Thoughts on Tucker Carlson’s Firing
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | April 24, 2023 | Sundance

Posted on 04/25/2023 1:50:43 AM PDT by gattaca

This is a context you won’t find elsewhere {smiles}. The phone has been blowing up…. Context and some details matter.

First, Carlson was being paid about $20 million a year by Murdoch. He had about 3 years left on his contract and will be paid the full contract amount. Carlson found out about 10 minutes before Fox Corp made the announcement. They did not “part ways,” Tucker Carlson was fired.

(Via WSJ) – Mr. Carlson, whose contract was renewed in 2021, will be paid out for the rest of his contract, people familiar with the matter said. Mr. Carlson is paid about $20 million a year, one of the people said. Mr. Carlson found out he was being let go about 10 minutes before the network announced his departure, the people said. (link)

For financial context, remember Rupert Murdoch paid Megyn Kelly $15 million (Via Harper Collins) for the 2015/2016 operation against Donald Trump. Paying $60 to $100 million to get rid of Carlson’s antagonistic voice is small money to Murdoch Inc. in the grand scheme of things. [Murdoch has also paid for Ron DeSantis to oppose Trump]

Carlson will not be asked to sign an NDA, is not bound by a “non-compete” clause following the contract nullification by Fox Corp, and will be free to do anything he wants in any venture. Additionally, he will be free to say whatever he wants about the issues at Fox and speak freely, or not, without any legal or contractual constraints. Keep all of that in mind.

Thanks to PDJT, there's no amount of money that can fix the WuFlu abdication that led to vote authentication proof election fraud from here to eternity. Nobody is winning anymore.

The Demonrats will just mail it in every time.

This:

Heh, that's what Fox gets for blindsided Tucker.

GOOD FOR HIM!

Fox was shut off for good last night because of Tucker, waiting to see where he’ll be

It is braindead wokism ideology where corporatism shoots itself in the foot. Is the lack of common sense a vax-induced psychosis? There’s a lot of it going around right now.

Having just earned about $60M, and having just been set free to do absolutely whatever he wants, and having seen a huge outpouring of support from millions of outraged Americans, I sure hope Tucker does not hang himself in despair.

Cable news programs don’t care about viewers. Their top advertisers don’t pay for ad time to sell products to viewers. They pay for ad time so the network will peddle the company’s propaganda — whether it be Pfizer and its Nazi COVID vaccines, Boeing and its aircraft and military hardware sales to foreign governments, or “green energy” companies that can’t exist without massive government subsidies.

The propaganda cycle only ends when the viewers all disappear — because even the dumbest PR hack knows that propaganda is useless without an audience.

OK-when-not-off-his-meds Beck has a television studio in Texas sitting in mothballs, . . . for years.

After the War, New America will need lots of news outlets.

One would think that smart folks would get together and maybe make a new system to support the America First Agenda.

Or are they simply in it all for the money?

Thank you for this information. I was wondering if he would have constraints.

Time for the rebellion SHOULD include firing of Shawn Hannity,Laura Ingraham, and lastly, Ainsley Earhardt and Pete Hegseth. I am amazed at the deceitful amount of information foisted upon a public of listeners who are in desperate need of truth. Why’d they do it? Same reason Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest do what they do. There is no difference.

Wonder what Musk thinks of this. Is there a new station in our future. I bet he’s pondering.

“Murdoch has also paid for Ron DeSantis to oppose Trump”

They both chose poorly and will realize that one day.
