Did Donald fire Tucker?

[kentuck]

Or request that he be fired?

After all, he must have heard what Tucker said about him behind closed doors and off the record?

I suspect Donald and Rupert are still working together to maintain their "bases"? FOX helps Trump with his base and Trump helps FOX with their viewer numbers.

Tucker was damaged goods in the eyes of many Trump supporters.

1. Tucker hasn't really been a Trumper ever

but he's still very, very awful.

2. The only reason why "no" is a possibility...

...is that Murdoch is not exactly pro-Trump at the moment. He really wants DeSantis, he probably won't GET DeSantis, and then he'll be pro-Trump again if he gets the nomination. But throughout Murdoch's "media empire," he hasn't exactly been giving him glowing coverage.

5. Murdoch is very pragmatic, he'll do what's best for FOX.

3. So, he was fired for telling the truth? Makes sense

4. I take this more as I show of force by Rupert

letting everyone know who’s still the boss.

That time slot is golden for them. O’Reilly then that moron Watters then Tucker. Basically the same ratings regardless of who is the host. I’d bet on Hegseth ending up with the show. Either that or he takes Killmeade’s spot if he gets the 8:00 slot.

6. So Rupert at 92 is an evil genius to his fanboys...

But Biden at 80 is an old confused man (their words, not mine)?!?!

8. Right before grandpa takes his teeth out and has his pills is the best hour for Fox

9. Yep.

I used to see the rerun of O’Reilly at the gym when I was going at 5AM. Bill’s last panel segment was always attractive women. That makes grandpas happy as the drift off to sleep.

T&A has always been a big part of Fox News. Ailes knew what he was doing. I’ll give him that.

10. I just replied to another thread. Replace with one of the crazies about to get ejected

from the House of Representatives.
Or both.

11. My guess - eventually Hegseth or Kilmeade

If it’s Killmeade, Hegseth probably gets the morning show.

7. Tucker's emails and text messages were the most damaging in the lawsuit

There would still be a case, but not as good of one if Tucker hadn't put a whole bunch of stuff in writing.
