What’s next for Tucker Carlson? Offers pour in as Fox-watchers debate network’s future
The Washington Times ^ | April 25, 2023 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 04/25/2023 8:39:54 PM PDT by TBP

One America News Network, the Heritage Foundation and BlazeTV founder Glenn Beck were among those publicly eager to welcome Mr. Carlson after Fox News Media unexpectedly cut ties with its top-rated primetime host on Monday.

“We would love to have you here. You won’t miss a beat,” said Mr. Beck, a former Fox News figure, on his BlazeTV program. “Together, the two of us will tear it up. Just tear it up.”

The offers began streaming in after Fox News Media announced that the network and Mr. Carlson had agreed to part ways, touching off a torrent of speculation about why Fox would let go of the influential cable host – and what the future holds for both the network and its former star.

Certainly Mr. Carlson won’t need to scrounge between his sofa cushions for quarters. One America News founder and CEO Robert Herring threw out an eight-figure proposal for the erstwhile host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” telling the Times of San Diego: “I might give him around $25 million. And he would be well worth that!”

Tucker will be fine. He has plenty of options.

According to Megyn Kelly, however, Tucker isn't technically fired yet -- they're negotiating the terms of his exit, and until then, he can't accept or even negotiate other job offers. (He can take note of them, however, and he will have a wide range of choices.)

Joe Rogan is making around $60 million a year, and his audience numbers far exceed anything OAN (or Fox, for that matter) can provide for any of their hosts. Carlson can easily top Rogan.

Heard tonight that far left rolling stone mag is saying Fox supposedly has a bunch of dirt on tucker and will use it if he speaks his mind or something to that effect- they claim it’s gonna get real nasty

if anyone is interested- here is the article- i haven’t read it yet so can’t comment on it personally

“Fox Has a Secret ‘Oppo File’ to Keep Tucker Carlson in Check, Sources Say”

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/fox-news-tucker-carlson-secret-dossier-oppo-file-1234723855/

of course the article has ‘anonymous sources’ and such as their ‘evidence’ so take their report with a grain of salt till more is known

As an aside, I just stopped any and all preset recordings of Fox News programs.

It's not a boycott, I'm sure to return for a program here and there, but no more DVRs of several shows.

(Neilson, please take note)

According to left-wing Snopes, RT didn’t make him an offer.

“Indeed, in private communications released last month as part of the Dominion-Fox lawsuit, the now-fired Fox host gossiped that one such exec “hates us,” claiming she was covertly working against him and other hosts.”

That executive is Suzanne Scott, who has done far more damage than any of the on-air talent.

He’ll start the tucker podcast almost immediately after he is legally cleared to listen to other offers. I would not be shocked if in two years he’s not the next Rush Limbaugh.

He’s already a multi-millionaire, he’s got his own production studio, and he towers over rugrats like Beck and OAN. Anybody offering him a “job” is merely engaging in self-aggrandizement.

The Daily Beast reported in 2018 that “​​emails reviewed and verified” by the outlet “show that Fox’s communications brass have planted negative stories about some of their own top stars, including hosts like Bill O’Reilly and Stuart Varney — the latter of whom is still a Fox employee.”

He needs a platform. And those outlets can pay him very well.

He should just go on Rumble, start a local channel. He’s going to make more money than he ever did before.

According to Michael Savage, it was Lachlan Murdoch and Suzanne Scott, and he says Hannity may have had a hand in it because “He is a very jealous, talentless thug.”

*I would not be shocked if in two years he’s not the next Rush Limbaugh.*

He’d need to develop the sense of humor Rush had. Carson’s too. serious. Could he learn? I think so.
