Tucker Carlson AND Dan Bongino out at Fox News

If Fox News is too liberal for you...

YOU JUST MIGHT A RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY THEORIST.


(Apologies to Jeff Foxworthy)

Rush Limbaugh's replacement.

That was actually handed over to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Bongino doesn’t seem like a replacement for Limbaugh, at least not personality-wise. I couldn’t stand Limbaugh, but thought Bongino was plenty salty while simultaneously being nowhere near as smarmy as Rush.

Dan Bongino says he's leaving Fox and Tucker's gone too. Might have to look for me a new source of right-wing fascist conspiracy theorist material, lol.

tucker carlson was the only reason we ever watched fox news anymore.....but it;s hard to catch his show most of the time.... all these prime time fox news shows come on in the middle of the day here when there is too many other things going on..... so we miss them most of the time anyway.......... ..but we have been watching newsmax and sky news australia mostly in the last few years. ..newsmax has a 24 live feed online you can get for free.....

My conservative RC brother (referenced in the other thread) tried to get me to switch to Newsmax a while back and told me yesterday to again to make the change. I watched their 10pm E.S.T. show last night and though I appreciated the manner in which they ideologically approached things I still had a hard time with the new personalities and styles. Carlson really got on my nerves at times, but his wit and perspective kept me tuned into his show religiously. Without him, Fox is going to lose a lot of viewership of the hard-core right folk.

Rush Limbaugh can’t be replaced by anyone. Trump is the only guy who Limbaugh ever indicated could fill his shoes, and Limbaugh encouraged Trump to consider it, but Limbaugh also knew Trump would consider doing a radio gig beneath him. I wish Trump would take Limbaugh’s radio job and leave the presidential race to someone else. Trump could probably have a good influence on the election from the “golden mic.”

there is a possibility carlson could end up at newsmax once the terms of his fox departure are satisfied... ...but even if he doesn;t, i think most of his dedicated viewers will move there anyway....and several former fox personalities are at newsmax...

If that happens, look for Hells Angels to start allowing members to ride Hondas and Yamahas.

That reminded me of a preacher I heard long ago - Jim Delaschmidt. He started a chapter of Hells Angels (I think in the St. Louis area) years before God saved him. He used to tell the story of how he got started on motorcycles. He described his 1st one as a "big, bad, hot, fast, Honda 150".

Wouldn't it be something if CNN picked up Tucker?

CNN let him go in 2005 when they cancelled Crossfire. I know it's not unknown for a network to re-hire a personality after parting ways, but it seems unlikely--especially considering how far to the left CNN has drifted since.

Just out of curiosity, do they broadcast these networks in Canada or do they have a Canadian version?
 
I would think Tucker would go on his own like Glen Beck or Megan Kelly.

We get American CNN, rather than CNN International, on basic cable. I think cable companies are allowed to (or possibly required to) insert ads tailored for Canadian viewers, but that's about the only difference. .

Fox News isn't on basic cable; it's always offered as a premium channel. Even a basic satellite TV package with hundreds of channels doesn't include it.
