Mark Patricks – The last remaining reason to ever watch Fox News has left the building. The word broke on Monday morning that Tucker Carlson’s final show was last Friday, April 21st. Carlson has not spoken on the matter yet, and even when he does eventually, we will probably never know the whole truth.
It’s tough to view this as anything other than Deep State/Swamp election interference. We’re sorry to see him go, since Carlson remained one of the most articulate voices in the country for the MAGA movement.
I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but Tucker Carlson was the best thing to happen at Fox News in the past two decades. He had the most watched, #1 rated show in primetime, and single-handedly helped keep Fox afloat after Brett Baier’s disastrous early call of Arizona for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Fox News was the highest-rated cable news channel of the past 20 years and owed it entirely to Tucker Carlson.
Seriously, what else was worth watching on Fox News at this point? Gregg Gutfeld is funny, but I can only handle him for about 10 minutes at a time. I still haven’t forgiven Gutfeld for throwing Nick Sandmann and the Covington Catholic MAGA kids under the bus before all the facts were in, either.
Sean Hannity has been unwatchable since he went off the deep end, cheated on his wife with some ditzy Fox News blonde, and got divorced. Yeah, yeah. John Durham is closing in on Hillary Clinton, right Sean? Any day now? And what’s the latest from Lindsay Graham?
So, what else is left worth watching on Fox News? Laura Ingraham? Yawn.
Anyway, goodbye Fox News. It was nice knowing you. (But not really.)
Why?
Why was Tucker Carlson fired by Fox News is the big question. This is about as foolish as Anheuser-Busch putting a transgender on a can of Bud Light. Talk about shooting your own brand in the foot. And make no mistake about it – he was FIRED. He doesn’t even get to do a farewell show or say goodbye to his fans on the network that he singlehandedly revived from the cable news doldrums starting in 2016.
Just last week, Fox News paid an enormous $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, which may or may not be a CIA front and which may or may not have played a major role in allegedly stealing the 2020 election. The details of the settlement are undisclosed, other than the dollar amount. We have to wonder if one of Dominion’s conditions under the settlement was that Fox News take Tucker Carlson off the air.
Tucker certainly had no shortage of enemies, either. Among the major stories that he’s broken in recent months are the fact that the CIA killed John F. Kennedy, and that the Capitol Police acted as tour guides for the supposed January 6th “insurrectionists.” He has also relentlessly pushed back against the permanent war party in Washington, pointing out the utter stupidity America supporting Ukraine against Russia.
Over the weekend, the Democrat Party’s leading dingbat and future Speaker of the House, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was blathering that the government needs to take Tucker Carlson off the air. The reason was the usual one: Tucker’s speech is somehow violence to trans people.
Tucker has also infuriated a lot of the most worthless politicians in Washington, DC, from Mitch McConnell to Chuck Schumer. He wasn’t afraid to challenge anyone on the air if they were wrong. He did a very respectful interview with President Trump just a few days ago (which surely infuriated the left and the Deep State).
He made all the right enemies during his seven-year stint at Fox News. Despite my deep and abiding hatred for the network, Tucker Carlson was the only program that I watched on a regular basis. He was and is one of the best in the dying media industry. I hope Joe Biden hasn’t thrown him in a gulag.
Hopefully we’ll be hearing from Tucker soon and will have more details on why the idiot Deep State/Democrat Party leftists at Fox News fired him. In the meantime, Tucker gave a great speech at the Heritage Foundation over the weekend, in which he gave no indication that he had just been fired the day before. Enjoy it, because this may be the last time that we hear from him in a long time:
