Does the FOX - Dominion settlement have anything to do with Tucker Carlson and his private emails and conversations in your opinion?
BTW, you are right I mentioned Dominion in connection with Tucker in my much broader post about Tucker's honesty or lack thereof. This was my error. I didn't watch the Tucker Carlson show on FOX nor follow him in the media so how would I know if he specifically lied about Dominion.
If Tucker had said the same things on air as he did in private, would FOX still have fired him? Moreover, would he have been fired sooner because his opinion was inconsistent with what FOX viewers wanted to hear and FOX wanted to feed their viewers. If he wasn't lying to his audience, he also wasn’t really telling them the truth, was he? There is lying and there is also lying by omission. Is one less of a lie than the other?
Tucker did not give any kind of platform to the Dominion allegations, so no Dominion's lawsuit had nothing to do with him. As I mentioned, he tried to get Sidney Powell on his show, but she refused to show up. Had she appeared, he would have ripped her a new one, which is probably why she ghosted him.
I don't know why Fox fired Tucker. Neither one of them has said. And he technically hasn't been fired yet. They just took him off air. He is still under contract. He is likely negotiating his exit and they are trying to see how they can silence him.
Also, Fox is engaged in some pretty dirty stuff, releasing hot mic moments to the New York Times to try and interfere with his ability to get hired somewhere else.
If they do not course correct, they are going to lose their position as ratings juggernaut. They have already been bleeding in ratings since Tucker left, including losing to MSNBC in his time slot. Lawrence Jones is supposedly his temporary replacement. I like him, but no way does he bring in over 3 million viewers a night like Tucker.
