Sign Of The Times

Leaves? or was fired?

Leaves? or was fired?


I would think
a bit of both

He worked at CNN
and MSNBC before that

2 Other Right Wing Channels
may pick him up
since he gets big amounts of viewers

Leaves? or was fired?

Fired

[arista]

He had just Interviewed Elon Musk.


[In a statement, Fox News said that the network
and Mr Carlson have agreed to "part ways".
His last TV programme was Friday 21 April,
the statement added.
His primetime slot will now be hosted by a
series of interim hosts until a permanent
replacement is found.

The brief two paragraph statement
gave no reason for the decision.

Mr Carlson was not just a popular
evening news programme presenter,
but also a historically influential one.
His shows frequently set the agenda
for conservatives and, by extension,
the Republican Party.

The announcement comes just days after
Fox News settled a defamation lawsuit from
the voting machine company Dominion over
its coverage of the 2020 presidential election.

News of Mr Carlson's departure was also
announced on air by Fox News with a tribute
that thanked him "for his service to the network".]

Slick Liam
does this make you happy

Not at all, because despite all of the hate he has stirred up, all of the conspiracy theories he has spread and the violence he has stoked, the fact that he kept his job until he cost his boss money, doesn’t make me happy

[GiRTh]

Get him on Talk TvGood. He can spread his lies to their half a dozen viewers.

[GiRTh]

Don Lemon has also left CNN

Don Lemon and CNN part ways (https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/24/media/don-lemon-cnn/index.html)

No, it will be one of these 2
in USA

OAN HD and NewsmaxHD

Whichever one goes high enough

[bots]

the usa news channels are insane

Whichever one goes high enoughI think he'll go down the podcast route. Those networks are not big enough for him

[arista]

Don Lemon has also left CNN

[Lemon said his agent told him
Monday morning that CNN had terminated him.]



Thats good
he was very rude to the Women
sitting next to him


[Lemon anchored “CNN This Morning”
with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins.
The show has been on the air for nearly six months.]


He is a Rude git


Added it to the title

[arista]

You Never Know
he could boost them

[GiRTh]

His last show was on Friday so they didn't give him the chance to tell his viewers.

This tell me he was fired

[GiRTh]

You Never Know
he could boost themIts about money. They wont pay him a big salary and I think a podcast with say, a few million views, would be more profitable for him

[bots]

the only reason they say mutual agreement is when they have negotiated down the amount due on his contract, otherwise he would have been fired, but it's the same thing

[arista]

Its about money. They wont pay him a big salary and I think a podcast with say, a few million views, would be more profitable for him



Sure
all possible.

[Crimson Dynamo]

One thing is for sure, he wont be short of offers

[arista]

Not at all, because despite all of the hate he has stirred up, all of the conspiracy theories he has spread and the violence he has stoked, the fact that he kept his job until he cost his boss money, doesn’t make me happy


True.

Added it to the titleAgree with this. Lemon has been an insufferable prick for about a decade

[GiRTh]

One thing is for sure, he wont be short of offersTrue, but there are only few that can pay him what he was on at Fox. Most being mainstream networks. H cant go to any of those though so he's got a huge decision to make.

Couldn't have happened to a more fitting person

[Crimson Dynamo]

[Mystic Mock]

the usa news channels are insane

They really are.

They seem to think it's okay to state stuff as fact without any actual evidence amongst other barmy ideas.

[GiRTh]

They really are.

They seem to think it's okay to state stuff as fact without any actual evidence amongst other barmy ideas.This is why I think Tucker's best option is to go independent.

Free of the constraints of 'Objectivity' and 'Fair and balanced' he'd be able to say whatever he wants

Fox Nation is Worldwide

So Talk TV is cheap and nasty.
Apart from 8PM Live Piers

Tucker is saying things that your masters don't want people to hear. Quick, come to the defence of your masters by hating on Tucker for asking questions. Label him a conspiracy theorist and far-right, that should do the trick to preserve the status quo. How dare he question our masters? Everyone knows that building 7 collapsing was perfectly normal. Our masters experts told us so.

well he is sort of backing him by making Twitter the home of free speech

[Oliver_W]

Elon, himself, has stated

He doesn't have to back Tucker, he doesn't have to back anybody. As long as he doesn't deny Tucker a platform, for which there is no excuse or reason, it's fine.

[user104658]

well he is sort of backing him by making Twitter the home of free speech

It's the home of free speech so long as Musk happens to either agree or be indifferent to whatever has been said. He's made that abundantly clear so far :joker:.

For now I'd say this is probably filed under "indifferent". If he starts criticising Musk or SpaceX or Tesla or any of Musk's other interests he'll be suddenly "less free".

[bots]

if Carlson has a 4 million viewership, thats additional ad revenue for twitter. It's not about free speech, Musk is simply monetising Carlson
