Why arent they outraged at Fox for costing shareholders money?
I guess they dont have any skin in the game.
Big Hat .... No Cattle.
Shocker.
Budweiser canned the folks who starred an immature transvestite woman-child in an ad campaign. They lost market share and market cap. Fox canned a popular but controversial and dishonest host who they saw as a liability. They will lose market share and lost market cap. What specifically are you trolling? Are you turning this topic into one of your stock price tirades? Which semi-famous person are you going to reference your friendship with?
Actually, that didn't happen.
Poor Oski.
He's wrong an awful lot.
Terribly misinformed.

I apologize. They were placed on involuntary leaves of absence.
Reposting above due to the jerk purposely ignoring it.
Okaydo is not a jerk.
He simply seldom posts replies and engages in back-and-forth.
Don't take it personally. I've given him compliments and seen no reply just the same.
Good on you, though, for correcting your post.

Always with the snarky yet obtuse comment. Clearly, Wags drew first blood, insulted, and misrepresented what happened. Unfortunately, it is his MO.
And your MO is whining and complaining and name calling when called on your "both sides" contrarian BS.

"Last year, your favorite Fox News reporters were able to attend because they were fully vaccinated and boosted. This year, with that $787 million settlement, they're here because they couldn't say 'No' to a free meal. And hell, I'd call Fox 'Honest, Fair and Truthful,' but then I could be sued for defamation," said the president."

Despite working for cable news for his entire career, he has a completely genuine and authentic take on how bad cable news is. It's purely ironic that Jon Stewart roasted your bow tie prep-schooled elite hero for his role in cable news' assault on our senses that Carlson has now pretended to adopt, days after getting canned from his cushy cable news job.
Amazing how you guys lionize these people.
Liars, hypocrites, and the morons that adore them.

Anyone find it ironic that there's grown adults arguing amongst themselves, complete with name calling in a thread titled Tucker Carlson??
Quite fitting. The Angry Man's thread!!

I had to look it up.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tucker-carlson-owns-swanson/
Patricia Swanson, who married Tucker Carlson's father when Tucker was 10 years old, is an heiress to the wealth generated by the Swanson TV dinner company her grandfather Carl Swanson founded. But the family sold Swanson-branded food products to Campbell's in 1955. Details about how much Patricia Swanson inherited have not been made public.

You should start watch Ari Melber MSNBC at 3pm M-F. You might learn something.
Ari explains Ted Cruz on tape plotting for a Coup, where his so-called Commission would decide who won the election.

I agree.

This article delves into more details about why Tucker was fired, including revelation about an email Tucker sent to a colleague about a video clip of 3 white Trumpists jumping and beating a black antifa kid:
"I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they'd hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it," he wrote.
The email may have been suddenly revealed to Tucker in a gotcha moment on the stand, further embarrassing Foxnews.
They settled, fired Tucker.

Here is the rest of his email:
"Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off. This isn't good for me. I'm becoming something I don't want to be. The antifa creep is a human being... I shouldn't gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody loves this kid and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don't care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is."

Yeah, that wasn't excluded in my post.
But come on! Is that your defense?
That he actually does have a conscience?
No! Not good enough!
Anyone who sees 3 men beating up another and cheers them on hoping the victim is killed as his initial reaction is messed up. Blood sport.
And when it's a black guy who's getting whooped by 3 whities, you actually ARE the racist white supremacist everyone who has listened to your shows says you are.
You like the comment about how white men fight, eh?

It's racism. It's not anymore vile than what folks here condone when it is directed at other races.SBGold said:You have no outrage or sentiments about the vile racism. It's tellingoski003 said:SBGold said:

Why are you surprised by what Tucker wrote? Did you not believe him when he presented himself as a white nationalist?
I think what oski was saying was that human beings are complex and it is not often just black and white. Most people are not just one dimensional caricatures even if it may be easier to digest to make them out to be one while scoring some political points with the tribe on the same side. Oski was referring not only to the racist statement on how one race fights. He was referring to Tucker's own recognition of how the political tribalism we see even here every day makes him feel things that even he realizes is wrong.
I truly believe that there are a couple of hundred million Americans who are totally sick of this Left Wing Media vs, Right Wing Media crap and just want to work together w/o a lot of bullsh*t and have a great country.

Newt Gingrich set into motion a strategy more that 30 years ago that makes your desires, and those of millions of Americans, permanently un achievable.
" But Gingrich had a plan. The way he saw it, Republicans would never be able to take back the House as long as they kept compromising with the Democrats out of some high-minded civic desire to keep congressional business humming along. His strategy was to blow up the bipartisan coalitions that were essential to legislating, and then seize on the resulting dysfunction to wage a populist crusade against the institution of Congress itself."
