There may be liberals that are happy, but I have never met one.

[norwaypinesavage]

"the Poynter Institute, a journalism think tank in Florida."

Journalism think tank? That's certainly an oxymoron, if I've ever heard one.

[meyer]

Tucker’s good. He will probably mellow slightly over time, but he’s a conservative through and through, and he doesn’t let the left walk over him. That’s a welcome breath of fresh air.

“Sure is a lot of white guys in the evening, huh?”

Y'all got BET, we got news.

[Popman]

So Juan Williams should have gotten the 9:00 slot ?

That would drive the numbers...

Off the cliff...

[jmaroneps37]

Who said what?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

So true.

[aquila48]

I thought the Boston Herald was conservative.

[catnipman]

Tucker is personable, witty and smart, and his ratings were already higher than megyn’s after only 6 weeks of his new show AND he has a younger demo than many of the other FNC shows, so moving Tucker to megyn’s old slot was a no-brainer.

[ConservativeStatement]

The editorial page is generally right-of-center but select writers tilt lefty.

10 times better anyday than a female skank like Megan. Good riddance to baaaaaaad rubbish!

[dhs12345]

Wonder if he even watches Fox News.

[Cold War Veteran - Submarines]

If the Boston Globe is concerned that means it was a GREAT decision. Go Tucker!

[TLI]

Projection.

[roadcat]

Yay! I was hoping Tucker Carlson would be selected. Who says you have to replace a female with another, it should be based on talent. And Carlson has loads of talent compared to the female idiot that was occupying space there.

[ConservativeStatement]

While the Boston Globe could be concerned, in this instance it is the tabloid competitor the Boston Herald which is generally a more moderate voice.

The Herald has been drifting leftward for years now.

I have been. reading it for most of my life but have decided to abandon it in February. ( I like their Patriots coverage and this may be Brady's last serious run.)

[Mollypitcher1]

I like Lou Dobbs on Fox Biz best but T like Tucker also. I like Dobbs’ sense of humor and maturity.

Me bad! :)
