A Fair and Balanced Firing

Tucker Carlson losing his show sounded too good to be true. I won't miss Don Lemon who was also let go of his corporate news position. There was no announcement on Friday night. After years of high ratings, the only God Fox worships, he was removed.

After those texts where he mentioned how he hates Donald Trump- it's not like journalistic integrity ever mattered behind the iron curtain of news. It is amazing how irrelevant certain people become after they are out of the limelight.

Did I ever watch Tucker Carlson? Not really. Hearing his whiny rants and devoting prime time coverage to female M&M's- he also berated management. Sidney Powell has no credibility and might be disbarred for her election lies.

Doesn't mean he should call her the C word. There is a way to badmouth management. David Letterman berated General Electric in his NBC years. Is that why they gave Jay Leno the prestige job? He had high ratings and no one remembers his show which was middle of the road.

John Oliver makes jokes about Warner Bros/Discovery. As well he should. Those are comedy shows. Legally, Tucker Carlson worked for an entertainment network. Not anymore.

Out of sight, out of mind. How little does anyone talk about Glenn Beck now? He had a whiny voice as well. I am a Conservative at heart and cannot listen to whiny men who act like January 6, 2021 was a normal tourist day.

Sometimes LinkedIn suggests I follow Kevin McCarthy. Do you really think he will respond to anyone? He handed over security footage from that darkest of days which Fox morphed into a lovefest.

Tell that to the family of Brian Sicknick. What happened to the "No Spin Zone"? That disappeared when Bill O'Reilly harassed someone sexually leading to a settlement of thirty two million dollars. Fox settles a lot, don't they?

Civility will improve without this program. The culture at Fox will remain the same. Just like drug dealers, take one off the street and another will replace him. The next prime time host might be more extreme and will make less money. The network needs to save money for the next settlement. If you advertise on Fox, it is helping to pay their legal fees.
