Shares of News Corp have lost $500 million since Tucker was canned.

Where are all of the "woke" anti-Trans (Budweiser) posters today?
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?
One was an idiotic marketing campaign by a marketing executive who didn't know the target audience. It was intended to expand the customer base but shrank it instead.

The other was legal and HR risk management and reducing future liability, with embarrassing texts betraying duplicity that may just be tip of the iceberg when the next litigation goes deeper in discovery and a separate litigation pending on toxic work environment with the type of allegation that has led to many famous and powerful people getting canned because of control liability of the corporation if they do not take remedial actions.

Some people think this recent episode was the reason why Rupert Murdoch fired Tucker. Tucker also had Democratic presidential hopeful, Robert Kennedy Jr., on his shown last week. If Fox News lost advertisers because of these episodes, maybe it wasn't a difficult decision for Murdoch, Paul Ryan, and the rest of the board of directors.

RFK Jr. is a "presidential hopeful" like I have been a Cal Football and Basketball "hopeful" for the past several years.

Putting stuff like this in writing can only be the by product of arrogance intersecting with stupidity.

Oh look, my Bearinsider stalker just showed up again.

Funny how BUD was at a 3 year high and had rallied 50% in the last 6 months before losing some market-cap to profit taking. But the Right Wing Low IQ crowd blamed the profit-taking on embracing a transgender.

Oh look.
It's a tad higher than when the Low IQ crowd played the "blame" game.
Shocker.

Almost everything is on a three year high from April 2020, when Covid wrecked the market. Not surprising that you cherry-picked that low IQ date. I detailed this in another post, which you clearly didn't observe the clearly laid out facts. DUH! SHOCKER!

One of the bigger growth stock funds on the board with $7 Billion in AUM, Cathie Woods' ARK Innovation.
Held $27.9 BILLION in AUM in January of 2021.

Trading lower than it was 3 years ago and down 78% since it's peak.
Yes, higher interest rates hurt growth stocks.
Who knew?

The #1 anchor on Fox "News" opens with a "what if" conspiracy theory likening My Pillow to Pablo Escobar.

Hmmmm. That might have something to do with it.
Embroiled in lawsuits and hundred million dollar payouts, someone suggested "Let's Get Back To Basics: NEWS".

Nah, that would make far too much sense.

1) Replying to you is clearly not stalking you.

2) My 4 year old knows what the word almost means. You have an extreme lack of reading comprehension. Almost everything is not the same as everything. VTI (Vanguard Total Market) is nearly double at >$200 from $115 in Late March/April 2020.

3) You are purposely misquoting me like an AMATEUR CLOWN who doesn't have a clue and is making BOGUS statements. If you had a clue, you'd be very well aware that your statement is totally bogus.

Sounds like your definitions are about as "loose" as a two-bit hooker during Fleet Week.
Almost . . . and now Nearly.

VTI was NOWHERE NEAR $115 per share in April 2020.
It had a daily closing range of $122.96 - $146.03

Closed the month at $145.84
Currently at $200.86

That's not "nearly a double."
It's + 37.7%

Even using the lowest close of the month ($122.96) its not "nearly a double."
It's + 63%

Duh.

I wouldn't take it to heart. No one here, especially those who are addicted to this site, will have any bearing on your day to day life. The people who know you in real life are the only ones who should count.

This is just entertainment. I realized that, as more and more posters here got under my skin, I needed better and saner perspective. Just ask yourself, why do you care what someone / anyone who spends inordinate amount of time here thinks about you? That person is just a stranger with possibly a not-so-glorious addiction to an obscure forum. Once you have that perspective, you won't take things personally, and you won't feel the need to make personal attacks.

He cares.
He truly cares because he has an ego the size of TEXAS.

Otherwise, why would anyone follow another poster around an anonymous forum like this in the first place, obsessing over what is being posted, and constantly trying to "prove" something to a bunch of strangers?

Speaking of addictions . . .

I guess you missed the "Vaccine Redux" thread in which Oski003 easily makes up one-third of the 3500 posts.
He followed Unit2sucks around that thread like a lost puppy dog.

Tucker Carlson's firing ripped a hole in the far-right media's heart

Herb Scribner and Avi Selk
Tue, April 25, 2023, 2:15 PM PDT


A Tucker Carlson-shaped hole ripped open in the far-right mediaverse at approximately 11:30 a.m. Eastern time Monday. The Fox News host's sudden firing tore through the network of conspiracy theorists and race-and-gender-obsessed provocateurs that had loosely revolved around Carlson, who often used his top-rated show to amplify fringe voices to a national audience.

"His show has been a major platform for dissident voices and his absence will leave a void in the media landscape," Andrew Torba, who has been flagged by the Anti-Defamation League for attacks on Jews, wrote on Gab, the hate-speech-riddled social media site he runs.


Torba was platformed by Carlson in 2017, when the host invited him onto his show and praised Gab as the website for people who "just believe in free speech."

Carlson, who could not immediately be reached for comment, might argue that he can't be responsible for the behavior of everyone who has appeared on his show over the years. Nevertheless, a striking number of extreme figures wrote him thank-you notes in the wake of his termination, and some credited the host for helping launch them to popularity.

The fringe website Revolver - whose lead writer was invited onto Carlson's show in 2021 to spread misinformation about an NBC News reporter - published a running list of odes from people whose careers the host boosted. It was titled: "Tucker's never-before-revealed random acts of kindness that people are now sharing will bring a tear to your eye."

On the list was Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik, whose running collection of anti-LGBTQ tweets has been blamed for inciting threats against hospitals that treat transgender children.

"Tucker is one of the most genuine, kindhearted, and authentic people I ever had the honor of meeting," Raichik tweeted Monday afternoon above a photo of the pair in Carlson's studio. "Him and his team embraced and supported me throughout my journey of running LoTT and being doxed. I'm excited to see what he does next, I know it will be great!

Catturd, a Twitter troll who made it onto the show after posting a cartoon of someone peeing on the Ukrainian flag, predicted Carlson's network would not survive without him. "The end of Fox News," Catturd tweeted.

And the conspiracy theorist Jimmy Dore interrupted his usual flood of tweets scaremongering about the coronavirus vaccine to post clips of his appearances on Carlson's show. (Dore avoided the topic of vaccines in a segment this year, focusing instead on how he believed the United States was responsible for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the military-industrial complex controlled all politics.

Carlson's appeal went far beyond the obscure personalities he occasionally launched to fame. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" averaged more than 3 million nightly viewers and was cable news's most-watched show in the 25-to-54-age demographic. The host's still-unexplained firing was felt across the conservative and mainstream media and could reshape news consumption in ways that are only now becoming apparent.


Former president Donald Trump said on Newsmax on Monday night that the departure surprised him. He called Carlson a "very good man" with "very high ratings" who had been "terrific to me."

Donald Trump Jr., a frequent guest on Carlson's show, called the firing "mind-blowing to me."

And Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) - another former guest - released a five-minute video in which he thanked Carlson for supporting him.

"That's one of the few voices in the Republican Party that would call out the nonsense from GOP senators, governors and otherwise," Gaetz said.

Looks like Rupert finally showed Tucker who's boss. WSJ has the story!

"Some of the people pointed to concerns that the populist firebrand had come to believe himself bigger than the networka cardinal sin in Fox Corp. Chair Rupert Murdock's empire - and was increasingly operating as his own island."

The WSJ is a division of Dow Jones, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.





Consider Rupert's deposition in the Dominion case:

Asked whether he could have told Fox News' chief executive and its stars to stop giving airtime to Rudy Giuliani a key Trump campaign attorney peddling election lies Murdoch assented. "I could have," Murdoch said. "But I didn't."

Well, now Rupert HAS!
And look who has the story to explain why Tucker got fired? Rupert's own and most respected publication!

How ironic that Tucker built a career carefully (recklessly?) destroying people's reputations - now it's the old man who is putting the boy down.
The boy better lay down dead, lest Rupert continue his assault. Nobody controls people's reputations better than Rupert.

Tucker Carlson:

"And then at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all. War. Civil liberties. Emerging science. Demographic change. Corporate power. Natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It's been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media."

War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic shifts, corporate greed, and dwindling natural resources are all topics liberals talk about all the time.

It just doesn't happen on Fox News. Over there they are shouting down the discussion as liberal talking points or fearmongering while their heroes attack Disney World, drag queens, minorities, and women's rights.

Maybe Tucker is revealing himself to be a liberal. He is from San Francisco after all.

Tucker is a libertarian but in current times, that equates to being a fascist.

That's more than 2x the amount Tucker Carlson got a night on Fox.

Also Tucker Carlson: why aren't M&Ms more f()ckable and why men should tan their scrotum.

He's a fraud and his entire schtick has always been a grift on gullible wankers. He has no core beliefs other than to be whatever he needs to be to feed his ego. He's a trust fund baby pretending to care about joe sixpack. He's about as authentic as an AI generated talk show host or our prior president.

Everything you need to know about him is apparent when he dies inside after John Steward destroys him.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tucker-carlson-issues-vague-statement-002733710.html

I read this line and thought, "Oh, he's full on a radical anarchist who no longer believes in America."

Maybe, next, Tucker will start his own little Coup - without the help of Trump.


Carlson finished his statement by saying that America's "current orthodoxies won't last" and there "aren't many places left" where one can find "Americans saying true things."

"Both political parties, and their donors, have reached consensus on what benefits them, and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one-party state. That's a depressing realization, but it's not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won't last. They're brain dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone's life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue. And so it won't," Carlson said. "The people in charge know this; that's why they're hysterical and aggressive. They're afraid. They've given up persuasion, they're resorting to force. But it won't work. When honest people say what's true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars, who have been trying to silence them, shrink and they become weaker. That's the iron law of the universe. True things prevail. Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren't many places left, but there are some. And that's enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon."

Tucker is really disgusting.
He foments the opposite of patriotism.
He foments derision.

Tucker is the Anti-American.
Tucker is an agent of our enemies. He offers NOTHING constructive, nothing instructive, nothing keenly insightful. He offers destruction.

Tucker Carlson:

"And then at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all. War. Civil liberties. Emerging science. Demographic change. Corporate power. Natural resources. When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues? It's been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media."

War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic shifts, corporate greed, and dwindling natural resources are all topics liberals talk about all the time.

It just doesn't happen on Fox News. Over there they are shouting down the discussion as liberal talking points or fearmongering while their heroes attack Disney World, drag queens, minorities, and women's rights.

Maybe Tucker is revealing himself to be a liberal. He is from San Francisco after all.

Also Tucker Carlson: why aren't M&Ms more f()ckable and why men should tan their scrotum.

He's a fraud and his entire schtick has always been a grift on gullible wankers. He has no core beliefs other than to be whatever he needs to be to feed his ego. He's a trust fund baby pretending to care about joe sixpack. He's about as authentic as an AI generated talk show host or our prior president.

Everything you need to know about him is apparent when he dies inside after John Steward destroys him.


I think Stewart nailed it when he said Tucker is a d*ck.

Pompous, entitled, bow-tie wearing, private school, trust fund ***** who somehow convinced middle class America that he gets their angst.

Like hell he does.

But it was also Stewart who created the monster that Tucker became. He would have just died a slow death on CNN if he had not facilitated his demise from Crossfire and CNN.

Instantly gives Tucker more credibility. Not that I actually watched Fox, normally I just watch clips of Tucker on Bit//chute, but that's going to be a huge audience loss for Fox.

He got fired for lying and costing the company $750M and you say that makes him more credible?

Please describe your twisted logic.

I personally think once his true feelings of hatred for Trump and his sycophants came out, which diverged greatly from the persona he portrayed on TV to cater to the MAGA crowd, his stay was not truly possible. That, together with his general disregard for the truth on TV (including truth that he even held on a personal level), as well as claims of a toxic work environment, created too much future liability paired with weakened credibility.

It will be a hit for Fox News in the short run, but a gain in assets (i.e. reduced loss contingencies) in the long run.

But he was not the main or even a big target of the Dominion case and that certain Fox Business reporter who was the biggest spreader of lies is still there. And he didn't go down fighting for some high principle. Instead the text showed he was just a showman that was not true to his own principles.

People that like Trump or wanted him for president don't demand obedience from our news anchors. Tucker regularly had Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore, even recently Matt Taibbi on as guests, do you believe those are pro-Trumpers? lol. We pretty much just demanded an anti-war stance, or at least not cheering it on. I couldn't stand the other programs and anchors at Fox.
So many areas of disagreement with you & Tucker on so many things, but I appreciate his (& your) willingness to hear what GG, Dore, & Taibbi had to say, and his willingness to question NeoCon foreign policy and the rush to full-on proxy war with Russia.

We have a 1st Amendment for a reason!

Oh look, my Bearinsider stalker just showed up again.

Funny how BUD was at a 3 year high and had rallied 50% in the last 6 months before losing some market-cap to profit taking. But the Right Wing Low IQ crowd blamed the profit-taking on embracing a transgender.

Oh look.
It's a tad higher than when the Low IQ crowd played the "blame" game.
Shocker.



Almost everything is on a three year high from April 2020, when Covid wrecked the market. Not surprising that you cherry-picked that low IQ date.
Oh look, my Bearinsider stalker is here again.

It's not surprising that an "amateur" thinks that "everything is on a three year high"

If you had a clue, you'd be very well aware that your statement is totally bogus.
But you dont.



3) You are purposely misquoting me like an AMATEUR CLOWN who doesn't have a clue and is making BOGUS statements.


That is his m.o. That is why I have blocked him.

So, you're going to blame Stewart for Tucker becoming a d*ck?
Pfft. That's a joke!

Tucker always had it in him! And, personal responsibility!
