fox used it as an excuse. Fox now is a bidenette. Like how has the laptop thing not been pursued? Think about this. Biden has been force feeding his policies on u.s. like an autocratic maniac. Just think of this. If Biden has a way who will he appoint as his replacement? Hunter.

[@mikelight495]

​@@swaggerfox10 to: @swaggerfox 10. You are a genius. I could not come up with the words as you did. It was pre determined as you put it. Who do you think bankrolled the whole thing behind the curtain. Who is trying to bias the media? For that matter Don lemon is a very important reporter. As far as cost his contract will only cost $20,000,000. To buy out. A bargain. I believe that the same entity is behind it. Consolidating both media giants for the same bias. I only hope president trump is favored. I am politically non-denominational. But president trump actually sounds rational.

He cost them more then that, the 787 million was just for the defamation suit, fox also had to settle a fraud suit with Dominion, fox lost way more then a billion dollars for the lies they and Tucker spread.

[@mikelight495]

Bow-wow...

[@mikelight495]

As far as Mr. Carlson. as fox put it "parted ways"... the last time a president (nixon) tried to coerce the media it turned a somewhat small burglary to force nixon to resign. President fords pardon of nixon was political suicide but it put to rest the most horrible person as president. It would have been great to see nixon in prison but president ford sacrificed his re election in 1976. President Ford has been chastised but did what was best for u.s. in the long run. I do get confused. Was it adolf nixon or Richard hitler? We all have seen the results of a state controlled media be it germany, Russia or China. The great German people have not only recovered from hitler but also have preserved their democracy & remnants of hitlers hate machine so we can still see, feel & touch the enormity of a dubious time in history. This is sarcasm. Nixon & hitler were nice guys. They just got bad press. I am certain the media has been soft on the bidens. Take note: our first & second amendments are 1 & 2 as for they are the most important. You cannot have 1 without the other. I own no weapons but if they ban assult style weapons is there any difference compared to semi automatic hunting rifles except for appearance? After which all rifles & hand guns will be banned. I do not see the n.r.a. endorsing anyone like Rittenhouse. Who got away with murder. As far as the n.r.a. members they are the most patriotic of patriots. They were no where near the 1/6 thing. If there is ever a threat to our democracy the n.r.a. will be there to save u.s. p.s. maybe we should ban all types of motor vehicles so as there would be no deaths by drunk drivers. How many deaths would that save? One last thing. Our media has to sometimes color the news to make it more interesting. circulation=revenues=profits. If our media were to bias itself to one party it would be "state" controlled. As far as the bidenettes family the best is yet to come. If we (u.s.) become one party by Joe becoming an autocracy think about this. Biden appointing hunter as our (u.s.) leader. In Cuba Castro appointed his brother as leader. That is o.k. the Cubans do not want to see their island commercialized like Hawaii. The indigenous natives of Hawaii have been displaced. Almost eliminated from their home country. Seeing their home land commercialized. To add insult to injury Hawaii also is being invaded by the floating toilets. A.k.a. cruise ships. Is all this colored enough for you? All replys are welcome. send all of them directly by the round file.

Like how the 2 biggest news reporters (tucker & lemon) regardless of your political orientation are silenced. This is o.k. by me. When you step on the toes of the media is suicidal for those trying to bias the media. Ask nixon/hitler. I say this with the utmost disrespect & vitriol. They were not bad guys they just got bad press.

[@allealexandra4486]

@Ngati Warrior ok I'll play this little game with you, only because I'm bored and haven't wasted my time debating brainwashed extremists in quite a while. Just by googling Tucker Carlson transgender, I got a lot of videos with spicy transphobic titles (and content). He calls transgenrism a cult, lgbt people are extremists who want to turn us gay or transgender, bla bla bla, and he talks to a person who detransitioned, to prove you that transitioning is bad and a mistake. But he doesn't mention at all that any studies that prove this, and if you where to google it you would find multiple papers that state that only 2.5-13% detransition (I chose the lowest and biggest number I saw) And of this people, 35% say that they detransition beacuse PARENTS (transfobic and conservative) told them so. By his logic every single medical procedure should be immediately banned, because spoiler alert, they all leave a big percentage of unsatisfied patients that regret their surgeries, treatments, etc. Depending on medical specialty you can have on average 60-90% of doctors sued for malpraxis (and this are numbers we studied in my country, where suing people for money hasn't yet become a trend like in the US) So why is he pretending that the minority is the rule? why is he pretending like every single transgender woman or transgender man will regret their choice, when in reality, up to 97% are happier after transitioning.

Bend over Americans. Here come the democrats & Republicans. Showing feigned acrimony on the debt ceiling. The truth is behind closed doors there is a conspiracy. That the agreement is already pre determined. It is the same old "stick up" like how when the budget is allowed to pass the deadline, then extended, then we are stuck with a ridiculous raise in the budget. As far as the debt ceiling goes whatever they agree on is already spent. We have tried for decades all kind of resolves. The only resolve that is common among private businesses. e.g. bed, bath & beyond. Is bankruptcy. We (u.s.) should let the debt default. The government can as municipalities do. (detroit) bankruptcy is a viable solution. Raising the debt ceiling at this point will only delay the inevitable. If you are on the edge of bankruptcy will a bank lend you more money without any kind of equity and/or collateral? If we are already at the ceiling we already are bankrupt. As always we are taken as a bunch of fools. I guess Trump was right. The 2020 election was "fixed" what he does not say is he was complicent in this conspiracy. The more acrimony on the surface. The more they can "shill" u.s. it is our money which it is when we allow others to spend they become very generous. like where has the 5.7 trillion "infrastructure" bill gone. I do not see any road or other infrastructure happening. It is time for the younger generations to purge baby boomers from public service. Collectively us b.b.s. have destroyed prosperity in our country. What I love most about the younger generations is their "o.k. boomers" is somehow flattering to a b.b. when in reality it it sarcasm. It goes over b.b.s. heads. got it? o.k. boomers? By the way do you know who will be stuck with paying these trillions back? The younger generations.

[@mikelight495]

[@mikelight495]

Good mourning. r.i.p. to our budgets & prosperity. We (u.s.). Have spent approximately $115. Billion on the useless "war" add that to what n.a.t.o. members have spent collectively. We could have saved russias economy for less & the ukrainians would have been spared the death & destruction of their country. Our sanctions have made russia hungry. The further sanctions are starving them. How is it OUR embargo of russian oil, natural gas & grain are any kind of benefit besides higher prices for the same? Europe is estimated a shortage of n.g. is forthcoming. Obviously oil will suffer the same fate. Over 6 trillion $. That is over 6,000 billions that was spent wrecklessly. I am confused. Where has it gone? Now they want more trillions? I am certain it has already been spent. This partisan acrimony? Just a cover. A distraction so to speak. It takes bi partisan cooperation so to speak to approve this expenditure of this money. Like the 5.7 trillion that was disputed but was quietly approved whe we (u.s.) were not paying attention.
