Are you daft, that is exactly how he made his money, telling them what they wanted to hear, playing off their gullibility and need for someone to tell them they weren’t wrong. He lost his job cause he was an arrogant ass who admitted his low opinion of his fans and his boss had had enough.
Murdoch knew he was disposable, and that he could find another demagogue to replace him, just as he did O’Reilly for Beck and Tucker for O’Reilly
Poor anchovies, you are saying what I am saying just from a different angle> I can only go from a source that has a past history with FOX and that is Megyn Kelly who insists that it was Ruper who made the decision and she feels the reason was, Carlson was not toeing the line. That is pretty obvious when you consider the fact that Carlson's show was the only one that showed the hidden tapes from Jan 6. It was barely a blip from the other commentators on the FOX network. That, plus the fact Carlson did not office in NYC, wrote his own stuff, and was a loaded cannon that could go off in a direction the management did not approve.
You are a closed mined alt leftie but I would suggest you pick up a couple of hours of Kelly's podcast and catch the information that she gleaned from her remaining insiders still working at FOX.
As for media talking heads pumping out bullshit all day long, I always enjoyed Carlson's clips of left wing talking heads from a half dozen different outlets using the exact same words to describe an event on the exact same day.
Lefties hated him, I always watched the first twenty minutes for Carlson's humor and take on the bullshit that is going on in DC.
Get back to me after you have listened to a couple of Kelly's podcasts and we can get into the real likely reasons Carlson is gone.
1. He became too powerful
2. Murdoch could not control his every word
3. He did not generate a lot of ad revenue
4. Murdoch's children will likely try to sell that network as soon as daddy tips over and ad revenue is king when you go to sell. (The old man owns four shares and each dysfunctional child has one share).
I admired the fact Carlson does not work with the assholes at FOX as he lives in Maine and Florida and is still reputed not to own a TV. He is a very smart man and will make far more money away from FOX.
