well, the strong, working, independent women would be thinking firing somebody over something he said 10 + years ago is just ridiculous.

Plus, Jr. was right, "For comments made on the “Bubba The Love Sponge” show. Obviously a serious policy show where no satire would be made. "

lol

But that's why everyone is shrieking to get him fired. He's already hated by the SJWs and they think (probably rightly so) that FNC will sack him if they gripe loud enough.
There is a show called Bubba the Love Sponge, seriously? I thought that was a joke.

First Bill O'Reilly, now Tucker Carlson. I guess you extend Martha MacCallum's "The Story with Martha MacCallum"

Carlson's done.

He won't be finished in media, he owns a right-wing publication called the Daily Caller.

But Carlson's offices will be cleared at Fox DC tonight. He's outta there.
Fake news. Tucker rules!

Carlson gets owned quite a bit and it is funny. There is this crossfire episode that Jon Stewart blew him up and then there is a video out there of a Dutch historian who got him to lose his s*** by calling him a millionaire that works for billionaires.

Carlson thinks he is smarter than everybody. When he gets squeezed by somebody smarter than him he can't handle the truth and then melts down. It is fun to watch.

There are some recordings making the rounds that suggest he could be a liability for the network.

Maybe.

Neither do I what?

He shouldn't apologize for something he said years ago. He showed up in a stupid show and said something questionable. If he apologized, that means he thought he should be fired. forget about that.

Plus, he already said it, "“Media Matters caught me saying something naughty on a radio show more than a decade ago," Carlson said Sunday night in a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter. "Rather than express the usual ritual contrition, how about this: I’m on television every weeknight live for an hour. If you want to know what I think, you can watch. Anyone who disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why.”

This is exactly how it should be handled.
