That is what I just said, so we agree. Doesn't make it right.

But they didn't fire him because a bunch of 'lefties' -- who don't watch his show anyways -- called for him to be fire.

Sorry -- I wasn't clear.


And yeah -- it speaks to his character.

It does.

It really does.

I definitely don't believe that LOL. You're one of the more vocal conservative posters here. Had a liberal prime time talk show host from CNN or MSNBC been caught on tape saying the things Carlson said about women, I'm quite confident you'd have some things to say about it.
Theyve said far worse on CNN/msnbc that were racist and no one got fired. And that was on their cable news channels not a shock jock show years ago.
This is purely designed to try to take down fox news. Fox is kinng them in ratings, and also exposing the liberals and dem politicians as hypocritical criminals.

The dems/liberals arent offended by anti semitic remarks by a sitting congresswoman, or calls for assaults on trump supporters but are offended by something said on a shock jock show years ago. Yeah...i'm supposed to believe that they are truly offended. This is purely a political hit job.
A perfect example of pelosi's smear tactics being utilized by the left.

Think about it. No real "conservative" or "republican" would defend this sort of thing - it just shows you that Tuckers paid "job" is being the opposite of what is normal.

He was deplorable before the other 7% became deplorable - a new book details, from data, how the true deplorable (almost full time listen to Hate Radio, State TV, etc.) are about 7% of the population.

As far as character, I find little in any media to be of high moral character, he is better than many. If media is the gauge of character then we are in a frightful state.

When you write posts like this, do you realize it sends people to the media to read the story you're referencing?

Somewhere in all that, maybe an "IMHO", or "I predict"?

But it doesn't matter.

It is up to each company/corporation to decide what they want for their business.

Doesn't matter if you don't like it....really it doesn't matter.

The folks calling for Carlson's firing aren't Fox News target audience and definitely don't watch Carlson. They have little to do with the ratings which help to decide what sponsors will be willing to pay for ads during his show.

THe outrage that Fox News might fire him is directed at the 'lefties' but hang on -- if Tucker Carlson's audience would not be impacted by these charges -- they are nothing.....they mean nothing --- then why would Fox News fire him or sponsors walk away.

Oh wait -- because while these charges are old, they do speak to Carlson's character and most people didn't really know about all this stuff. Back in those days we just didn't spread this kind of stuff as fast and with the same scope.

So pout, rant, rage at the lefties -- but it's Fox News deciding what they think their audience wants.

it would take a lot of them to pull out and it isn't likely to happen. Remember they are the most watched network and sponsors know where the money is.
