Meanwhile on Russian State Media, they're pushing the conspiracy theory that #Tuckems is going to get assassinated.
#Tuckems is using his huge platform to attack #HunterBiden today I see.
I'm glad that Matt Gertz of Media Matters reminded me that Tucker Carlson and his wife asked their friend Hunter Biden to write their son a recommendation for Georgetown University. When he agreed to do so, his wife emailed him, "Tucker and I have the greatest respect and admiration for you. Always!”
Murdoch has #Tuckems under contract until Dec 31, 2024, and has sent him a cease-and-desist letter to end his ‘Tucker on Twitter’ show. 🤣
Of course, #Tuckems first video released on ELoon's foul site is to place the blame for the dam's destruction on #Ukraine saying, "Any fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians blew it up"!
So predictably a Putin stooge. I still think that Fox uncovered that he's an unregistered foreign agent and that's why they fired him.
Lachlan Murdoch dropped his defamation proceedings against the independent Australian media company Private Media, the publisher of Crikey at the same time they fired #Tuckems.
Murdoch launched defamation proceedings in August against the independent news site over an article published in June that named the Murdoch family as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the #J6 US Capitol attack.
Did they drop charges because they learned that they were true? https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/apr/21/lachlan-murdoch-drops-defamation-proceedings-against-independent-australian-publisher-crikey

Which reminds me of other news I want to share. In a move that surprises few of us paying attention to the far-right, #Tuckems just announced that he'll be in Hungary for another #CPAC there this week.
He's probably assuming that his communications are now being monitored so he's headed over where he can safely communicate with his FSB handlers to map out their new campaign post-Fox is my guess.
Plus, of course, he just likes hanging out with authoritarians like Orban too I'm sure
It's even trending over on that foul site so I won't swamp my instance with yet another image of it, but I don't buy the NYTimes framing that Fox executives were worried about #Tuckems saying, "It's not how white men fight", nor his apparent signs of showing some empathy for the mob's victim.
I'm still assuming that they found evidence that he is an unregistered foreign agent which would put them in criminal instead of just financial liability if they continued to put him on air. #FARA
@jackhutton @qwosl
It is possible that Fox Corporation found evidence that #Tuckems has been acting as an unregistered foreign agent which would have put them in legal jeopardy to continue airing him after it was known.
Anyways, just asking questions.
I still think its suspicious that Don Lemon and #Tuckems were let go at the same time, but that's circumstantial of course.
Anyways, I don't think that #TuckerCarlson was let go at such a high cost to the network unless they're trying to protect themselves from more liability, perhaps even criminal.
Wouldn't surprise me that they uncovered evidence that he was an unregistered foreign agent personally.
BTW, new guidelines on FARA were just made public last week. https://www.justice.gov/nsd-fara/advisory-opinions
@thepoliticalcat @1finekitty
Tucker Carlson may be the Republican nominee imo.
How do you think Biden would do against #Tuckems?
@CaptMorgan
I'm wondering if #Tuckems non-compete clause includes not going on Russia Today or not. 🤣
#Tuckems departure impact:
Last Monday, Newsmax only averaged 132,000 viewers in primetime.
Monday after they fired Carlson, Eric Bolling of NewsMax pulled in 531,000 total viewers and Greg Kelly's Trump interview totaled 540,000. Even the 10 pm hour nabbed 350,000 viewers.
@ryanjreilly shared this picture from #J6 that provides quite a nice metaphor for #Tuckems "parting ways" with #FauxNews imo.
Hey Tuckems! 📣 The "Race Lady" is still on T.V. 🫵😂 #TuckerCarlsons #Tuckems #Fox #FoxNews #FauxNews

Fox "News" will always be trash. With or without Tuckems. #TuckerCarlsons #FoxNews #Tuckems

It appears that Tucker Carlson…scoundrel that he is…
His “poison🍎”…doesn’t fall far from his “scoundrel daddy’s “Lying 🌳”.
“We beat the scoundrels,” Alioto said in a 1977 statement. “How sweet it is.”
