Probably will end up at newsmax. I did not know that he used to work at CNN and MSNBC. Shows he does not believe what he says. Says what he needs to make money.

From an article in The Atlantic:

To remain on top at Fox, hosts have to be ready to continually ratchet up their rhetoric, because the network’s business model depends on continual audience outrage. But audiences eventually become inured and require new and more extreme input.

This pretty much says it all. It’s opinion as “entertainment”, giving the audience what it wants to hear.

Yes. 20 years ago Lou Dobbs played the part of a woke liberal on CNN. Now he's a diehard Trumper on Fox

The sad part is over the last two years they've steadily gained viewers.

Fox News is a misnomer. It's not a news network, it's an entertainment network. It's WWE for politics. Fans can't get enough and they don't seem to care that it's fake.

I watched Tucker last night - he reminds me of a modern day Rush Limbaugh.

Fortunately Rush Limbaugh is dead. Rupert is not far behind. I'd be satisfied to see career death for Tucker, Hannity, and the other co-conspirators at Faux.

You must be a Don Lemon fan?

Tucker Carlson Is the Emblem of GOP Cynicism

Rumors starting to swirl that Ingraham may be out at Fox News.

Fair and Balanced

I thought this was a parody. Turns out it's not. For what it's worth, it looks like it was a rogue staffer, and Fox took it down immediately and acknowledged it as an error.

In a statement Wednesday, a spokesperson for the network said: “The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed.”

The spokesperson did not respond to an email that asked whether there would be any consequences for the staff members behind the text in the graphic, known as a chyron.

“So, there are probably about 787 million things that I can say about this that was wrong about what we saw last night, but I don’t think I’m going to get into it,” she told reporters.

Her comments about “787 million” were in reference to the settlement in April between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, in which Fox agreed to pay $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit.

That said, wannabe dictator? Seriously? The man was duly elected in a free and fair election. That election has been examined from all angles by all sides and nobody has been able to find any credible evidence that it was rigged. How does that make him a wannabe dictator? Isn't the wannabe dictator the guy who falsely claimed fraud and tried to overturn a lawful election so he could illegally stay in power? I find it so weird that these MAGA people turn truth on it's head so casually. It's really Orwellian.

....every accusation is a GOP confession

Figures it was Tucker Carlson’s producer.

Wonder how much this guy will get:

That's the problem with a landmark settlement for defamation - it opens up the floodgates. How many more are going to take their shot?

I'll tell you what this guy should get: 2000 volts applied to his shaved head!

Oh.

Well, it's not a crime to claim to win an election that you know you lost. It might be a crime to hatch a scheme to stay in office if that scheme involves violating the law. You would think after being tagged with one of the biggest defamation lawsuits in history that these Fox news people would be a bit more careful, but whatever man

It bears repeating that these claims of "liberal media" influencing people are so ridiculous when you have right-wing media like Fox basically misrepresenting information on the daily.
