Glenn Reynolds: Tucker has 14.5 million views in just over two hours. How many people have watched Fox — or all the cable channels put together — in the same time period?

It’s not about ratings, viewership or any of this crap. It’s about ideology.
Yes, I find it hard to believe Fox wasn’t aware they’d take this hit. So the danger that Tucker Carlson presented outweighed the projected losses. It’s only money after all and maybe Biden will bail them out. Funny thing is, they will incur the losses and Tucker will still be standing. I think Bob Dylan wrote Idiot Wind to describe the process.
Someone’s got it in for me
They’re planting stories in the press
Whoever it is I wish they’d cut it out quick
But when they will I can only guess
They say I shot a man named Gray
And took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks
And when she died it came to me
I can’t help it if I’m lucky

Tucker’s tweet/vid now has 20 million views.
33.4 million. now…
Looks like Tucker has a lot more followers than the M S M is prepared to admit.
Best comment on his tweet. “Unlike Jeffrey Epstein, Fox News did kill itself.”
47.2 million now.
50 Million this morning at 1030 EDT.
“If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine”.
The asteroid has been summoned from within the house.
The Tucker banishment truly feels EXACTLY like the Bud Light miscalculation … two corporate bodies who intentionally offended their key constituency. I suspect they WANTED to banish people who believe men are men, and that Tucker speaks truth to power. These cretins WANT me gone. And they’ve got their wish. Perhaps this is NOT a miscalculation? But a deliberate act of banishment. Fox News is dead to me. Forever. And Budweiser? Never. Ever. Mission accomplished?
24 hour fact check?
Rumor is Old 92 yr old Vaccinated Rupert’s rich bride may-be $aid;
Tucker Carlson is a gift from God !!.
Rupert’s $$*** for brainstorming rage made him call off the engagement and fire T ucker.
Always blame it on God, Trump, or a woman.
Look at MSNBC ratings. Coming from behind just in time for the 2024 election cycle.
(Brought to you by Ozympic, really, it’s just for diabetes).
Twice nothing is still nothing.
Now 21.8 Million Views at 2347 EDT.
Up about .2 million in two minutes to over 22 Million.
Boy, SDA gets results, eh! 🙂
Fox and the Rebuttlickin’ Party gambled and lost, and spoiled scrounge Zelenskyy had a “long and meaningful talk” with Xi Jinping:

It didn’t take long to find out which way the wind is blowing. What an awkward time to be a cheerleader for Biden’s war.
It’s going to be pretty awkward for us if Ukraine loses the war given we’ve said we support regime change in Russia.
If not wanting Russia invading and destroying its neighbours is “cheerleading Bidens war” call me a cheerleader. But thinking Ukraine should just roll over and die when invaded by Russia and let all its people be slaughtered because it’s “Bidens war”, is just retarded.
As if you have any actual idea what’s going on. Not that I do but your post appears to be pure emotion based on the propaganda we are being fed daily.
Most thinking people just believe that America should stop fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. Then the war would end.
The Russians have proven that they don’t have the capacity to conquer Ukraine. But they can hold the Russian areas more or less indefinitely. The Ukrainians have beaten the Russian invasion, and can be confident of beating another one if anyone’s fool enough to try. But they cannot reconquer the Russian districts.
At the moment both sides declare themselves committed to goals that they cannot possibly achieve. So the only question is how much pointless slaughter do we indulge before they change their minds? The American Democrats say, “at least enough to suit my investment portfolio”. The Orc Dork and his like here say, “at least enough to bring us to orgasm again!” But most thinking people would say, maybe not quite so much?
I tend to agree, but would remind everyone that summer has just begun and the fat lady has not even begun to warm up…
Steve, you should know better. No, the war won’t end if the United States simply backs down. It will simply hand Ukraine on a platter to Russia. And Putin will then be free to murder millions in Ukraine the way Russia has always done in the past when it was given a free hand. Or do you think this to be a good thing? Do you think that it would have been a good thing if the United States and Britain had simply backed down after Germany overran Poland in 1939?
The United States didn’t do anything when Germany overran Poland. Didn’t even back down. It had nothing to do with them. So that’s hardly a hypothetical. Britain didn’t back down. It declared a war which it then proved unable to fight, and accomplished nothing whatsoever for Poland.
It might have been a good thing if Great Britain had backed down. That would depend, of course, on what else they did, and since they never did it, we’ll never know. But Poland wouldn’t have suffered any worse than it did. There was nothing the British could do to help them. Not backing down simply produced disaster.
Bring it closer to home …
AB, SK have UDI that state that they want to join the USA
Trudeau puts his foot down: arrests, bans political parties, bans English, flips trade with USA to with China, etc.
USA armed forces move into AB, SK
AB, SK have referendums to become USA states which USA accepts
So you’d be okay with a never ending China sponsored war throughout Canada, martial law across
Canada, conscription across Canada and fighting until the last Canadian that is able to hold a Chinese rifle.
China says that the war is all about propping up four sectors of the US economy, and that the Americans blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, so Zelenskyy’s “long and meaningful talk” seems significant. He told them they should take back Taiwan. It’s possible to condemn everything that Russia has done and still point out that this is an awkward moment, and that Biden is an incompetent fool.
If you haven’t seen them, I recommend viewing Carlson’s recent speech at the the Heritage Foundation and his brief message from his recent trip to Hungary.
I see a slight and disturbing resemblance to Howard Beale (“Network” 1974). Not so much in the way he presents himself, but in the stark contrast of pure motive versus absolute corruption.
Tonight’s message makes me feel like throwing open the window and shouting: I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this any more.
Sobering though, what they did to Beale. The decision was a foregone conclusion.
Tonight, pray for Tucker Carlson; for they have just discovered that he has the power they can only dream of.
I have no doubt he could be president but I highly doubt he’s interested. I wouldn’t be surprised if him and musk team up and make something amazing happen though.
maybe put a show on Twitter.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if him and musk team up and make something amazing happen though.”
I speculated on that very thing a couple days back.
I bet some people are kicking themselves for this.
Award winning journalist Rachel Gilmore says she will NOT work for Faux Noise!
Hey, she finally got something right!
Many only watched Tucker’s show on Youtube, rather than on Fox.
Tucker’s transition to another venue will be smooth.
Blackrock recently increased their ownership stake in Fox News to over 15% (past the reporting threshold). AOC called for Tucker and Fox in general to be censored. Lots of pressure from jealous left media and all democrats. Too many things happened all at once for it to be a coincidence
The PTB want sleepy Joe to hand the baton to Heels Up Harris Hyena. So, need to send those ratings into the tank so its wall to MSNBC with Faux playing the role of carnival barker.
I don’t believe the lawsuit settlement was the cause for Tucker’s removal … however even if true, the $4 per month that I was paying to watch Fox News was lost to them yesterday. Its hard to pay your bills when you sabotage your revenue.
This goes way beyond revenue to the survival of the regime. Desperate people do desperate things.
Carlson and Musk for Nobel Peace Prize.
Walter
And all the RINO’s for the no ballz piss prize!
Tucker is a natural to fill the Great Rush Limbaugh’s shoes. Snerdely where are you?
Tucker was kicking the establishment in the crotch on a daily basis.
Being against the war was too much for them.
