In a stunning move, Fox News announced on Monday that it had parted ways with its top-rated host, Tucker Carlson. The move came after Carlson was embroiled in a number of controversies, and after an almost $800 million settlement between Fox News and Dominion voting systems.
Carlson’s firing is a major blow to Fox News, which has long relied on his show to attract viewers and advertisers. The network is now facing the challenge of finding a new host who can fill Carlson’s shoes.
Some commentators have suggested that Fox News could turn to one of its other popular hosts, such as Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham. However, it is unclear whether either of these hosts would be willing to move to the 8 p.m. slot, which is considered to be the most important time slot on Fox News.
Another possibility is that Fox News could bring in a new host from outside the network. However, this would be a risky move, as it would be difficult to find someone who could match Carlson’s ratings and popularity.
Whatever Fox News decides to do, it is clear that the network is facing a difficult challenge. Carlson’s firing is a major setback, and it will be interesting to see how the network responds.
Trish Regan’s Tweet About Fox News Firing Tucker Carlson
Trish Regan, a former Fox News host, tweeted about Fox News firing Tucker Carlson on Monday. Regan said that Fox News would “go through soul searching now” and that the hosts would have “no confidence that management will ever back them.” Regan also said that “frankly? Who the heck would WANT the job knowing that the Murdochs told your predecessors to just get ratings – then gave them the boot.”
Regan’s tweet is a reflection of the uncertainty that now surrounds Fox News. The network has lost one of its most popular and controversial hosts, and it is unclear who will replace him. Regan’s tweet also suggests that there is a lack of trust between the hosts and management at Fox News.
Regan later added:
“Tucker Carlson made a TON of $$$ for the Murdoch family, but they kicked him to the curb. Tucker will be FINE. But, it’s a lesson to every smart creator: BE YOUR OWN BOSS.”
While other networks such as CNN also face challenges, the Republican Party needs all the help it can get and Fox News may not be doing them any favors currently, in our view anyway.
It remains to be seen how Fox News will recover from the loss of Tucker Carlson. However, it is clear that the network is facing a difficult challenge.
fox is so done.
I have eliminated them from my news intake. Totally.
Murdoch is aoc’s bitch.
